Pam King: Coming January 8th from the Thrive Center at Fuller Theological Seminary, this is With & For, a podcast for growth seekers and people focused leaders that plumbs the depths of psychological science and spiritual wisdom to offer practical guidance toward spiritual health, wholeness, and a life of thriving.
Welcome to With & For. I'm Dr. Pam King, and it's my life's purpose to help people thrive. I've spent the last two decades at the intersections of psychology and spirituality, wrestling with the most practical questions of how people grow, relate, and become their whole selves. We're all walking a path towards spiritual health, discovering that it's something we pursue in deep relationality with each other, and always for a greater purpose than ourselves.
But a path to spiritual health is full of obstacles. Life's hustle and bustle. The relentless bombardment of stimuli, the frantic pace of life, an epidemic of loneliness reveals relational strains and a misleading culture of self reliance. A crisis of purpose and vocation undermines the meaning of our work and the tears in our social and moral fabric are eroding a sense of who we are, as relational creatures that thrive with and for others.
I believe we not only need a better vision for spiritual health, but also the tools and practical steps for the journey. In this podcast, we'll find there's wisdom and insight to discover, practices to center and ground us, light to play with and grow toward, beauty to inspire us, unbounding love to abide by, mentors to learn from, and each moment a chance to begin again.
With & For is my invitation to pursue thriving through relational connection: who we're with. And through purpose: what we're for.
Every Monday, we'll release a new conversation that weaves scientific insight with spiritual wisdom, offering concrete practices that keep us on the path towards spiritual health and thriving.
Throughout the first season, my guests and I discuss the hallmarks of a healthy mind, how to find purpose, what to do when you encounter trauma and suffering, compassion, self care, rest and patience, relational neuroscience, a reorientation of theology around human flourishing and a life worth living, the psychological dynamics of racial and economic justice, and our innate capacities for transcendence.
Each Friday, I'll share a short practical reflection that I'm pondering, in a series on the pod I like to call Playing with Light.
Too often, we think of thriving and flourishing as an individual endeavor, but both science and spirituality are showing us that we are interconnected, relational, purposeful beings, and we truly thrive with and for others.
I am so excited for this podcast. I welcome you to subscribe in your favorite podcast app today so that you can join us when we launch on January 8th.
With & For is a production of the Thrive Center at Fuller Theological Seminary.
