Psychology and Spirituality – with Jonathan Stadler
Description
In this illuminating conversation, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons sits down with psychology professor and confessional Lutheran Dr. Jonathan Stadler to explore the timely intersection of faith, psychology, masculinity, and meaning. From behavioral neuroscience to the cultural impact of Jordan Peterson, from Stoicism and positive psychology to the beauty of carrying the fire in a broken world, this episode dives deep into the hopes and wounds of modern men—and how the Christian tradition can offer both healing and purpose.
Together, they explore:
The psychological power of gratitude, humility, and relational living
The role of The Road and apocalypse parenting in Christian manhood
Why Gen Z is gravitating toward tradition
The difference between faith formation and spiritual self-help
If you're navigating your own growth, longing for wholeness, or wondering what it means to be a man of faith in today’s world—this episode offers both challenge and comfort.
