Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

WHY MEDICATION WON’T HEAL YOUR SOUL: ADDRESSING THE HEART OF MENTAL HEALTH


Listen Later

Segment 1:

• Joseph Prince promotes emotional-driven, shallow Christianity, often sidestepping the seriousness of false teaching.

• Jesus’ rebuke of the Pharisees in Matthew 23 was rooted in love, not judgment—He hated the false teachings that led people astray.

• Joseph Prince now wading into biblical counseling, but does he offer truth or a watered-down version? New book “Lies My Therapist Told Me” tackles this shift.

Segment 2:

• The rise in autism and psychotropic drug use raises questions about how mental health is being defined and treated in our society.

• Greg Gifford’s book exposes the industry’s reliance on medication, questioning the root causes and the Bible’s perspective on addressing the mind.

• A deep dive into how psychiatry was born from imperial research and its growing influence on everyday life.

Segment 3:

• Kids are being diagnosed with ADHD at increasing rates, but is this truly a disorder or just part of childhood development?

• The obsession with medicating kids with psychotropics is a response to societal impatience, not a solution to genuine mental health needs.

• Biblical counseling offers a counter-narrative, focusing on heart issues, repentance, and growth rather than instant fixes through drugs.

Segment 4:

• Medication is often used to mask symptoms, but it doesn’t address the deeper spiritual issues at play.

• The root cause of many emotional struggles, like depression, can often be traced back to unrepentant sin.

• “Lies My Therapist Told Me” challenges us to consider the difference between symptom management and real transformation through biblical counseling.
