Ep 329: Are We Reading the Bible for Therapy Instead of Theology?

from Her Faith Inspires Podcast · host Shanda Fulbright

Today we explore a growing trend among Christian women: approaching the Bible more for emotional comfort than for the knowledge of God. Why do we gravitate toward the "easier" books of the Bible and avoid the ones that require deeper study? Has church quietly become a place for therapy rather than transformation? And how has a worldview known as Moralistic Therapeutic Deism shaped what many Christians expect from faith? Shanda shares a personal lesson that exposed this mindset in her own life and offers a biblical solution—one that doesn't dismiss emotional healing, but roots it in theology instead of self-focus. If we want lasting wholeness, we have to move from reading the Bible for ourselves to reading it to know God.
