In Episode 135 of the 1life podcast, Behka discusses her role as a hospice chaplain and the concept of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Colorado. Professionally she supports her patients' decisions, and personally, she holds a differing belief system.
Behka believes God determines the day of birth and death, and choosing to end life prematurely interrupts an intended progression. She also believes the body is an essential part of the soul, and its separation at death is a form of bondage for the spirit until the resurrection.
She emphasizes the preciousness of life and invites listeners to take a moment to feel the joy of being alive, to breathe in positivity and release negativity. She encourages listeners to hug loved ones and express how precious life is.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
