The Christian Call to Be
Salt and Light

(No Matter Our Societal Moment)

CURRENT PROGRAM: August 1, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: AUGUST 01, 2026

GUEST: GREG GIFFORD, author, Lies My Therapist Told Me

The statistics are staggering: one in five people in America have been diagnosed with a “mental illness.” One in six people are taking powerful psychotropic medications, such as anti-depressants, anti-anxieties, and stimulants. Many Christians have been trapped in the vortex of the “mental health industry” as well.

And here’s the troubling part in the majority of the cases: wrong diagnoses lead to wrong and harmful treatments.

Our guest this weekend is Greg Gifford. He is the chair of the School of Biblical Studies at The Master’s University, a fellow at the Fortis Institute, and author of the compelling new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me: Why Christians Should Aim for More Than Just Treating Symptoms

He will explain the important distinction between the immaterial mind and the material brain and how God’s Word is all-sufficient to renew the mind to think and live for God’s glory.

From beloved Christian counselor, professor, and podcaster Greg Gifford comes a bold critique of the mental health establishment. Therapy can backfire and fail, but Christ offers more.
