(Podcast) Meaning, Happiness, and the Purpose of Life (w. Dr. James Michael Castleton, MD)

It is said that many NFL players have come to Christ after winning the Super Bowl, including the all-star Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Deion Sanders. You can find his testimony at https://jcsuperstars.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/deion-sanders-testimony/. Many, like Sanders, have come to the realization that success does not always provide the purpose for which one seeks. But where is purpose found? How does one describe happiness? Is it wrong to seek happiness or is it opposed to the believer’s lifestyle? Where is purpose found?

Today on the Bellator Christi Podcast, we are joined by award-winning cardiologist and behavioral scientist, Dr. James Michael Castleton, MD. Dr. Castleton received his training and education in medicine and behavioral science at Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and Oxford University. He is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and National Heart Institute and a master physician and laureate of the American Board of Cardiology. He currently resides and practices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Dr. Castleton recently wrote a book entitled Mending of a Broken Heart: The Nature of Meaning and the Purpose that Gives Life Hope. In his book, Dr. Castleton asks, what is the purpose of our lives? Dr. Castleton addresses that question in his poignant work Mending of a Broken Heart: The Nature of Meaning and the Purpose that Gives Life Hope through a series of spiritual meditations, journal reflections, theological commentary, and poetry.

Join us today as we welcome Dr. Castleton to the podcast and as we journey into the questions of purpose and meaning.
