In this 54th episode, Dr. Knabb explores distorted thinking, doing so from both psychological and Christian perspectives. In particular, he reviews cognitive behavioral therapy, including the notion that our interpretation of life, not life's events in and of themselves, often determines how we feel and what we do. Then, Dr. Knabb discusses a Christian perspective on the fallen human mind, including strategies for managing distorted thoughts in Christian living.
