#64 - Part 2 - Getting to know Clint Burgess

Here's part 2 of my interview with Clint.  It was an awesome discussion around "knowing" and "uncertainty".  Hope you all enjoy!

#63 - Part 1 - The Gift Of Uncertainty - Getting to know Clint Burgess

In this episode, I had the chance to sit down with Clint Burgess from the Kechter Farm Ward. I’d met Clint a few times before, but this was the first real opportunity I had to get to know him—and I’m so glad I did. (Big thanks to Shawn Buffington for making the introduction and helping bring him on the podcast!) Clint has a fascinating story. The highlight for me was hearing him talk about his faith journey—especially how he navigates uncertainty in a church culture that often emphasizes ‘knowing.’ He’s refreshingly honest and open about where he’s at, and how he keeps moving forward even with real, unresolved questions.  Enjoy!

#62 - From Growing Up On A Farm To Becoming A Dermatologist - Getting to know Mark Taylor (my father in law)

Growing up on a farm in Rexburg 2. Realizing that he didn't want to be a farmer and what he was going to do about it 3. Going on a mission to Austria 4. Meeting the daughter of the mission president (that eventually became his wife) 5. Training to become a dermatologist 6. How he always worked hard to accomplish his goals 7. Building his dermatology practice over 40 years
