Bad Churchianity Advice of Epic Proportions

Modern churchianity encourages people to bury their emotional wounds and deny their mental illnesses in lieu of having faith and letting God whisk your past away. However, this doesn't actually work for alot of people. Sometimes therapy or other treatments are required to get mentally and emotionally healthy. Please do not let your faith keep you from seeking help if you need it. This is not a lack of faith, it's wisdom.

It makes me so sad to post the following from Joel. I used to like his positive thinking version of the Good News, but often times positive thinking alone doesn't cut it when you're suffering and wounded. Many times people relive hurts because their soul is in dire need of healing from a trauma, you cannot just "change the channel" on that. Tisk tisk on church leaders who discourage people getting help outside of the church..

The following is my response on Joel Osteen's flippant advice for the wounded that he posted today on his Facebook page.
