Is There Tension Between Faith and Psychology?

Psychology can sometimes be a tricky topic, especially within the church. The practice of psychology–or any form of therapy, really–is often seen as taboo; something to avoid because it might not align with our faith. So isn’t going to a professional for our problems suggesting that God isn’t enough? Does seeing a psychologist–especially one who might not be a Christian–go against our faith? Can the two go hand in hand? In this episode, we’re chatting with Chris–a familiar voice here at Anxious Faith. Previously, Chris has shared with us his own journey with depression (listen to that episode here), and how visits to a psychologist were a key part of helping him through it. -- Read the blog post to accompany this episode called, ‘If Jesus Is Enough, Why Would I Need Psychology?’ -- Anxious Faith website Follow us on Instagram Follow us on TikTok Subscribe on Youtube Support Anxious Faith -- Anxious Faith is a production of Our Daily Bread Ministries.
