My Faithwalking Journey Podcast

About Dr. Chuck Degroat: "I am Associate Professor of Counseling and Pastoral Care at Western Theological Seminary Holland MI, and Co-Founder and a Senior Fellow at Newbigin House of Studies, San Francisco. I’ve spent the last 15 years in a fluid combination of pastoral ministry, seminary teaching, and clinical counseling.  I write mostly about the intersections of psychology, theology, and Christian spirituality. Most recently, I was a teaching pastor at City Church San Francisco, where I co-founded Newbigin House of Studies, an urban and missional training center with M.Div. and M.A. offerings through Western Theological Seminary, MI.  I’ve started two church counseling centers, a Lay Counseling Program further developed by my City Church colleagues, and a Fellows program.  All of this represents my commitment to formation for mission."
