In knowing our Creator, we can know the human psyche; and from understanding who we are, we discover more about our Maker. Understanding the human psyche is a valuable vocation as it strengthens us to better serve our fellow man and complete our mandate to preach the gospel to the world. Few things are everlasting, but one of those things is the soul of every person.
