What this episode covers
In this 20th episode, Dr. Knabb discusses the topic of mentalization, or understanding the mental states of ourselves and others. Specifically, he explores a secular psychological understanding of the topic, before pivoting toward a biblical view, in order to help 21st century Christ followers cultivate psychological and spiritual health. To conclude, a psychological and spiritual exercise is offered to help improve the ability to mentalize and, in turn, be more like Jesus Christ.
