    Why Medicine Stopped Being About Trust

Explore Augustine College, a one-year classical Christian program in Ottawa that prepares students to think and live faithfully in a secular age: 🔗 https://pxllnk.co/augustinepodcast In this deeply reflective episode, Dr. John Patrick explores how the practice of medicine transformed from a trust-based relationship rooted in moral principles to a science-focused system that has lost public confidence. He traces this evolution from the Hippocratic physicians who prioritized trust and moral commitment, through the medieval reintroduction of Greek learning, to modern medicine's emphasis on empirical data over ethical foundation. Dr. Patrick examines how the removal of transcendent beliefs and biblical principles from medical education has created a crisis of trust, and suggests that the church may need to reclaim its historical role in healthcare. 🎬 Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/C5PAd_NFpA0 // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literacy Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick

    Why Christian Ethics Must Start With Jesus

Explore Augustine College, a one-year classical Christian program in Ottawa that prepares students to think and live faithfully in a secular age: 🔗 https://pxllnk.co/augustinepodcast In this deeply reflective episode, Dr. John Patrick explores Oliver O'Donovan's groundbreaking work "Resurrection and Moral Order" and its challenge to modern approaches to Christian ethics. He argues that true Christian ethics cannot be separated from the gospel of Jesus Christ, critiquing both moralistic and antinomian approaches that disconnect faith from moral reasoning. Dr. Patrick examines how the resurrection fundamentally changes our understanding of moral order and why secular approaches to ethics education, particularly in medical schools, fall short of creating truly ethical practitioners. 🎬 Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/YzCaSLAuYrc // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literacy Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick
