What does it look like to lead not just with strategy, but with soul? In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer speaks with Laura Richter, executive advisor to various healthcare systems, about the quiet revolution happening in Catholic healthcare—mission integration. From executive formation rooted in Catholic social teaching to navigating ethical quandaries with theologians on call, this conversation explores how identity, tradition, and spiritual formation shape some of the largest healthcare systems in the U.S. It's a masterclass in aligning vocation with organization, purpose with practice. Protestant listeners may come away inspired—and maybe a little envious.
