Â
In this wide-ranging and deeply reflective episode, Dr. John Patrick explores the modern crisis of authority and its profound consequences for culture, medicine, education, and moral life. Drawing on philosophy, theology, literature, and personal experience, Dr. Patrick critiques naturalism and the loss of transcendence in Western society, arguing that without objective moral truth, concepts like courage, love, duty, and honor lose their meaning.
He reflects on conversion experiences, including the Apostle Paul’s Damascus Road encounter, and highlights contemporary examples of faith transforming lives across cultures. Turning to medicine, Dr. Patrick contrasts modern evaluation frameworks with a richer, older vision rooted in character, responsibility, and humility—drawing from figures like Thomas Sydenham and W.H. Auden.
