Episode 196: Rising From The Dust - #WholeLifeRetreat 2020 Edition

This year’s Retreat speaker was Dr. Carla Gober Park. Carla is currently the Executive Director of Faith Community Strategy at AdventHealth in Florida and the Special Assistant to the President at AdventHealth University. Before moving to Florida, she was Assistant Vice President for Spiritual Life and Mission at Loma Linda University Health and director of a center for whole-person care. Carla has degrees in four different fields: nursing, counseling, public health, and a Ph.D. in religious studies. She is also a storyteller and filmmaker. In 2015, she was the producer and executive producer of the award-winning film, A Certain Kind of Light, a short-form documentary film on whole-person care. Carla’s humor and deep commitment to God, community, and church form the foundation for everything she does. She married the love of her life in 2013 — a Scotsman in a kilt! Carla and Gordon, with their dog Cypher, split their time between California and Florida and love being out where you can still see the stars at night.
