In support of his new book, "Lies My Therapist Told Me", Dr. Greg Gifford joins Todd Friel today for a special Wretched Radio episode. "Lies My Therapist Told Me" is available for purchase today! Segment 1: • 1 in 4 Americans are labeled with mental illness—without blood tests or brain scans. • Psychiatry is built on subjective symptoms, not scientific evidence. • SSRIs are prescribed as a shot in the dark, despite unclear causes or outcomes. Segment 2: • Scripture defines the mind as spiritual; the brain is physical—a crucial distinction. • Secular therapy targets the brain, but only God’s Word renews the mind (Romans 12:2). • Outsourcing soul care to unbelievers denies biblical anthropology and gospel hope. Segment 3: • ADHD is often diagnosed to explain immaturity or secure school funding—not science. • Written evaluations, not lab tests, lead to life-altering labels and medications. • Ask hard questions: Is your child undisciplined, or just not designed for 6-hour desks? Segment 4: • Lies My Therapist Told Me stays boldly biblical—even with a secular publisher. • The real solution to mental pain isn’t treatment—it’s transformation through salvation. • You’re not broken beyond repair—Christ frees you from sin, shame, and bad labels. – Order the new book, "Lies My Therapist Told Me", by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!
