Why God’s Fix For Mental Health Is Better Than Simply Being Numb
Segment 1
• Many Christians struggle with assurance, but God wants us to be certain.
• Sin doesn’t erase salvation—our hope rests in Christ, not in the size of our faith.
• True assurance comes from union with Christ, not feelings.
Segment 2
• Lack of assurance often pairs with spiritual depression.
• Depression doesn’t mean someone isn’t a believer; many Christians quietly carry this weight.
• Common roots vary, but biblical clarity brings hope.
Segment 3
• New Fortis series by Dr. Greg Gifford exposes the rise of psychiatric control over many believers.
• Clifford Beers’ reforms medicalized the mind, blurring distinctions between brain, mind, and soul.
• Meds can’t reach the soul; only the gospel addresses the heart’s deepest needs.
Segment 4
• Pastors are called to shepherd their flock, but many turn to psychiatrists.
• Symptoms may be treated, but deeper, root issues remain untouched by much secular psychiatry.
• Dr. Greg Gifford addresses these issues and many others in new series, “Life Without The Numb”.
