Physician and TMC alumnus, Jeffrey Baker, will discuss the podcast he co-hosted about the story of Maltheus Avery, a Black man who died following a car accident, after having been turned away from Duke Hospital because of his race. Dr. Baker will discuss Christian themes that arose during the project. 

Providing care among the poor and marginalized has always required tenacity and perseverance. Failures, discouragement, and even despair are commonplace. In this seminar, Rick Donlon, MD, and Susan Post, D.Min., MBA, explore the normal course of faithful and sacrificial Christian discipleship, and the means of grace available for long-term faithfulness.

Drs. Natalie Carnes and Brewer Eberly discuss how beauty has been among the Christian names for God and why beauty, like suffering, is so central to the Christian story. What do these two parts of our existence—beauty and suffering—have to do with one another? And how can their togetherness help us love and attend in the strange world of medicine?
