White Horse Inn: Conversational Theology

The Theology of Brené Brown and Therapeutic Techniques

What is the theology of Brené Brown? And why have so many people replaced pastors and priests with therapists and psychologists? Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller discuss the popular teachings of researcher and professor, Brené Brown. Dr. Brown’s podcasts, TED Talks, and books have been consumed by millions of people. The hosts try to identify what kind of theology is implicit in her teachings and why her work resonates with people around the world.
