Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield Returning Guest, Dr. Pamela Pyle author of Anticipating Heaven Friends, We are blessed to have with us Dr. Pamela Pyle. Physician, Author, Speaker, and thought leader are words that picture her life! These are framed by “deeply spiritual lady of Faith in Christ Jesus and the Bible” when introducing Dr. Pamela! In her own words, “Life is short and fear often holds us back from true living…I help people confront their fears and replace them with hope so they can live life fully, face life’s challenges with courage and leave a lasting legacy!” In our conversation, she expressed a subject that has been a burden to her heart lately…health inequalities between people groups! Dr. Pamela will share and lead a discussion with us regarding this subject which will be both thought provoking and enlightening at the same time! So friends mark your calender as always for your show “Raising Expectations!” *Her website, www.drpamela.com, is a resource for navigating the foreign world of healthcare by uniting medicine and faith to bring wisdom and hope. Don't forget to check out Guest, Dr. Pamela Pyle's book: "Anticipating Heaven: Spiritual Comfort and Practical Wisdom for Life's Final Chapters" on Amazon! Short description of "Anticipating Heaven: Spiritual Comfort and Practical Wisdom for Life's Final Chapters" from Amazon: Is there a way to walk into the final chapters of life with peace and confidence, and with support and wisdom? We all are living an earthly story with a beginning, middle, and end. While aspects of our story's closing hold mystery, we do not have to feel lost as we move toward it. We instead can lean on the support and wisdom of others who know the path ahead. In Anticipating Heaven, she offers that same practical advice and spiritual comfort to you and your loved ones as you navigate a serious illness. Drawing on her years of experience and strong faith, Dr. Pyle will share inspiring patient stories and clear guidance, helping you to: -Navigate the world of healthcare with confidence, -Prepare an end-of-life plan with peace, -Remember your heavenly destination with hope, -Embrace the final chapters with love, and -Anticipate the presence of God and your glorified body with joy. Clarity can replace chaos. Assurance can overcome uncertainty. And love can conquer fear. You are not alone on this path. You are leaving the land of the dying and entering the land of the living, a place God calls home. As one story is closing, a bright new one is beginning. The Team!
