The Psychological and Psychotherapeutic - A Substitute Spiritual Paradigm

Spiritual Discernment on the Psychological and Psychotherapeutic Paradigms

The worldviews we hold limit how we deal with the trials and difficulties we face in life. For many, the psychological helping fields hold a promise for healing, growth and recovery but is it wise for those whoʻve put their faith in the salvation of Jesus Christ to trust this promise?

Since finding God and the salvation of Jesus Christ, God showed me how my previous thinking/training in psychology, psychotherapies and related healing professions actually stopped me from finding the peace and help God wanted to give me Himself.

Ultimately, human perspectives are always limited. We need Godʻs omniscient input, always validated in the Bible, to deal with life issues affecting body, soul and spirit in a holistic way. Without Godʻs word acting in our life, we donʻt truly see the truth and only the truth frees us.

Many people more educated than myself and a lot further in their walk with God have created helpful resources about how believers and leaders of faith are being seduced and led astray by occult practices and Holy God-denying paradigms in and of the psychological/psychotherapeutic fields. A lot of new age/occult practices are also creeping into medical practice and becoming completely normalized.

Hereʻs a small selection of videos on the subject by "The Berean Call". Their resources are worth checking out. If youʻd like more specific links, please do send me a message.
