We exist to help people do a better job asking and answering life’s big questions. We use the sciences to accelerate excellent contributions from Christians to life’s biggest questions. Season 1 comes from our TheoPsych initiative, which explores what new insights concerning human nature may be discovered when theology and psychological science are brought together? TheoPsych is an initiative that supports science-engaged theology, to discover how psychological science could help serve our theological research.
