Episode 328 - Dorian Johnson - The View From Above, One Father's Memoir of Grief Guided to Grace
Exactly one year later, Dorian hikes up the same trail as a memorial to his son and recalls the three-day search process with raw emotion. Bailand’s final text, “This is a beast of a hike, but talk about a view!” takes on a deeper meaning as Dorian relates his hike to the journey of life. This is not only a story of a man facing insurmountable loss and grief, but of his restorative process through the healing power of virtue and the spiritual connection he feels to his deceased son. “Remember in the New Testament, Jesus was touched by a woman with an issue of blood? He said He felt ‘virtue’ come out of Him with her touch.
As I considered this story, I was stumped thinking about which virtue the woman needed to heal her physical ailment. Which virtue came out of Him?”Belinda still looked confused. “I honestly have no idea.”“Does it matter?” I asked. “She was healed completely and whatever she needed for healing was offered by Christ.” Dorian has created The Chemistry of Virtues (modeled after the periodic table) to illustrate how virtues impact each other and can be used to successfully heal. No matter how deep the wound, virtuous actions provide hope for healing.
