Applied Psychology for Ministry

In April 2023, The John Templeton Foundation gathered a group of researchers and project leaders at a Psychology for Ministry Summit hosted and facilitated by Blueprint 1543. Science researchers, ministers, and thought leaders gathered to discuss their efforts to integrate the tools of psychological science to these contexts. Over the course of a few days, these experts shared about how they have made a meaningful difference in people’s lives through their work, as well as some of their biggest challenges.

Additionally, we had the opportunity to interview some of these folks to highlight some of the good work that they are doing. Here you can view the ten video interviews in our Psychology for Ministry Series.

An exciting introduction to what the Applied Psychology for Ministry Summit was all about and why this particular group of people was brought together.

The first interview in the Psychology for Ministry series features Dr. Roger Bretherton, offering a glimpse into the compelling content you can expect from the Psychology for Ministry series.

Good events—ones that bring about measurable progress, value the contributors, and are a joy to be part of—require purposeful design. But in the hurry of life, and in the face of very real deadlines, it is easy to revert to what you’ve experienced previously. It is tempting to simply replicate what you have seen done before without pausing to consider the aims of either that event or the one you are planning. We want to help you do better.”
