Her "trinitarian reflections" will help students and practictioners create new pathways between theology and therapy.
Inside the Leader's Head
Right relationships begin with the leader's spiritual maturity. For better and worse, the church is the family of God; and as families, congregations are also susceptible to the glories and dysfunctions of family living. Some church family members can even sap the strength and drain the life from the leader's soul. When pastors reel from wave after wave of real and perceived pressures, the church family is set adrift with no firm foothold. Using a system framework, this book will show leaders ways they can develop spiritual, emotional, and relational stamina so that they can better minister to the family of God and help them walk through the inevitable dark valleys and continue to grow close...

Science and religion are living, organic, and creative traditions. Both see humans as profoundly interconnected and in some way responsible for our environs. This worldview is especially true for social science and Wesleyan religious tradition. While the dance between science and religion will always be complex, it can also be enjoyable and mutually satisfying. However when couples dance only one at a time can lead and both have to acknowledge the importance of the other. This book is written with the conviction that theology and science can have a beneficial relationship if only both recognize their mutual value to the lives of persons. The Methodist tradition links the welfare of the body ...
Prison Life and the Aftermath of Thug Living
While COVID-19 affected the world, the prison population was equally impacted. Three thousand incarcerated men at the beginning of the pandemic were exposed to the virus. With an increasing number of individuals in custody hospitalized and others placed in quarantine, individuals in custody felt little attention was given to their survival and spiritual care during incarceration. Therefore, this study highlights what pastoral care should resemble for chaplains working in prison through the critical lens and assessment of formally incarcerated citizens. Furthermore, this work reflects on their experiences with chaplains and reconstructs how chaplaincy provides care. Damien Davis utilizes qualitative data, interviews/questions, observations, and storytelling to measure his results. This thesis ministry project offered a trauma-informed pastoral care model through a framework known as the 3 Cs for chaplains, who, in the end, became more educated, informed, and equipped to meet the needs of the incarcerated.
