Everyday Counseling
Most of us don’t consider ourselves to be counselors. Friends, sure. Parents; some of us. Group Leaders; yeah. But not counselors. The problem is that most of us have an inaccurate idea of what Counseling really is. A helpful definition of counseling comes from Heath Lambert when he says, “Counseling is a conversation where one party with questions, problems, and trouble seeks assistance from someone they believe has answers, solutions, and help.” Under this definition of counseling, we all find ourselves functioning as counselors on a regular basis: with our friends, our kids, our coworkers, people in small groups. Introduction to Biblical Counseling is a class designed to equip you to offer biblical help to those who need it. We will learn how to approach counseling situations, helpful processes for discerning root issues, and tools to apply the truths of God’s word to the needs of everyday life. The class will include: Weekly reading assignments, Primarily from Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands by Paul David Tripp Lectures, class discussions, and homework assignments.
