Background

About Kris Miller

I am a passionate advocate for human flourishing and the wellbeing of leaders. With over 25 years of experience as a professor, retreat leader, pastor, spiritual director, and coach I’ve dedicated my career to helping others thrive through compassionate care, theological reflection, and personal transformation. Currently, I serve as a Professor of Theology and Spirituality and Director of the Institute for Christian Spirituality at Lipscomb University. In this role, I teach and facilitate formation for future leaders spiritually and theologically, instilling in them the values and skills necessary for a flourishing life and effective leadership. I am also the Co-Founder of Vitalization Wellness, where we take a multidisciplinary approach to support multidimensional wellbeing. At Vitalization Wellness, our mission is to empower both individuals and organizations to thrive by offering holistic solutions that address the interconnected dimensions of wellness—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. We provide personalized guidance and comprehensive support to help our clients achieve lasting vitality, whether they’re looking to enhance personal wellbeing or improve organizational health. Through our tailored strategies, we aim to create a world where everyone can lead a vitalized, fulfilling life. My journey in ministry and academia has taken me through years of teaching, leading retreats for pastors, and serving as a spiritual director for senior leaders. I hold a Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from Durham University (UK), and my research is focused on the nature of knowledge in our postmodern, scientific world, including the relationship between theology and the sciences. This has informed my work on human flourishing. I guide leaders through periods of growth, healing, and renewal. When individuals are cared for in body, mind, and spirit, I believe they are empowered to live fruitful lives of purpose and impact. I am always eager to connect with others who are passionate about leadership development, personal wellbeing, and fostering environments where people can flourish. Let’s explore how we can work together to make a positive difference.
