130 | Renewal Conversation: Threads of Creativity, IFS and Growth in Christ - Joel Klepac Interview

If you are interested in looking at the creative process as part of your Regeneration and Self-care, plus learn more about IFS (Internal Family Systems) from a professional who practices it (and wrote about it), then this Renewal Conversation episode is for you!

I had the honor to interview again Joel Klepac LMFT-S, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, College Counselor, Artist and Writer.

In this episode, we explore Family Systems AND Internal Family Systems theories, alongside with many nuggets of wisdom (including how our attachment styles intersect with our relationship with God and church!)

Joel shares about his recent book touching on themes of suffering, growth in Christ, and hope through the lens of the art of Georges Rouault and IFS, so you won't want to miss it this episode.

Discover Joel's creative process, how he taps into a contemplative state for writing his book, and how art serves as a safe space for him to process his experiences. Click PLAY NOW.
