Shepherding Our People in a Therapeutic Culture: Discipling Through the Mind and the Brain

In this session, Greg Gifford addresses the important distinction between the mind and the brain and why that difference matters for biblical counseling, discipleship, and pastoral ministry. As confusion continues to grow around mental illness, emotional struggles, and the role of the body, this teaching helps Christians think carefully and biblically about the relationship between spiritual care, the inner life, and legitimate medical concerns.

This message explores common misunderstandings about mental health, the tendency to reduce human problems to the brain alone, and the pastoral implications of that confusion. Greg offers practical guidance for shepherding people wisely, encouraging biblical clarity, compassionate ministry, and appropriate care where physical issues may be involved. This is a helpful resource for pastors, counselors, church leaders, and any Christian seeking to think biblically about the complexities of the mind, the brain, and discipleship.
