Their conversation encourages parents to consider their spiritual lives to become more fruitful believers in the Lord—for their own sakes as well as for the good of their teenagers.  

James Lee (MA, Talbot) is a Professor at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University and also serves as a pastor in the local church. He is passionate about bridging the church and the academy by helping believers develop a biblical worldview that encourages flourishing in the faith. His interests in practical, systematic, and philosophical theology led him to research a theology of the emotions and its integration with sanctification as part of his doctoral work.
