Navigating Chronic Health Issues and Ministry Responsibilities

Most of us experience relatively good health. Occasionally we might get sick, then recover a couple of weeks later and return to normal life with no lasting ill effects. But what happens when you’re struck with an ongoing health issue that doesn’t go away—not two, three, six months or even a number of years later? What impact does an ongoing illness have on your physical health, mental health and even your spiritual health? In this episode, Peter Orr is joined by Andrew and Kath Bruce. Andrew is the rector of St Peters Anglican Church in Sydney and his wife Kath is a GP. Together, they help us think about chronic health from a personal, theological, medical and practical perspective.
