MTP 24: Doug Matthews, Part 1, On Faith, Fumbles, and Finding your Purpose

Meet The Prof, with Shane & Spence

Doug is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. He discusses how to understand and embrace who God made you to be, how he discovered his passion for psychology and neuroscience, how the Christian faith intersects with psychology, the divine design in human behavior, how he candidly shares his past struggles with alcohol with his students, and how almost every profession can reflect God's glory.
