What are the Differences Between How the Church and Culture View Mental Health Issues w/ Dr. Knapp

Send Me Questions on Attachment

The church has a long history of addressing mental health issues and specifically doing what was called "soul care." Throughout the years, it was slowly taken over by secular counselors. In the modern era, the church has come to terms with the reality on how mental health issues are affecting the church. But, are we addressing it effectively and in a way that is still true and consistent with biblical principles? 

On today's podcast, Dr. Knapp and I discuss the differences in how Christians and culture view solutions for mental health issues. 
 
We also discuss the following topics: 

• What is psychology? 
• Existentialism - meaning, suffering, death and purpose/value
• How has the church handled mental health issues historically, 
• What does the church do better when addressing mental health issues, 
• What do modern counselors and psychologists do differently than how the church has handled them, 
• Are there pros to secular counseling? Can Christians get better with having a secular counselor? 
• The differences between Christian and secular counseling, 
• Why those differences matter, and
• How we can avoid allowing the culture to dictate to the church what healthy should look like.
