Following Jesus with Anxiety Bonus: Baptizing Secular Psychology
Show Notes

In this episode, Nate Claiborne and Benjamin Kandt discuss a Christian approach to the field of psychology. Using the category of common grace, Christians are able to commend what is good, true, and beautiful in a field of study like psychology. Using the category of "antithesis," Christians are able to critique what is evil, false, and ugly in that same field. The error for many is to only do one or the other. Liberalism leans toward only seeing the good, fundamentalism leans toward only seeing the evil. With all this in mind, Ben explains what it would mean to "baptize" secular psychology.
