In this first, introductory episode of the Christian Psychologist, Dr. Knabb lays the foundation for the podcast. Specifically, he offers the vision and goals for the podcast, his own personal and professional background, some preliminary considerations on the intersection between secular psychology and Christianity, including how they intersect, secular and Christian views on psychological suffering and health, and a concluding Christian practice (lectio divina) in an effort to cultivate Christian gratitude and contentment.
