Are you interested in writing for Therapy and Theology Blog?  

​

As a community of bloggers, we are excited to hear and give a platform to new voices.  Our readership is as varied as our writers—we each have our own developing interests—though readers seem to share an interest in Christian faith, culture, and mental health.

What are we looking for?

 

​

Our blogposts tend to be between 300-1000 words in length.  We understand that Christians have distinct and sometimes competing beliefs—for example, one might believe in practicing infant baptism while another believes in adult baptism.  We don’t shy away from speaking about things that make us distinct, but we do it with respect and a spirit of ecumenism.  Those in a counseling practice have distinctions, too—maybe some prefer non-directive counseling while others actively challenge their clients.  Again, we don’t shy away from things that might cause another person to disagree, but we do try to write with respect.  

 

If there is a rule, it’s this: make it matter.  Tell us why this topic is important, tell us concretely where it is seen in people’s lives, and help us by shedding some light on it or by giving some practical suggestions.  Do single mothers experience stress?  What are the biggest barriers to forgiveness?  What if holding true to your faith feels harder on the other side of college?  Can a Christian be depressed?
