Roe v. Wade has been overturned. There's a lot we could discuss about what it means and what we should do next. This episode is a collection of my own thoughts for Christians to consider as they engage with others, think about what limited abortions mean for the church, and how we can continue on in a country where millions of babies now have a chance to live.

We finish our series on Christians & Psychology by answering the most important question - What, or who, is the answer to our problems? Once we've properly interpreted our problems, it's important to seek a solution that will address the root issues we face. Jesus is that answer, but not in a lazy, "Pray more to feel better" way. Jesus is the ultimate solution to everything related to our sin, whether it's clearing our guilt before God or cleansing us from a prideful and idolatrous heart by setting our focus on Him.

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.
