Description

Leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyIn this eye-opening episode, we shine a spotlight on the concerning approach to mental health at Bob Jones University, where psychological evidence takes a backseat to spiritual beliefs. Join us as we explore the detrimental impact of this perspective, which often blames and shames students for their mental health struggles, attributing them solely to a lack of spiritual closeness to Jesus and perceived sins. Lee Foster studied Biblical Counseling in her Bachelors's and Master's at BJU, and she pulls back the curtain on this dangerous and unethical practice.Join the discussion group HERE https://www.facebook.com/groups/1153866318625322/Connect with Andrew PledgerSocial Media: https://andrewpledger.mypixieset.com/linksJoin my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/4ndrewpledgerSpeaking Up Podcast: https://shows.acast.com/speaking-up-with-andrew-pledgerFull SermonsMazak: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=1115201656507514Jim Berg: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=101003151620Sources: https://www.tumblr.com/survivingbjupodcast/726104816669081600/sources?source=share Hosted on Acast.
