I’m meant to be among chaos and uncertainty of the suffering.
Show Notes:
The son of parents from the mission field, Jonathan Stoner serves as one of five staff chaplains for the City of Hope Duarte cancer hospital. It was so abundantly clear to me from the first moments of my acquaintance and conversations with this compassionate spiritual support leader that he was destined to walk alongside the hurting and ailing among us.
Shaped by his own mission field experiences in East Africa, Hawaii, Ireland and Barcelona, Spain, not to mention his hospital stay with an early childhood illness, all his journeys proved to be precursors for his vocation of day-to-day, hands-on spiritual support, a service he feels privileged to provide to the cancer community every day.
Listen now and let this man’s spirit of love and humanity wash over you.
