Who teaches this course?
Dr. David B. Carolan David helps people discover joy while conducting research on how joy helps catalyze spiritual formation and discipleship.
His research and teaching on joy (and rejoicing) are based upon the biblical record and its terms, Christian history, writings of theologians, and neuroscience and its proof of biblical accuracy.
He leverages his years of pastoral care situations deploying the Life/Maturity and Intimacy Counseling Models and almost 30 years in executive leadership and coaching. As a pastor and advisor, he provides insights into how love and joy are two priorities of God for Christian flourishing.
