Today I’m joined by Kenneth I. Pargament (Professor at Bowling Green State University) and Julie J. Exline (Professor at Case Western Reserve University), two prominent researchers in psychology of religion, to talk about their research on “spiritual struggles.” Where does this research overlap with the “deconstruction” movement? With spiritual abuse and religious trauma? Are spiritual struggles part of a full and healthy life of faith? How common are they?Working with Spiritual Struggles in Psychotherapy Book: https://www.amazon.com/Working-Spiritual-Struggles-Psychotherapy-Research/dp/1462524311Kenneth's Author Page: https://www.guilford.com/author/Kenneth-I-PargamentJulia's Author Page: https://www.guilford.com/author/Julie-J-ExlineFollow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/
