Conversion, Indebtedness, and the Miracle of Family with Dr. Jenae Nelson

Dr. Jenae Nelson received her doctorate degree in Psychology from Brigham Young University. Jenae is a remote researcher for Baylor University and Harvard University. She studies the science of character strengths and spirituality to build resilience and well-being in teens and adults. Her research provides insight into practical tips and practices for individuals and families to become more grateful and generous. Jenae pioneered research on indebtedness (to God and humans) and how it leads to more profound conversion and religious commitment, more charitable giving, and well-being. In addition to her professional research, Jenae shares with us how her biological father found her when she was a teenager and how that connection led to a divine connection with her Heavenly Father. Jenae teaches about the power of transcendent indebtedness toward God and how gospel living is a means for overcoming obstacles, including challenges with mental health. Jenae's work has been featured in Christianity Today, BYU Magazine, Music & the Spoken Word, Meridian Magazine, and the Church News.   Show Notes More of Janae’s work and research can be found here: https://jenaemnelson.wixsite.com/jenaemnelson/blank-5 Happify: https://www.happify.com/ App for iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/happify-for-stress-worry/id730601963 App for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happify.happifyinc&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1  "My Peace I Give Unto You" by Deiter F.
