Her Horizon

Jesus and the Brain—Are Christianity and Psychology Connected?


Listen Later

Psychology and Jesus... For some reason, people act like you have to pick a side: either you pray harder or you go to therapy. But what if they were never meant to compete?

In this solo episode, I'm sharing how faith and psychology actually work together to bring real healing, not just behavior change, but heart transformation.

Here's what we'll dive into:

  • The comment that sparked this whole conversation (and why it got me thinking)

  • How psychology explains the how of change, but Jesus heals the why

  • Why studying the brain has strengthened my faith, not weakened it

  • The difference between behavior modification and spiritual transformation

  • What "renewing your mind" really means, and how it's both science and scripture

  • Why Christians should actually care about psychology

  • How understanding your mind helps you partner with God in your healing

If you've ever felt torn between trusting God and taking care of your mental health, this one's for you!
