EP 39 | When Did Therapy Replace the Church?

When did therapy become the primary place we bring our soul?

In this reflective episode, Jonathan Kindler explores the quiet cultural shift from shared life to contained care. Blending scripture, clinical insight, and personal confession, he examines how autonomy, privacy, and modern therapy culture have reshaped the way we understand healing, formation, and growth. This episode doesn’t diminish therapy. It places it in context—asking deeper questions about proximity, surrender, and the kind of transformation Scripture describes.

If therapy offers structure, what offers covenant? If processing brings insight, what produces obedience? And if formation was designed to happen in embodied community, what happens when growth becomes primarily private?

Whether you’ve experienced therapy, church hurt, or simply feel caught between independence and connection, this episode invites you to slow down and ask: What is actually forming me?
