What could it look like to follow Jesus not only after the
pain ends, but right in the midst of it? In this conversation,
tenured psychology professor, author, and pastor Dr. Joshua Knabb
helps us rethink the way we understand distress, challenging the
modern tendency to pathologize every struggle. We explore the
difference between pain and disorder, and why recognizing that
distinction can open the door to greater agency, deeper compassion,
and more grounded spiritual formation.
Together we also look at the contemplative practices that build
resilience and intimacy with God: why they matter, what gets in the
way, and how to start. Dr. Knabb shares his favorite go-to
spiritual practice that help people meet Jesus right where they
are, and why it's helpful. You’ll hear how engaging these practices
can transform not only your connection with God, but also the way
you show up in relationships with others. This episode will show
you how psychology and discipleship are connected in following
Jesus.
