Daily Dose of Wisdom: Why Dr. Greg Gifford Says Therapy Isn’t the First Stop

What if the mind’s deepest struggles can’t be solved by therapy alone? In this condensed version of the Daily Dose of Wisdom episode, Brandon McGuire talks with Dr. Greg E. Gifford, author of *Lies My Therapist Told Me*, about why he believes modern mental health care often medicalizes the mind and misses the root of suffering. This summary trims the full episode into a quick listen, highlighting Gifford’s take on anxiety, sin, temptation, biblical counseling, and how Romans 12:2 shapes a Christian view of renewal. You’ll hear why he distinguishes the brain from the mind, how secular counseling can reshape moral language, and why the gospel, not symptom management, is his framework for lasting change.
