“G-Talk” is a space for soulful conversation. It’s about engaging in “G-d-Talk” that is personal, practical, embodied, and open-ended. We hope through this you will get a glimpse of the myriad ways we experience the divine intersecting with our quotidian life.
The latest G-Talk from the Rueben P. Job Institute features Dr. Brian Bantum, Neal F. and Ila A. Fisher Professor of Theology at Garrett, Bantum is an accomplished theologian who writes on the intersection of theology and identity, exploring how the claims of Christian identity are illumined and challenged by the realities of race, ethnicity, and gender.
Dr. Rolf Nolasco is the Rueben P. Job Professor of Spiritual Formation and Pastoral Theology at Garrett-Evangelical and director of the Rueben P. Job Institute for Spiritual Formation. He is an experienced professor, trained in pastoral and counseling psychology, mindfulness and contemplative spirituality, and affective neuroscience. Nolasco is also a psychotherapist, published author, and has vast experience in cross cultural communications from living and working across the world within varying social and cultural backgrounds.
