Brief Description:
The Abundant Life Flourishing Program, housed in the School of Psychology and Counseling at Regent University, is committed to studying and promoting the science of Christian flourishing through integrating perspectives and methodologies in psychology and Christian theology. Emphasizing an interdisciplinary methodology, the program weaves together insights from a plethora of fields, fostering a comprehensive view of human well-being. The mission goes beyond mere academic exploration; it’s also deeply entrenched in practical applications that directly impact Christian communities.
The Abundant Life Flourishing Program engages in producing research publications and educational activities for the Regent University community. These activities include courses, seminars, conferences, and summer schools, all with the intention of fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and reflection. We aim to bring together knowledge from diverse fields and explore how psychology and different disciplines (e.g., Theology, Philosophy, Public Health) can form a coherent whole when studying and promoting the science of Christian flourishing.

Current Projects:
Health, Well-being, and Attachment to the Holy Spirit: Christianity emphasizes a close relationship with the Holy Spirit. This project examines how this spiritual attachment influences one’s psychological and emotional well-being. Through interviews, surveys, and case studies, we’re mapping out patterns and insights, bridging the gap between spirituality and mental health. Our objective is to provide Christians with tools and understanding to nurture this divine connection for improved life satisfaction.
