In this episode of Hope for the Mind, Kristin dives deep into Erik Erikson’s influential theory of psychosocial development. Discover how the eight stages—from infancy’s struggle with trust to late adulthood’s search for integrity—map out the human quest for identity, purpose, and connection. But this isn’t just psychology; it’s a spiritual journey. Kristin explores how each stage reflects challenges and opportunities for faith, showing how God meets us in our doubts, fears, and growth moments. Whether you’re wrestling with who you are, your relationships, or your legacy, this episode offers hope and insight to guide your path toward wholeness.
