He’s even owned successful local businesses here in Minneapolis.Dan’s got a brand new book coming out entitled “Confident Humility: Becoming Your Full Self Without Becoming Full of Yourself."I invited Dan on to discuss what we might call "theological psychology" and explore how deeply intertwined one's theology and mental health can be. In particular, we take a look at the theological psychology of pride, shame, and humility, and explore how one's theological and philosophical beliefs about human nature may lead them to either oppress others or to be easily oppressed by others.You can pre-order Dan's new book published by Fortress Press here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1506451926/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thatdankent-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1506451926&linkId=56ac105e4e1cd8c863099a1d55821f04Connect with Dan Kent on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/thatdankent You can also listen to Dan regularly on Greg Boyd: Apologies & Explanations.   Consider becoming a patron by supporting Deep Talks: Exploring Theology & Meaning-Making on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/deeptalkstheologypodcast You can also listen on iTunes at:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deep-talks-exploring-theology-and-meaning-making/id1401730159 Subscribe to the Deep Talks YouTube page for exclusive video content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2yCyOMUeem-cYwliC-tLJg
