SPEAKING
I hold degrees in Psychology from both The University of Southern California and
Fuller Theological Seminary. I research and speak on topics at the intersection of faith
and psychology including health, relationships, soul care, mentoring, parenting
and spiritual formation. I speak topically but am also trained in exegetical
teaching through scripture. Although I have a soft spot for MOPS, you can
also find me speaking at conferences, retreats, church services and parenting seminars.

PRACTICING PRESENCE WITH GOD AND EACH OTHER
https://alysonpryor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/My-Movie-5.mp4This two-minute blurb explores the effect our culture’s dwindling attention spans have on our ability to practice presence with God and each other. I’m crying because I’m speaking to a congregation of people who have experienced a lot of suffering, and also because crying is my spiritual gifting.
