Ep. 76 Can You Be a Secular Therapist and Hold Firm to Your Faith?

A question was posted anonymously in a therapist group:“How do you manage being a secular therapist and keeping firm in your faith?”At first glance, it seems simple.It assumes we all mean the same thing by secular… and the same thing by Christian faith.In this episode, I unpack the tension beneath the question and explore something more subtle:What happens when faith shapes our kindness… but no longer guides our thinking?We’ll look at:• How secular training impacts Christian clinicians• What ethical codes actually require• The difference between integration and imposition• And why subtle shifts in definition matter more than we thinkThis conversation is about examining ourselves. If you’re a Christian clinician navigating professional identity and faith integration, this episode is for you.🎧 Listen through to the end and reflect on the question:What role does Christ actually play in your clinical reasoning?📖 Medical Mimics is now available on Amazon for clinicians seeking to strengthen discernment around physiological contributors to mental health symptoms. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRNY7MH👉 Subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss upcoming episodes on faith, ethics, and professional practice.👉 Share this episode with a colleague who may be wrestling with the same tension.👉 Leave a review, it helps more Christian clinicians find this work.
