Hey there! It's Inga Hofmann, host of the Heal the Healers podcast, and I'm thrilled to dive deep into a topic that's often swept under the rug: envy and jealousy within medicine, especially academic medicine. Caution this episode might trigger you. That’s good. Triggers make us think and explore areas where we need to grow.
Have you ever found yourself feeling envious of a colleague's achievements, whether it's academic milestones, career advancements, or goals reached before you? Trust me, you're not alone. But here's the thing: these emotions can hinder our personal and professional growth if we don't address them.
In this thought-provoking episode, we're going to explore what the Bible has to say about envy and jealousy and how they can impact our lives in medicine. I'll shed light on the root causes of these emotions and, most importantly, share practical strategies to overcome them.
Let's face it, nobody really talks about this topic, but it's crucial for our well-being and the overall environment in medicine. I'll guide you through the process of repentance, forgiveness, and understanding our God-given assignments, all while encouraging you to submit your thoughts to Christ.
So, get ready to talk about a topic nobody wants to touch and gain a fresh perspective, break free from the chains of envy and jealousy that are holding you back and getting you off assignment, and create a healthier, more supportive medical community.
