Family Relationships - With Guest Co-Host Katie - 039

Dec 1, 2015

A fourth voice, Katie, joins our conversation on family relationships.  Specifically family systems theory and internal family systems theory.  Katie, M.Div., M.S.W., has served as the Director of Children and Youth Ministries at Fourth Presbyterian Church in South Boston since 2013.  Prior to serving at Fourth, she worked as a community organizer with the Greater Boston Interfaith Organzation (GBIO).  Katie received her M.Div. and M.S.W. from Boston University, and was inspired to pursue the dual degrees out of her summers working with Appalachia Service Project, a nonprofit that strives to eradicate substandard housing in Central Appalachia.  Katie helps the team discuss family relationships.  We close out this weeks episode with a round of Jesus Juke.
