Why Do We Need God? | Dr. Mark Baker

Philosophy for Life

Oct 11 2023 • 1 hr

Get ready for a transformative conversation with Dr. Mark Baker, a clinical psychologist who uses the Bible as a therapeutic tool to help people navigate life situations and relationships. Leveraging the teachings of Jesus in the context of modern psychoanalytic theory, Dr. Baker offers profound insights on how spirituality can play a significant role in our emotional health. With increasing societal shifts away from traditional religious values, the discussion brings to light the potential impacts on relationships and the essential need for spiritual fulfillment beyond religious confines.

In an era where technology and social media are reshaping the way we connect, we explore with Dr. Baker how these platforms have influenced relationships, often leading to increased levels of anxiety and depression. We delve into the fascinating world of relational therapy, where Dr. Baker assists clients to build trust, foster vulnerability, and heal past traumas. We discuss the art of setting boundaries to facilitate healthy vulnerability and the power of emotional intelligence in fostering stronger connections.

Finally, we confront challenging subjects such as resentment, insecurity, and envy, which can have detrimental effects on relationships if not addressed. Dr. Baker emphasizes the healing power of resolving resentment, particularly for men who often harbor unprocessed anger towards their fathers. As we wrap up the discussion, we reflect on the unmatched influence of love in relationships and how, according to Dr. Baker, loving others is the ultimate way to live. Join us for this enlightening conversation that promises to change the way you view relationships, spirituality, and emotional health.
