Fulfilling the Law of Christ | Meet Dr. Pamela Pyle

Christian end of life doula training
POSTSLINKSHOMEPAGE

The Death & Resurrection Doula Newsletter

September 15, 2026

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

— Galatians 6:2

The Christian doctrine of vocation teaches that God ministers to His creation through the people He calls, endowing them with skills and wisdom.

An end-of-life doula is one of the ways in which God bears the burdens of those who are suffering, making His compassion, hospitality, and hope visible in the world.

An estimated 1 billion people make up the Baby Boomer generation globally.

In the coming decade, we will face a dramatic shift in how we understand and live out our responsibility to the aging and dying.

If we want to see Christian faithfulness restored to the care of the dying, we need more Christians prepared to be present—not simply as volunteers or professionals, but as people formed by the hope of Christ and equipped to serve their communities well.

Saying yes to the Spirit's prompting matters. God will provide through your hands and your heart.

There are several ways to attend our training on Oct. 9-10!

Meet Dr. Pamela Pyle, author of Anticipating Heaven.

Dr. Pamela Pyle is a physician called to the intersection of medicine and faith which delivers hope — offering compassionate guidance through faith-centered healthcare for those facing suffering, grief, and the sacred journey of life and death.

​Pamela is the author of Anticipating Heaven: Spiritual Comfort and Practical Wisdom for Life's final Chapters.

Pamela is one of our Oct. 10 presenters. We will also read and discuss her book at the International Fellowship Café this fall!

Training is the heart of our community.

Growing the number of informed Christians is an important part of changing the conversation around death and end-of-life care.

We have several first come, first serve church-based scholarships available for new students and for small groups who want to join us at our Recovering a Culture of Christian Hospitality Conference.

If you have been discerning whether Christian end-of-life doula training is right for you, this may be the time to take the next step.

Complete the registration form and select YES when asked if you are applying for a church-based scholarship.
