Biblical Counsel for a ChangeSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the potential integration of psychology and Christianity, emphasizing the overlapping aspects of these two realms and the need for a counselor who can address both psychological and theological issues. He raises concerns about the effectiveness and potential harm of psychotherapy, particularly without a biblical foundation. Gregg argues that true transformation comes from Christianity, not pragmatism, and questions the use of psychiatric medications, emphasizing the importance of biblical counsel and discernment in navigating mental health challenges. He concludes by critiquing the competence of some Christian counselors who have adopted psychological concepts without proper biblical grounding.
