The Doctor Is In

On today's podcast, we will take you through one clergy's journey of going from experiencing a flourishing pastoral ministry to falling victim of the troubles of this world.  He will tell you about being predisposed to alcohol,  two failed marriages, experiencing a fatal car crash, to becoming addicted to pain medication, and now homelessness.  However, through it all, he says that God has sustained me for such a time as this.  His goal is to get his life in order and continue walking the path toward his calling, which is in Christ Jesus. 

Today, I had the privilege of interviewing, Psychologist, Dr. Wallace Jackmon.  Dr. Jackmon is the Director of Psychology and practitioner at Avera Behavioral Health Systems in Sioux Falls, SD.  Dr. Jackmon holds a Masters Degree in Social Work, as well as Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.  Dr. Jackmon has over thirty years experience as a clinician and has an intimate connection to the City of Sioux Falls.  It's a pleasure having this opportunity to interview him. 

This is a conversation with a person who, over the years, has valued the attendance of his own mental health.  Hopefully listeners will gain insight and instruction in this very vital conversation. 

My friend Jon Thum, was recently appointed as the Chief of Police in Sioux Falls, SD.  The town where he grew up, married, is raising children, and serving God.  We get to cover all of that in this podcast.  Though we ran out of time, we vowed to continue this conversation in the near future.  

The recording only lasted 30 minutes, but the conversation went on.  See my blog bearing the same title soon.  For more information about this conversation and others, go to www.rddinstitute.com.  

What keeps you from moving forward with your dreams?  YOU!

Our guest star for this episode is Mr. Kenneth Mosely, starring as Barry Gordy in Motown The Musical.  We continue our journey talking about Facing Your Fears or another way to look at is to think in terms of when Fear meets Faith.  

We all have fears, true or false?  Even those who might be considered the best.  Our focus in the first season, is to chat with people of faith, celebrities (in their own rights) and the everyday person about the fears they are faced with and their navigation system for facing and dealing with their fears.

What fears are you faced with that you haven't fully found a way to navigate it.  "The Doctor Is In" will interview people of faith, celebrity figures (in their own rights), and the everyday person, about the fears they haven't yet navigated.  Dr. Duncan will provide tools that may help with this navigation process.
