The Joy and Pain of Being Human with Kelly Kapic Ph.D.

Dr. Kelly Kapic, a professor of theology, has written over 15 books. Today he shares biblical and philosophical perspectives on humility, self-esteem, being limited, using your gifts, how efficiency can be an enemy of love, and the distinction between loving people versus liking them. Over the years, Dr. Kapic has discovered that almost all college students feel loved by their parents, but many of them do not feel liked by both parents. Beth asks him to elaborate on his conversation with Jonathan Rogers on the Habit podcast. He says it takes courage for us to “genuinely soak in the forgiveness of God and His presence and kindness, to actually believe he’s kind to us and that he ‘(as it says, in the minor prophets) ‘rejoices over us with singing’. “ he admits his own own struggles with productivity shame are ongoing, saying “ when I lay my head on the pillow at night, I don’t feel like I crushed it. There’s always so much I didn’t do.” Listen to this episode and more: neverperfect.org Follow us on instagram @neverperfectpodcast Please rate and review this podcast.
