When you are swamped by tragedy and darkness, when all you are seeing is broken and the worst that society has to offer, what does your faith offer you? For Will Berry, a paramedic for 14 years, his Christian faith provides a loving God, and the presence of light in the situation, perhaps his own God-given skills and ability are the light in the darkness.
This is the first half of my conversation with Will. The second half will be released in two weeks.
Highlights:
· Will Berry's religious background – core beliefs and changing denominations
· The tension between the theoretical understanding of faith and real-world challenges.
· God is all-powerful; faith bridges the mysterious gaps.
· Being compassionate and attentive in emergencies.
· Handling chaotic situations involving crime, addiction, and mental health.
· The role of faith in providing light in dark situations – being an instrument of light and hope
