Physician · Author · Ministry Leader
A physician called to the intersection of medicine and faith which delivers hope.
“One of the treasures of my life has been the privilege to enter the lives of those suffering through an unexpected diagnosis, chronic disease, unrelenting physical or emotional pain, the dying journey, and those facing their own mortality.
I do not take for granted this calling to serve you and bring you words of hope. I am deeply grateful that in some small way He may use me to reveal His deep and abiding love for you and for me simultaneously.”
Dr. Pamela Prince Pyle
What I Do
Who I am
He accepted me as I was — deeply flawed and yet forgiven. My faith is not a performance or a platform. It is the foundation of everything I am and everything I do. The Jesus I know meets people in their suffering, walks with them through fear, and never lets go. That is the Jesus I want you to meet too.
My husband Scott is my greatest champion and my strongest hero. As I was running from Jesus, he was praying me into the rest of grace. We share five children, two sons-in-love, and eight grandchildren. We raised them with the motto, “roots to grow and wings to fly.”
My children and I are members of the Western Cherokee Nation. Our Cherokee heritage and Christian faith remind us that we are a tribe (albeit chaotic at times). We seek to understand the sacred connection between generations.
Roots keep you grounded. Wings give your children something worth flying toward and the ability to do so. They are each flying into their own beautiful life and we are adjusting to the empty nest life.
Legacy isn’t what you leave behind — it’s what survives and flourishes after you’re gone. From the Dream Medical Center in Rwanda, to writing Anticipating Heaven to change how we experience disease, dying, and death, to developing curriculum for Human Flourishing, I’m investing in a future I may never fully see.
I believe what I often say: “It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to end well.” I hope to run my race well for the Glory of God and Him only. I want to keep running till I slide into my coffin like home base, and shout, “Well, that was fun!”
It might appear that if you have read to this point that I have it all together. I laugh at that phrase because those closest to me — and especially me — would laugh at the statement. I most certainly don’t have it all together, the perfect life, the whatever, whatever, you might have imagined.
What I can share are my two most important personality qualities. The first is authenticity. When I state, “You Matter Here”, I mean it. You are the only reason I am here, and that is because God is here. You won’t meet a different person here than the one you would meet if you were a “fly on our wall.”
My second quality is grit. Grit makes you get up and get over yourself to accomplish what God has given you to do. I tell myself, “Get up Pammy, time is a waistin’.” So, I fail forward.
