Junior Doctors Foundations - episode 2: Identity

Welcome to the second episode in this new mini-series, Junior Doctor Foundations, released as part of CMF’s 1st incision podcast. 
 
 We kick-start this mini-series with six episodes focusing on how to thrive as a Christian junior doctor living and working in a culture described as a ‘Digital Babylon’. 
 
 Life in the twenty-first century is accelerated and more complex than ever before. As Christians, especially junior doctors, it can feel like we are exiles living in a culture hostile to our faith. So how might we keep running the race of faith despite all the challenges?
 
 Today we are unpacking the topic of identity. Your host is Lizzy Kennedy (a junior doctor based in Devon); she is joined by John Greenall (a Paediatrician and CMF Associate CEO) and guest speaker Glynn Harrison (Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, now retired after a successful clinical and academic career).  

This podcast series is inspired by the book Faith for Exiles. Written by members of the Barna Research Group who have interviewed around 100,000 young adults, it focuses on what we can learn from the practices of those young people who have kept going with their faith.
