Outro
Hosts share resources, links, and closing remarks including Living Systems and Matt's Change Room work.
Today’s episode looks at religion and relationships. We are diving into a hot topic and seeing how Bowen family systems theory is a resource to thinking about and observing religion and how people function around religion - within and between religious communities. Matt Steele joins us to share his thinking and experience on the topic.

Matt is also an ordained Anglican minister and worked in a range of church ministry roles before shifting into his current work.
