When we start with a biblical worldview of who we are, we come to radically different interpretations of why we experience certain thoughts, behaviors, or desires. This episode takes the foundation we laid in Episode 93 to help us better understand the problems that psychologists insist are purely natural.
This will be a difficult episode for some people to hear. Be sure not to make hasty judgments on one way or another. Instead, consider everything, digest it slowly, surrender to God the things you want to be true, and from there evaluate what kind of worldview lines up better with your understanding of mental health. If you realize you need to adopt a more biblical understanding, let this episode be a resource that you can return to as you allow God to align your thinking with what is true.

In this episode, I discuss how we understand human beings and what they experience. The assumptions we make and worldview we hold will determine how we view our mental health, the problems we face, and how we interpret what they are and why they happen.

Psychology promises us freedom from something. But can something based on a secular worldview ever hope to care for our souls? This episode takes an honest look at what good psychology offers, where it turns our focus, and why Christians may need to make a difficult choice about where they turn.

Can we really blend psychology with Christianity when they both start from very different assumptions about the world? In this episode I look at what psychology believes, how that affects who psychologists interpret information, and how that impacts the solutions they offer.

Christians know we suffer more than just physically. But does that mean we should see a psychologist for our minds the same way we'd see a doctor for our bodies? This episode lays a foundation for a lengthy discussion about whether psychology and Christianity are compatible. I discuss why it's important for Christians to think about this, share my experiences, and end with an overview of what psychology actually is and what psychologists want to do for their patients.

"I want to grow in wisdom, but I'm just not smart enough." This is a statement too many Christians have said, and in this episode I want to do away with this kind of thinking. Wisdom and intelligence are different, and understanding that removes a barrier that keeps us from growing closer to God.

An important character in the story of Christ's resurrection is often accused of being a former prostitute. This episode looks at what the Bible really tells us about Mary Magdalene, as well as how long-standing traditions can warp how we read God's word.

Just because baptism isn't required for salvation doesn't mean it's not expected after salvation. There are many Christians who haven't yet been baptized, yet God's word has no hint that baptism is meant to be done months, or even years, after someone is saved. This episode looks at three common reasons a Christian hasn't been baptized and challenges listeners to walk in obedience to what God expects His children to do.

No one gets excited about being tempted to sin. However, we often approach it with the idea that we just need to survive long enough to resist it. Sometimes we succeed, oftentimes we don’t. However, when the temptation passes, we know it won't be long before it returns.
In this episode, I discuss what temptation is, where it comes from, and how we can be thankful for it when we let it drive us closer to Jesus Christ.
