Introduction

Can we move from just surviving to thriving? Why do we always feel so out of sorts with the world? How does human nature (biology) and niche construction (culture) work together (or not)?

Perhaps instead of opposing human "being" and "doing", a focus human "becoming" can help us understand the biological and cultural aspects of discipleship.

This is what we are talking about with Dr. Justin L. Barrett. He previously held positions at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology as Professor of Psychology, as well as the Thrive Center for Human Development prior to that.  And most recently he has written Thriving with Stone Age Minds: Evolutionary Psychology, Christian Faith, and the Quest for Human Flourishing.
