On this episode we welcome ⁠Sammy Chaves, who is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Fuller Psychological and Family Services (https://fpfs.org/therapist/sammy-chav.... Sammy grew up in Colombia, Uruguay, and the United States, and brings a rich diversity to his work, and into this conversation. He is bilingual both in that he speaks Spanish and English, but also in the sense of what my mentor and ⁠Fuller professor Ray Anderson⁠ used to discuss -- bilingual in one's ability to integrate theology and psychology into theory and practice -- that is, into praxis.


We enjoyed getting to talk about his experience growing up, and the journey to therapy, and into ⁠Restoration Therapy (https://www.restorationtherapytrainin.... We also had a rich discussion on vocation. Thanks for the conversation Sammy, and thanks for being a part of this amazing RT community.
