Taylor C. Griffin

Jesus-follower with a PhD in psychology and real questions about what our culture is doing to our spiritual and mental health. Ask the hard questions with me.

When I became a mother, staying quiet stopped being an option. I have a doctorate in psychology and a growing conviction that what's being handed to our children as science is often ideology. What's being sold as healing is often just a more sophisticated way of staying stuck. And what passes as compassion hands your power to a system that profits from your helplessness. I'm here to talk about it.

Sunday Clarity from John 16: We don’t pray in Jesus’ name because he has to convince the Father on our behalf.
God Himself loves us and delights in giving good gifts.
We pray in Jesus’ name because it signals our trust in who God has shown Himself to be in Jesus. It’s a declaration of our belief in His character.🙏

@DrMcFillin As someone with a masters in counseling and a doctorate in research psychology, I’m sad to say I agree completely. Critical thinking is too dangerous to the industry.

@petersonacademy @WesleyLHuff Society has been running with that faulty commandment ever since!

@Moms4Liberty Indoctrination used to be reserved for doctorate programs. Now it’s starting in kindergarten.

@delbigtree Medical freedom is a prerequisite for all other kinds of freedom. So thankful for the people who go against the world, even when it means they’ll be hated for it!

[John Bevere @JohnBevere]

God has prepared a calling for every one of us, but He won't force us to walk in it.

Too often we blame a lack of fruit on God's timing, when He's already given us what we need to grow. He's entrusted us with His Spirit, His Word, and access to His wisdom. The question is whether we'll steward what He's placed in our hands.

The more you pursue God's wisdom, the more effective you'll become. Not because you're striving harder, but because you're learning to partner with the One who called you.

@JohnBevere 🙌waiting on God isn’t a passive posture. Co-laboring with eyes locked on Him is what brings Heaven to earth.

🧠It takes ~6-7 years of college to become a mental health professional.

The DSM (the defining text that defines every mental disorder) tends to get rewritten every ~6-9 years.

So every new wave of therapists is trained on a different “truth” than the one before.

Meanwhile, each new edition generates tens of millions for the American Psychiatric Association.

All totally unrelated, I’m sure.😂

💯💯💯

[Prof James Davies 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

The title of the DSM is changing to: the Diagnostic & "Scientific" Manual of Mental Disorders. This is marketing doublespeak. DSM's construction isn't governed by 'science', but by culturally-situated judgments & the biases of reaching decisions by committee votes & 'consensus'.

[Taylor C. Griffin @TCGriffinPhD]

Thank you for calling this out. We tend to think love requires blind acceptance. But love doesn't accept or celebrate identities that harm people. It calls us to reflect the divine image in one another. And that certainly doesn't look like standing by while little girls are exploited or enslaved.

Refusing to air a presidential speech to the nation about election fraud seems like a horrible way to convince people you weren't in on the election fraud.

[Taylor C. Griffin @TCGriffinPhD]

Oh man, this hurts to watch. The language Joy Behar uses to psychologize Jesus (clearly without knowing what the Bible actually says) shows how much mental-health speak has infected our thinking.

Calling someone (let alone Jesus) narcissistic for saying who they are is pure projection. It's the most self-focused reading imaginable.

Plus, he said who he was for our sake, not his.

If it makes you feel small when someone else steps into their God-given identity and power, that's your psychological issue, not theirs.

[Dr Charlie Ward @DrcharlieWardQ]

BREAKING 🚨Joy Behar: “Jesus himself did not run around saying, ‘I’m the Messiah, I’m the Messiah.’”

Alyssa Farah Griffin: “Ehhhhh.”

Sara Haines: “That’s exactly what Jesus said, ‘I am the Messiah!’”

Joy Behar: “No, he did not! Jesus was more modest than that. Listen I knew Jesus, okay?”

*Women of The View Laugh*

Joy Behar: “Jesus was not narcissistic like this guy.”

Sara Haines: “When you’re actually the Messiah, it’s not narcissism to say it!”

Joy Behar: “Yes, it is.”

Sara Haines: “When you are the Messiah?!”

Whoopi Goldberg: “I’m going to move this along because this is like-, it’s too much for me.”

AI scares me. It should scare you too. But that doesn't mean we can avoid it. It's already here and is an inescapable reality in our world.

We need to psychologically train people for this the way psychology itself was originally meant to help us understand and respond to the human mind (before it got crafted into something that far oversteps that). We have to learn how AI works, what it is, and what it isn't.

I'm seeing people blacklist it in ways that will hurt humans, not AI. Example: a foundation that won't give grants if they suspect AI was used in writing a proposal. The problem? We're really bad at accurately identifying when AI was used. Academic writing, even when completely original, gets flagged as AI all the time.

Hilariously, while digging into this, I found that many AI detectors flag intelligent writing as "AI," then offer a paid service to "humanize" it. The irony is devastating.

However noble the intention to avoid AI, we can't. We don't know enough about it, and attempts to avoid it without understanding it often punish people, not the technology. If our resistance makes us passive or ignorant to it, we'll get beat by it.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

The AI revolution is changing how we work and live. The challenge is making sure it doesn’t change what makes us human.

@TonyRobbins joins me to discuss resilience, purpose, mental health, and how to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

@KristanHawkins It makes them so mad when we don’t hand our children over as sacrifices to their ideology and control.

[Taylor C. Griffin @TCGriffinPhD]

Fellow truthtellers on X, I need to know something... Does telling the truth mess with your dreams? Because mine have gone full spiritual warfare lately. Last night I dreamed someone spilled a full bottle of antidepressants on the floor, and I had to keep a room full of crawling babies from eating them, right after I'd gone deep on SSRIs. Watch and tell me if this ever happens to you too.

[Taylor C. Griffin @TCGriffinPhD]

@Fair_and_Biased @triggerpod @arthurbrooks It’s such an interesting phenomenon that we are made to feel surface level empowerment through claiming a victim identity. Culture tells us we reclaim our power by living in what’s happened to us, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth! Name it, yes. But then overcome it!

[Taylor C. Griffin @TCGriffinPhD]

False teachers slander whatever they don’t understand.

[Taylor C. Griffin @TCGriffinPhD]

Our homes are on fire and we're calling the alarms the problem. Real life stressors producing real emotional responses is not a disorder. When we hand someone a diagnosis and medication to manage the alarm rather than find the fire, we don't just miss the problem. We can make it significantly worse.

[Taylor C. Griffin @TCGriffinPhD]

@conservmillen Totally. Regulation is probably the most immediate and protective step available in this case. Praying for that sweet baby!
