@swamidass, the section of the video from 37:40 – 45:37 was very compelling to me. I’ve listened to it multiple times.
Whenever Christian career scientists (and those in academia) talk about navigating these types of issues within their career, I always pay close attention. I’ve collected many quotes like these over the years, because I’ve always been curious as to what it’s like being in this career field. This one was worth saving. You were being pretty vulnerable there. Thank you for sharing that video with us!
Having said that, I’d be curious to hear input from other career scientist in this forum about this section of the video. In particular the question you asked, and both discussed:
“If you had to choose between acceptance of your colleges and the acceptance of your friends in the church, or the community of the church, which would be a harder one to lose?”
Would you be willing to start a new thread on just that topic? I know I’m free to start threads here, but I’d like it to come from you.
