The Psychology Cross-Training for Theologians podcast is a seven-episode series designed specifically to provide evidence-based insights to religious practitioners such as priests, pastors, chaplains, spiritual directors, and community leaders.

The seven episodes explore:

  • Episode 1 – Ageing as a liminal experience in theological and psychological terms
  • Episode 2 – Moral injury, spiritual damage, and abuse in Catholic ecclesial contexts
  • Episode 3 – God and self-representations among Christians with intellectual disabilities
  • Episode 4 – Necessary interdisciplinary reflections on racism in the Church of England, informed by psychological research
  • Episode 5 – Associations between perceptions of God’s “where-being” (transcendent, immanent, or indwelling) and contemplative prayer practices
  • Episode 6 – Patient and chaplain perspectives on the success of spiritual care visits
  • Episode 7 – The social impacts of listening in community settings (coming soon)

Each conversation brings current psychological research into practical dialogue with theological and pastoral questions.
