Here’s Why “Therapy” Without God Can’t Truly Transform Your Mind

On today’s Witness Wednesday, Dr. Greg Gifford joins Todd Friel at the University of North Georgia to field questions on faith, mental health, and therapy. Dr. Gifford brings his expertise in the field of Biblical Counseling to challenge students on their ideas about therapy and medication.

Segment 1:

• Todd and Greg confront the popular “Jesus and therapy” trend, urging students to consider the sufficiency of Christ alone.

• Learn the critical difference between therapists who integrate worldly psychology and those who stand on Scripture.

• Real hope comes when sin is called what it is: something Christ can actually set you free from.

Segment 2:

• Greg is asked why he didn’t address abuse and Trauma. Abuse and deep wounds deserve more than 20-minute treatments; Scripture speaks to them with care and power.

• Biblical counseling doesn’t ignore pain—it applies truth to the heart and brings real healing.

• Discover why people often say “I’ve read this verse 100 times, but now it hits different.”

Segment 3:

• A student asks, “Has Christ ever restored your hope personally?”

• Todd shares his childhood anxiety and how Jesus completely redefined his fears.

• Don’t underestimate the power of a local church and Scripture applied directly to your hardest questions.

Segment 4:

• One student wrestles with surrendering fear—and Todd & Greg dig deep.

• Multiple students ask about anxiety, humility, and Bible reading.

• Anxiety fades when truth replaces lies, which happens when we fill our mind with God’s word and are transformed. Don’t just check boxes; use Scripture to engage your heart and fight your sin.
