Episode 59: A Biblical Response to Dark Events (with Andrew Gerber)

What do we do when dark events sweep across our nation and affect us close to home? How do we respond as pastors and leaders when current events affect our congregation so deeply?

Episode 58: Can Anyone Be a “Biblical Counselor?” (with Joshua Greiner)

The biblical counseling movement is ever-growing, and yet, not everyone who goes by the title of “biblical counselor” adheres to the same ideals and beliefs. There are those who claim to be biblical counselors but still turn to outside sources, additional therapies, and specialized training they feel is necessary to be able to adequately address what may come into the counseling room. However, is this man-centered wisdom really necessary to be able to counsel well? Should those who rely on i...

Episode 55: Equipping Teens to Have a Biblical Worldview (with Henry Nightingale & Christian Martin)

Many pastors and elders experience discouragement in counseling and even doubt they have the time, training, and resources to do it well. We firmly believe that people should be able to go to their church for help when they are faced with life problems. However, when it comes to the youth of our church or even the teens in our own household, it can be challenging to instill a strong faith that will withstand the opposing views they will encounter.

Episode 49: The Preacher As Counselor (with Scott Gnuse)

As pastors, we recognize our sacred calling to teach and preach God’s Word to our flock. But one of the questions we’ve been pondering is that of our call to counsel and care for them as well. How does or should the care of souls within the local church impact our preaching? Does the dual focus on counseling and teaching have an impact, positive or negative, on either role? Can you only effectively be one or the other? I am delighted to introduce you to a guest who has the answers to all th...

Many of these movements are more syncretistic in nature. To help us understand more about the new arguments coming out and how we should respond as biblical counselors is Dr. Heath Lambert.
