S14 Ep 03 | Chris Houston | Letters from a Hospital Bed: A Son's Journey with James Houston

In this episode of Scripture Untangled, journalist Lorna Dueck sits down with Chris Houston to reflect on the remarkable final years of his father, Dr. James Houston, founder of Regent College. After a fall at age 99, James Houston believed he was nearing the end of his life. Instead, what followed became an unexpected new chapter marked by purpose, gratitude, community, and a continued passion for participating in what God was doing.  In this episode, Chris and Lorna discuss:  The remarkable life and legacy of Regent College founder Dr. James Houston.  Why James Houston seemed to be 'ascending' rather than declining in his final years.  The story behind Letters from a Hospital Bed.  Caring for aging parents with dignity and grace, and how families can honor loved ones in their final years.  The wisdom, gratitude, and purpose that marked James Houston's final years.  Read the transcript: biblesociety.ca/transcript-scripture-untangled-s14-ep3  ===== Chris Houston is a husband, father, grandfather and active management consultant, working with mostly business leaders of businesses to shape the organizations they lead in order to create more good. Chris trained and practiced as a fisheries biologist and then learned the language of business through his MBA. For over thirty years, he has served multinational clients in North America, Europe and Asia.  Now, he brings to his work the mind of an ecologist, the discipline of strategy and the heart of a Christ follower. He is passionate to see in others the freedom to live out the Faith in every context of life and in so doing to become astute discoverers of the endlessly creative work of our redemptive God, whether in the boardroom, or the greenhouse, or the grocery store or the library, or any other sphere. Chris was fortunate to have had a ringside seat for the life of his father, James M Houston, with and about whom he has written in their book “Letters from a Hospital Bed”.  jimhouston.org   Canadian Bible Society: biblesociety.ca Help people hear God speak: biblesociety.ca/donate Connect with us on Instagram: @canadianbiblesociety The Bible Course: biblecourse.ca
