redeeming memory on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Dale Johnson and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified

Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people

face.

This week on the podcast, I'm delighted to have with me my new friend, Matt Rare.

Matt's an emergency medicine physician in the Bay Area.

He graduated from Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, and he moved to the Bay Area for residency in 2008, where he and his wife, Kara,

have lived ever since.

Matt and Kara have been married for 18 years and have three children.

Matt serves on staff and as an elder at his church, North Creek, Church in Walnut Creek.

He is the author of Redeeming Memory, which we'll talk about today, and he contributed a chapter on

dementia for the Christian counselor's medical desk reference. Brother, thank you so much for being

here. I'm so grateful for your work and your mind and heart for the Lord Jesus, which our

listeners are going to hear about today. So thank you for being with me. Yeah, thanks for

inviting me, Dale. I'm looking forward to talking back and forth, having a conversation about memory.

I'm so grateful for your influence, the many other physicians that we have as a part of our organization here at ACBC.

And we want to be wise on these types of issues.

You've taken a personal interest in this topic of memory, which I think is, you know,

a really important cultural topic. And I love the way in the book that you approach this,

wanting to deal accurately with the science, but also seeing that the Bible has a lot to say

about this issue of memory. And so I want us to get into this if we can. I think it'd be

helpful for our listeners maybe who haven't seen the book or picked the book up. What inspired you
