It was a honor to be invited to deliver the annual Clifton L. Snidow Lecture on Christian Life and Work, hosted by the University of Lynchburg’s Spiritual Life Center. My talk was titled “You Are Not Alone: Faith, Crisis, and Mental Health.” It was recorded if you want to take a look:
I was also recently a guest on the “What the Hell is a Pastor?” podcast, which is hosted by several alum of my alma mater, Wesley Theological Seminary. We had a good conversation about pastoral ministry, chaplaincy, denominational shenanigans, and theology, and also recorded a '“mini-sode” that was more theological geekery if that’s your jam.
Coming up in October, I’ll be doing an interview with the Writing for Your Life website and then speaking to a Duke Divinity School class, and in November I’ll be doing an online workshop with the Faith Connections on Mental Illness group based in Chapel Hill.
I can’t really put into words how grateful I am for these ongoing opportunities to create conversations about mental health, faith, and story-sharing. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. As I wrote about earlier this month: “I almost missed this,” and I’m so glad I didn’t.
