Show Notes

• Coming January 8, 2024 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.
• About Dr. Pam King: "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.
• Obstacles to spiritual health

• Epidemic of loneliness, relational strains, and a misleading culture of self reliance
• Crisis of purpose and vocation, and the meaning of work
• "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."
• "With & For is my invitation to pursue thriving through relational connection: who we're with. And through purpose: what we're for."
• Weaving scientific insight with spiritual wisdom
• Concrete practices that keep us on the path towards spiritual health and thriving
