Being Human Episode 106: The Psychology of the Incarnation
Welcome to Episode 106 of the Being Human Podcast: The Psychology of the Incarnation
This week, we’re doing something new! In this episode, taken from an introductory lecture in our new Certification, Dr. Greg offers a brief reflection on the Incarnation - God made man - and explains why it matters for more than just our spiritual life.
Discussed in this episode:
- What it means that Christ reveals man to himself;
- The importance of reflecting on Jesus as an incarnate person who had flesh and blood and a brain;
- Our tendency to overemphasize Christ’s divinity while losing a sense of his humanity;
- Jesus as the bridge between the divinity of God and our humanity;
- What it means to follow Christ and what’s required to do so;
- The uniqueness of each person and their particular mission;
- Victor Frankl’s experience and the importance of having meaning in one’s life.
