“While transitioning from one job to the next is never easy, resting in God’s sovereign plan is what made the entire process peaceful,” Dr. Dave Lescalleet said. “By that I mean, in the natural, I met the needed qualification that PruittHealth was wanting in their Director of Chaplaincy position. But knowing there were quite a few qualified candidates, I kept this opportunity in an open hand. I trusted the Lord to open the doors that He wanted opened and to close the doors that He wanted shut. Having been with PruittHealth now for six months, I can look back and see that this was an obvious fit and God’s fingerprints were everywhere.”
