In this episode, Oliver is joined by Torben, a psychiatrist from Norway, and Julia, a high school teacher, mother, and CBT counselor from Austria. Together, we explore how narratives shape personal and communal identity, drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, and theology. The conversation delves into the formative power of memory, its connection to trauma and healing, and how we can become intentional agents in reshaping the stories we live by—for the sake of personal growth, relational depth, and spiritual orientation.

In this podcast, we engage in free-ranging conversations about life, faith, philosophy, ethics, relationships, culture, experience, and all matters existential. As the show’s title suggests, we approach these topics “in the middle of things”—grabbing hold of them unsystematically and provisionally. As for who we are: we are friends, verbal sparring partners, and colleagues at Andrews University. - Oliver Glanz and Ante Jerončič
