Rev. Dr. Pamela (Pam) King hosts ‘With & For’, a podcast that explores the depths of psychological science and spiritual wisdom. The podcast offers practical guidance toward spiritual health, wholeness, and thriving. She is also the Executive Director of the Thrive Center and the Peter L. Benson Professor of Applied Developmental Science in the School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary. Pam co-authored The Reciprocating Self: Human Development in Theological Perspective and Thriving with Stone Age Minds and is co-editor of The Handbook of Spiritual Development in Childhood and Adolescence.

In this episode, Nada sits down with Pam to discuss her work at the THRIVE Center, where the science of psychology and the practice of spirituality collide. Pam desires to catalyze a movement of human thriving through research and resource development. To help us get there, she explains the three pillars of thriving and how they get reassessed in mid-life.
