| 0:00.0 | Lies My Therapist told me part two on this edition of Truth in Love. |
| 0:11.8 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, |
| 0:17.0 | where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face. |
| 0:21.7 | And this week, as I promised from last week, Dr. Greg Gifford is going to join us again. |
| 0:27.0 | He's an assistant professor of biblical counseling at the Masters University. |
| 0:30.3 | He earned a Ph.D. in biblical counseling from Southwestern. |
| 0:33.0 | Baptist Theological Seminary, he holds a Masters of Arts and biblical counseling from the Masters |
| 0:37.1 | University. And he has a BA and pastoral ministry from the Baptist Bible College. He's certified |
| 0:42.7 | with us at ACBC. Greg, I'm really excited about this book that you've written. Lies my therapist |
| 0:48.1 | told me. As we talked about last week, this book is coming out on May the 27th, so this week. And I'm looking forward to |

| 1:33.2 | You're helping to see why this is such an important issue to deal with, why it is that so many |
| 1:39.7 | have been deceived and moving in this direction. And you're helping us to see biblically |
| 1:44.0 | how we can recapture this concept of mind and brain in this direction. And you're helping us to see biblically how we can |
| 1:44.7 | recapture this concept of mind and brain and distinguish the way the Bible does about the ways |
| 1:50.3 | in which we're affected by the curse of sin and the fall of mankind and the way that sin impacts |
| 1:56.4 | us both in body and in soul and material and immaterial. So we want to pick up that conversation |
