Episode 40: Psychological Flexibility
In this 40th episode, Dr. Knabb discusses psychological flexibility from both secular psychological and Christian perspectives. He begins by exploring being open, centered, and engaged as key components of psychological flexibility, then offers a Christian alternative: shifting from earthly- to spiritual-mindedness. Finally, he leads listeners through a short practice to cultivate psychological flexibility from a Christian perspective.
