🧐 Pop psychology is everywhere—but how do we discern what aligns with God’s truth?
In this episode, Mia Burke, Andrea Bufkin, and guest Melody Worsham explore the rise of pop psychology culture, social media therapy language, healing trends, accountability, and how psychology and faith can work together without replacing God.
Together, they unpack the difference between psychology and pop psychology, discuss biblical examples of emotional and relational healing, and ask an important question: Are we seeking transformation…or just validation?
This conversation is honest, practical, and rooted in the hope of real healing through God’s truth.
