More Christ Episode Eight: Fr. Dn. Stephen Muse: Orthodox Psychology, Dia-Logos and the Dangers of Ideology?

Welcome to More Christ, where we seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions.  In this eighth episode in a series of discussions, I'm joined by the magnificent Orthodox psychologist, Fr. Dn. Stephen Muse of Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church in Georgia, USA.  Fr Dn Stephen, PhD is a pastoral psychotherapist, CPE supervisor and marriage and family therapist who directs the Clergy-in-Kairos program at Pastoral Institute in Columbus, Georgia. This is a personalized week-long crisis intervention and intensive retreat for clergy (and spouse) renewal.  He is a gifted speaker and the author of many books, including When Hearts Become Flame:  An Eastern Approach to the Dia-Logos of Pastoral Counselling and Treasure in Earthen Vessels: Prayer and the Embodied Life. He has also written a number of books for children, such as Isha’s Voice and The Peddler and the Disenchanted Mirror.   Fr. Dn. Stephen has a blog at the church website, seen below: http://orthodoxcolumbus.org/blog/.  You can also listen to him at Ancient Faith Ministries, read his articles at academia.edu and purchase his books on Amazon:
