Deep Dive | Faith-Based Approaches to Emotional Wellbeing: Faith vs. Therapy – A False Choice

Some believers say, “You don’t need therapy if you have Jesus.” Others say, “Faith isn’t enough; you need professional help.” But what if it’s not either/or? God can work through prayer and professionals, pastors and psychologists.
Dismissing therapy as “lack of faith” not only stigmatises mental health struggles but also ignores that “every good and perfect gift” (James 1:17) can include medical and therapeutic help.
