Last Lecture Series: Dr. Ray Mitsch
Join the Centennial Institute for our upcoming Last Lecture event with Dr. Ray Mitsch, Affiliate Professor of Psychology at Colorado Christian University.
Inspired by the story of former Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch who, after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, presented a final lecture of lessons he had always wanted to share with his students, Centennial Institute posed the question to Colorado Christian University’s top faculty and staff: “If this was your last chance to address your students, how would you summarize your accumulated wisdom into a concise summation?”

About Dr. Ray Mitsch
In 2005, after experiencing a devastating accident that left him in perpetual pain, Dr. Mitsch embarked on a journey into the heart of God, which led to the realization that God didn’t need him to “accomplish” ministry for Him. Dr. Mitsch was hijacked by the tender, relentless grace of Jesus that cemented his conviction that God wanted a brutally honest, authentic relationship with him. This led him into a long desert experience with God that has refined and transformed his relationships with himself, others, and his Abba.
He has authored seven books including his best-selling book, “Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love,” selling over 400,000 copies worldwide. He just released a new book on grief entitled, “Seasons of our Grief: Embracing the Journey”. He was a charter member of the American Association of Christian Counseling and is a licensed psychologist in Colorado. Ray has been married to Linda for over 45 years and is blessed to have four daughters: Corrie, Anne, Abigail, and Elizabeth and three grandsons, Greyson, Desmond and Henry. The Mitsches live in the Denver area.
