Game on, I say!

Today I begin my writing journey known as the doctoral dissertation. I want to be done as soon as possible. I know that I have need to be working on three things in my life right now: finishing a book on success in ministry, writing my dissertation, and continuing to get physically healthy. In the past couple of weeks I’ve gotten a good bit done on the book, and now starts the dissertation.

I’ve already set up an auto-responder to let people know that I may not respond quickly. I have my writing music in place and my office set up as I need it.

My thesis is that for a person to see total behavioral transformation, one must understand their identity in Christ as well as draw on the insights from neuroscience, and emotional health to address the social, emotional, and cognitive aspects of behavior. Therefore I am integrating emotional maturity, differentiation, neuroscience, and theology to develop a theology of transformational change. This will include ideas like emotional intelligence, neuroplasticity, chaos theory, differentiation and identity.

So it’s game on!
