Christian Counseling vs. Secular Therapy & Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Taylor Frankie Paul Scandal

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew dive into the deep end of current controversies and legal battles at the intersection of faith and culture. We start by unpacking the viral fallout surrounding TikTok influencer Taylor Frankie Paul and the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” scandal, discussing the devastating consequences of lifestyle choices outside of biblical marriage. The discussion shifts to a major headline in the church world: Why was Grace Community Church removed from a prominent Christian counseling group’s approved list? We explore the ongoing lawsuit involving allegations of “aiding and abetting” abuse and what this means for the future of pastoral care. Finally, we celebrate a massive win for religious liberty as the Supreme Court smacks down Colorado’s attempt to ban certain types of counseling. Is Christian counseling even “Christian” if it relies on secular psychology, or is the Bible sufficient for the soul? Join us for a serious (and sometimes humorous) look at these spiritual truths.
