Critical thinking was woven into every class. The injunction to explain academic propositions, cite sources, and define terms meant that no matter what I thought, it could never be groundless. This bred a style of thought that has served me well ever since. Also, the many disciplines of history, literature, philosophy, science, music, and art gave me a foundation for interpreting the world. When Solomon said there was nothing new under the sun, it wasn’t just his wisdom but the eternal word of God. How have you impacted culture around you for the glory of God? I believe that I have positively impacted culture by being a faithful witness of God’s love in the mental health field. There have been many moments of alleviating suffering and promoting human flourishing, and there are even moments of sharing my faith. In the university setting, many students and faculty have no idea what Christians are like or what they believe. I often get to dispel myths and introduce people to Christ. What advice from your CDA experience would you give to help future CDA graduates? I would encourage everyone at CDA to soak it in. Enjoy your CDA experience as much as you can and appreciate all that is offered there. Keep your mind open to what college, career, and people the Lord may lead you to. I have been amazed at how He has worked the more He opens my life to His will. When the sovereign, holy, loving God of the universe is at the helm, you will NEVER be bored. 4 David Neal, MD CDA–Flower Mound, Class of 2008 Texas Christian University Bachelor of Science: Biology UT Southwestern Medical School Doctor of Medicine Occupation: Orthopaedic Surgery Resident Physician at John Peter Smith Hospital Resides in Fort Worth, TX, with his wife, Holly How did CDA help form your How have you impacted culture What advice from your CDA worldview? around you for the glory of God? experience would you give to help CDA was instrumental in forming a Starting at CDA and continuing future CDA graduates? foundation for my life rooted in faith.
