The Hidden Elements You Need to Build a Life That Flourishes with Dr. Warren Kinghorn

The Alli Worthington Show

I'm thrilled to be joined by the brilliant Dr. Warren Kinghorn, a renowned psychiatrist and theologian from Duke University.

In this must-listen episode, Dr. Kinghorn bridges the gap between faith and mental health. We dive into a universal struggle we all face but rarely discuss and explore how the church can better support our emotional well-being.

Warren’s Recommendations

A song Warren is loving is from the album Sanctuary Songs - Centering Prayer. The key theme is being where your feet are. The capacity to just be. He’s trying to step into that.

The TV show Warren is watching right now is Ted Lasso. It’s been so much fun to watch it. The complexity of the characters and the focus to know how to love people for who they are really is encouraging.

One book that Warren describes as rich is Christ on the Psych Ward by David Finnegan-Hosey. It’s a beautiful book about his own experience.

Another faith and mental health book Warren recommends is Dust in the Blood by Jessica Coblenz. She writes about how we can draw from Biblical examples of being in the wilderness.
