In this 36th episode, Dr. Knabb explores mental and spiritual well-being in both secular psychology and Christianity. First, he discusses both short-term (hedonic) and long-term (eudaimonic) well-being, along with a spiritual type of well being, in the secular psychology literature. Then, he explores a parallel concept, peace, in Christianity. To conclude, he offers a short practice, centering prayer, to help Christians practice God's presence and a greater awareness of God's peace, because Christians are a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.
