In the forty-second episode of the third season of the “Saturdays at Seven” conversation series, Todd Ream talks with Pamela Ebstyne King, the Peter L. Benson Professor of Applied Developmental Science and Executive Director of the Thrive Center for Human Development at Fuller Theological Seminary. King begins by differentiating between flourishing and thriving, terms that are now common in academic and ecclesial circles. King explains the differences between the two terms, the ways their use became more prominent in the literature and in practice, and why she and her colleagues use the term thriving. King then explores the contours of her own vocational formation beginning with the influence of her family, the years she spent at Stanford University, and then the years she spent at Fuller, initially as a student but then as a faculty member and now also as an administrator. Those influences wove their way into the articles and books she published, the manner in which she sought to encourage students, and the discernment process in which she engaged when determining whether to accept an appointment as the leader of the Thrive Center. King concludes by offering insights into how developmental psychologists, clergypersons, and lay leaders can work together in the years to come to increase the capacities of Christ’s body to be a catalyst for human thriving.
