Spiritual Care

As a nurse, you have heard this question dozens of times. For many, the natural inclination is to "fix" the problem by offering suggestions, but that approach is limited by our own experience and personal biases.

He endowed us with spiritual capacity, or the ability to understand his views and values. As we endeavor to live by these, we enjoy greater happiness and meaning in life. More than that, he gave us the ...

An ancient spiritual practice exists that can help restore balance to our lives: the practice of keeping sabbath. But how exactly do we manage to build time for sabbath into our busy lives? Dana Trent explores this question in For Sabbath's Sake.

To be pastoral is to create a sacred space and time for the other person who needs support.

In order to provide effective pastoral care ministry and also be able to nail down and address the core issues bothering an individual, the caregiver should look beyond the ordinary and superficial, and companion into the deep ("the shadow") with the counselee, mentee, directee, client, patient, and the like.

When you need to analyze what is going on around you, sometimes, taking the thoughts out of your head, where they are all muddled, and scripting them onto a piece of good old fashioned paper, with a pen, can truly help you a) get those ideas visually in front of you b) clear your mind, because having it written down allows you the freedom to step away without worrying you are going to forget the most important elements necessary c) look at things objectively, once you have had some time and space away from the muddle d) keep of record of how you were feeling, what you were thinking, and how...
