Can the Gospel Transform Therapy?

In this episode of Don’t Knock It, I sit down to explore the intersection of faith and family dynamics. Can biblical wisdom and modern psychology work together to bring healing to relationships? Or are they, as many assume, in conflict with one another?

Our guest this week, Steven Hobbs, brings both professional expertise and a deep commitment to the Gospel into this discussion. As President of Thriving Families, with an MS in Counseling Psychology and an MA in Theology, Steven is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has spent years helping individuals and families navigate relational challenges with both biblical truth and clinical wisdom.

Throughout this episode, Steven addresses common misconceptions about therapy within the Church, explains how faith and psychology can work together to bring lasting healing, and shares how a biblical understanding of grace, forgiveness, and emotional health can transform families and communities.

If you’ve ever wrestled with whether therapy is compatible with Christianity, or if you’ve wondered how biblical truth applies to emotional and relational struggles, this episode is for you.
