Join us as we unpack the three key rebellions in the Old Testament—Genesis 3, Genesis 6, and the Tower of Babel—and explore their lasting impact on our spiritual landscape. We discuss how these events introduced sin, corrupted humanity, and led nations astray, making sense of the concept of territorial spirits and their influence on human affairs today.

  • Ep. 17 - What is Our Critique of John MacArthur's Take on Mental Health?
    Jun 4 2024

    Send Us Topics + Questions

    Can mental health issues such as PTSD and ADHD be solely attributed to emotional or spiritual struggles? Get ready for a thought-provoking discussion as we unpack John MacArthur's controversial comments on these conditions. With clips of his initial statements and subsequent clarifications, we critically analyze his view that these issues stem from grief and survival guilt rather than physiological factors. While we respect MacArthur's ministry, we delve into the complexities of integrating spiritual and psychological approaches to mental health, shedding light on the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model and modern research on trauma and neuroplasticity.

    We explore the generational divide in mental health perspectives, contrasting the older generation's "tough it out" mentality with the younger generation's approach. Using historical context and references to ancient physicians like Galen, we lay the groundwork for a future series on psychotropics and their role in treating PTSD. Our discussion emphasizes the multifaceted nature of trauma, manifesting in responses such as fight, flight, or freeze, and the shame and stigma survivors often face. By challenging the notion that PTSD is merely unprocessed grief, we underscore the necessity of creating a sense of safety for trauma clients and the importance of addressing both emotional and physical responses before effective therapy can be implemented.

    Our episode also delves into the debates surrounding medication for PTSD and other mental health conditions. We highlight the varied needs of individuals, the potential over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, and the importance of a well-regulated counselor in helping clients learn self-regulation. The conversation emphasizes the legitimacy of seeking medical and mental health professionals for healing, stressing that while God can heal miraculously, He often works through His people. Finally, we reflect on the possibility of respectfully disagreeing with someone we deeply respect, using John MacArthur as a case in point, and setting an example of informed and respectful discourse. Tune in for an insightful discussion on faith, mental health, and the journey to healing.
