On ‘New Life Live!’: Death Takes a Holiday

December 5th, 2008 by David Dansker

Stephen Arterburn and Dr. David Stoop are hosts of the call-in talk radio show New Life Live! which is a nationally syndicated program on several Christian radio stations.  Both hosts are purveyors of Psychoheresy, the mingling of psychotherapy with God’s word in an attack on Biblical Christianity to the detriment of the saints, and others.  Arterburn is a prolific author of self-help books.  Dr. Stoop is a licensed clinical psychologist with a counseling practice in California.  Here a concession must be permitted: it is possible for a person to be a Christian and dispense the poison of Psychoheresy.  He just won’t be a mature Christian, and he will cause a great deal of harm to a lot of people.  The extent of that harm depends on the size of his audience, and the level of skill the practitioner has in plying the manipulative aspect of Psychoheresy.
