Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

BIBLICAL COUNSELING IN CRISIS! WHY THE SUFFICIENCY OF SCRIPTURE IS UNDER FIRE


Listen Later

Segment 1:

• Biblical Unity at Stake: Jesus calls for unity, but the sufficiency of Scripture in counseling is being challenged.

• Common Grace vs. Biblical Authority: Should secular techniques, like “clinically informed” methods, influence Christian counseling?

• Why This Matters: The Bible is sufficient—do we need anything else to address emotional struggles?

Segment 2:

• The Divide: Some biblical counselors disagree on whether secular techniques can coexist with Scripture.

• Heretics or Differences of Opinion?: How should we view those who reject the sufficiency statement?

• Practical Help: Is snapping a rubber band or practicing yoga biblically valid for someone struggling with depression?

Segment 3:

• Biblical Counseling’s Core: Secular psychology sees people through a lens opposed to biblical truth—can it really help?

• Common Grace Explained: Secular techniques may offer symptom relief, but true healing comes from God’s Word.

• The Takeaway: The Bible provides authoritative, life-changing answers that surpass human wisdom.

Segment 4:

• Family Dynamics: Forgiving your parents and being a great child can change the atmosphere in your home.

• A Merry Christmas Reset: Skip “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” and embrace the majesty of Handel’s Messiah.

• What’s in it for You: Worship music like Messiah elevates your spirit, bringing joy and peace to the season.
