13: God & Therapy
/Why do I need therapy if I have God?
A great question… attempted to be answered in this podcast episode.
A quick hit answer: you have a series of hurts you’ve encountered over your lifetime. (None of that is your fault, by the way). Those hurts have burrowed down in your heart.
(Told you it was a quick answer!)
If you or someone you know wonders, What’s the point of therapy if I read my Bible and talk to God everyday?, then this episode is for you/them. A couple stories, a couple good illustrations, a great case made for why therapy is for everyone, and a prayer for you.
