On this episode of Life Update, we have the privilege of talking with Dr. Rick Becker, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Saint Mary’s College. He has much wisdom to offer from his career as an oncology and hospice nurse and as a nursing instructor. Dr. Becker has an infectious passion for talking about living life to the fullest in Christ. He offers our listeners valuable insight into how to navigate difficult issues at the end of life. In our conversation, Dr. Becker brings much-needed clarity to the stark difference between physician-assisted suicide and compassionate palliative care.

This week we hear about the Christ-centered mission of LifePlan, a pregnancy resource organization with locations in Niles, Benton Harbor, and now–the Miami Village neighborhood in South Bend! Check out their new center at 2206 Miami St. and hear their story as Lyndon, Lisa, and Tiffany share their personal journeys with this incredible group of disciples bringing compassionate care and the Gospel message to our city.
