Therapy culture (not therapy itself) has gotten way out of hand. Too many of life's normal vicissitudes are treated as mental illnesses. How do we avoid the extremes of medicalizing morality or moralizing medicine? How's a pastor to navigate this issue? Matthew Loftus, M.D., joins Derek, James, and Brad to discuss this sticky, hot-topic issue.

Derek, James, Brad, and Alistair discuss the major and minor figures of the very influential Yale School in post-liberal theology. These are the voices that called for the church to speak in its native language and not to accommodate to the culture. Is their influence over, or does their voice yet speak?
