Episode notes
Biblical Mind vs. Brain
- Dr. Greg Gifford explains the biblical difference between "mind" and "brain".
- The mind is immaterial, related to the inner self/soul, while the brain is the physical organ.
Mental Health and the Soul
- Mental health, as defined by modern psychology, often deals with issues the Bible categorizes as matters of the soul/inner person.
- This raises questions about the overlap and potential encroachment of mental health into spiritual matters.
Evaluating Mental Health Biblically
- Consider the Bible's authority when discussing mental health and illness.
- Let scripture define terms related to the mind and soul, then evaluate mental health concepts in light of those definitions.
