Truth, Measured Podcast
We are a faith based podcast created to draw hearts and ears toward God’s truth through weekly teaching rooted in His Word. As we journey through conversations on motherhood, family, and entrepreneurship, we measure the noise of culture against the steady, unchanging truth of God’s Word, equipping listeners to live anchored, intentional, and faithful lives.
Truth, Measured speaks to the intentional act of pausing in a world full of noise and examining what society and culture proclaim as truth through the unchanging standard of God’s Word. It is an invitation to weigh every message, belief, and assumption against Scripture, allowing God’s truth, not popular opinion, to define what stands and what falls. In measuring truth this way, we are anchored, refined, and aligned with what is eternal rather than what is trending.
Truth, Measured Podcast
Can Christians Go to Therapy?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is therapy a lack of faith? Or have we misunderstood healing in the church?
In this episode of Truth, Measured, I sit down with Dr. Shané P. Teran, Psy.D, LCSW, to have an honest conversation about how faith culture has shaped, and sometimes hindered, mental health healing.
For years, scriptures like Matthew 8:28–34 and Luke 8:27–36 have been interpreted to suggest that all mental illness is the result of demonic oppression. But is that a complete understanding?
What do we do with John 9:1–3, where Jesus clearly rejects the idea that sickness is always caused by personal or parental sin?
And how should we understand 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, which calls us to take every thought captive, when someone is battling depression, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts?
We discuss:
• The danger of shame-based theology
• Deliverance vs. clinical therapy
• Why invisible struggles like depression are often minimized
• When believers should seek professional help
• How churches can create safe mental health support systems
Healing is not always instant.
Sometimes it is layered.
Sometimes it is clinical.
And sometimes it requires both prayer and process.
We measure the noise. We anchor in truth.
If this conversation resonates with you, share it with someone who may need permission to pursue healing without shame.
