Over the past decades, Christians have developed various approaches to counselling. Some call their method biblical counselling, others Christian counselling, and others will use use language like Christian psychology. How can we understand these various approaches to counselling?
In this panel, Paul Carter, RD Glenn, Rob Godard, Michael Krahn, and Wyatt Graham discuss how Christian leaders and pastors can think about counselling in church ministry. It can sometimes be a conversation that has more heat than light. But we hope we can help you think through this occasionally controversial topic to help you shepherd the flock God has shared with you as under-shepherds.
