Theology Mom || All The Things

I continue my conversation with Christian counselor Dr. David King about Greg Gifford’s book, Lies My Therapist Told Me. We explore the book’s most contested claims. We press Gifford’s sharp line between mind and brain, and ask whether anxiety is always a sin. The goal is not to dismiss biblical counseling, but to ask how Christians can keep a biblical view of the person without flattening the complexities of suffering.

Monique and Krista sit down with Bryan Crain, president of the Orange County Rescue Mission, to make sense of homelessness through a Christian worldview. They unpack competing approaches to talking chronic homelessness in places like San Francisco, Seattle, and Los Angeles vs. Santa Ana.

Sunday Night Potluck... my weekly unscripted livestream

In the first segment, I talk about the importance of aligning our speech with Scripture to build up rather than tear down your marriage. In the second segment, I also share concerns about the cultural shift regarding how we handle conflict. Moving away from the tradition of keeping problems within the home, many now feel pressured to share grievances publicly.

I sit down with Christian counselor, Dr. David King, to discuss Greg Gifford’s popular book Lies My Therapist Told Me and Gifford's approach to biblical counseling. In this episode, we discuss the places we agree with Gifford. Together we explore why counselors bring a vision of the human person into the room, why truth and holiness cannot be replaced by mere symptom relief, and why a biblical view of the mind, sin, and suffering still matters for Christian care.
