Should Christians Trust Therapy?

Описание: Why do some Christians feel uneasy about the word therapy?

Is psychology opposed to faith?
And should Christians ever see a non-Christian counselor?

In this ongoing conversation, we explore why many believers feel cautious about secular psychology — and how to think about it wisely.

In this video, we discuss:
• Why some Christians react negatively to the word “therapy”
• How psychology often attempts to explain human problems apart from God
• Whether a Christian should ever see a non-Christian psychologist
• When specialized care may require broader options
• The concept of “common grace”
• How to sift all counsel through a biblical worldview
• The idea of “spoiling the Egyptians” — taking what is useful and discarding what is not

Not all secular psychology is hostile to faith. In fact, many psychological theories contain observations about human behavior that overlap with biblical truth. As Christians, we believe all truth is God’s truth — but that truth must always be filtered through Scripture.

Discernment is key.

The goal is not fear of the world.
The goal is wisdom shaped by Christ.

If you’ve ever wrestled with whether Christians should engage secular psychology, this conversation may help you think more clearly and biblically.
