How to Disagree Without Losing Your Mind (on the That’ll Preach Podcast)

I was recently invited onto the That’ll Preach Podcast to discuss ways to reform our discourse. Take a listen!

Resisting Therapy Culture — with Matthew Loftus That’ll Preach

Therapeutic language now shapes how we see almost everything — including the church. Increasingly, congregations and their leaders are judged by standards of psychological wellness rather than biblical faithfulness. In this episode, Matthew Loftus joins us to talk about his book Resisting Therapy Culture: The Dangers of Pop Psychology and How the Church Can Respond. He argues that therapy and church do good but different work, and that confusing the two shortchanges both — churches should be places of healing and love, but their calling is to gather people to worship God, not to replace clinical care. We talk about what a healthy church/therapy relationship looks like, why the roles shouldn't blur, and what it means for leaders to refocus on their actual mission.

Faced with our challenge of remaining faithful within and addressing our various contemporary societal crises with wisdom, Christians and churches are fracturing over our differing approaches and postures. My friend Ben Miller suggested that we have a series of conversations, to help us to pursue greater clarity on the principles, virtues, duties, and practices that can equip Christians to meet such difficult times with prudence, insight, and courage.
