MFJP 14: A conversation with Dr. Chuck Degroat author of Wholeheartedness Exploring spiritual formation, personal transformation, and wholeheartedness
I’ve spent the last 15 years in a fluid combination of pastoral ministry, seminary teaching, and clinical counseling. I write mostly about the intersections of psychology, theology, and Christian spirituality.
Most recently, I was a teaching pastor at City Church San Francisco, where I co-founded Newbigin House of Studies, an urban and missional training center with M.Div. and M.A. offerings through Western Theological Seminary, MI. I’ve started two church counseling centers, a Lay Counseling Program further developed by my City Church colleagues, and a Fellows program. All of this represents my commitment to formation for mission.”

Addicted to a White Man’s View of the World
I’m doing a series of podcasts with Trisha Taylor on men and women working together. I believe that many of us have a way of thinking about relationships between men and women that is a systemic cause for so many of the challenges we face, and I’m standing for a different way.
Today I’ve been re-reading some of Anne Wilson Schaef’s work. She is the author of several books including, The Addictive Organization: Why We Overwork, Cover Up, Pick Up the Pieces, Please the Boss, and Perpetuate Sick Organizations. Her research suggests that the overwhelming majority of men (and many women as well) in our society are addicted to a way of thinking, feeling and acting that systemically entraps them without their realizing it, in much the same way that alcohol, nicotine or other drug addictions subtly but securely ensnare their victims.

MFJP 09: What is God’s Design for Men and Women as They Work Together? A Series about Men and Women with Trisha Taylor - Part 1
For nearly 15 years Trisha and I have worked together closely to equip people to live missionally. We have written a book, developed materials for training pastors and congregational leaders, and have traveled together to cities across the country to implement the training.
We both hold deep convictions that the relationships between men and women present one of the systemic challenges that we face in our families and communities. We believe It is in the design of God for men and women to collaborate as equals in the missional life. As we have worked here in Houston and in congregations across the country, we are frequently asked about our beliefs and practices related to working together as an unmarried couple.
We’ve recently decided to do this series of five podcasts that address the questions and concerns that we have heard expressed by people in a wide variety of settings. In this episode, we address the question, “What is God’s design for men and women as they work together?”
