In Pursuit Podcast
Have you ever wondered if there’s more to life? Not in a greedy, smash-and-grab kind of way, but more health, more integration, more wholeness? Each life, though singular, is made up six dimensions: the spiritual, relational, mental, physical, financial, and vocational. Many of our modern attempts at wellness fail to account for all these dimensions, worse, we end up trying to fix one part to the detriment of every other part. But there is a way to pursue wellness that leaves us integrated and whole.
Guided by the best that modern science, ancient Christian wisdom, and life experience have to offer, your host, Pastor Dion Garrett, engages in long form conversations with ordinary people, who are on this extraordinary journey. Join us as we pursue a whole life together.

In a world of grays, what's the harm of seeing things as black and white? Isn't that exactly what the world needs people of faith to be? Dr. Amy Pfeiffer, drawing from her training as a psychologist and a theologian, joins Dion in this episode to reflect on how dichotomous thinking, while seen in some circles as orthodoxy, might be harmful to us mentally and spiritually.
