Social Context & The Gospel - Ep. 748 - 8-22-2025

Freud vs. Adler in the pulpit. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland compare deterministic psychology with free will and weigh both against the Gospel. Hear why perception and memory shape habits, how trauma can mark your choices, and why faith in Jesus does more than teach coping. We talk motivation, creativity, surrender to the Holy Spirit, and the role of the past vs present. Romans 7–8 guides the path from diagnosis to real healing. We also discuss secular counseling, Christ-centered counseling, and inner healing within the church, always returning to the Bible as the final word.
