Chris Hanson

Chris Hanson, M.D., Th.D., is a pediatrician who has guided families through the joys and challenges of parenting for nearly thirty years. As the father of two grown daughters, his personal and professional experiences sparked a deep interest in how theology shapes parenting. This led him to earn a doctorate in theology from Northwind Theological Seminary and the Center for Open and Relational Theology. In his debut book, "Open and Relational Parenting: Loving Parents Reflecting a Loving God," he explores how our understanding of God can profoundly influence the way we nurture and guide our children. Chris continues to write and reflect on these themes through regular essays on Substack and conversations with parents.
