As we continue to look ahead to Summer Programs, we are introducing you to a new friend of Regent, Dr. Warren Kinghorn, psychiatrist and theologian at Duke University. In this sensitive and insightful conversation, Warren reflects on his many years practising medicine as a Christian psychiatrist. He considers the intersection of psychiatry, theology, and human experience, emphasizing the importance of understanding people as whole persons on a journey rather than machines or clusters of symptoms.  He points us to the reality of human interdependence as a gift, and our common humanity as wayfarers, persons on a journey, seeking to discern what we need in the particularities of our lives in community with others. Warren will be joining us at Regent from July 6-10 to teach “Christian Faith and Mental Healthcare.” We hope to see you here!

(TW) Warren discusses difficult issues, such as suicidality and euthanasia, as well as other mental health challenges.
