Show Notes
Mike interviews Emily, director of certification training at ABC, as the track leader for the Fundamentals of Biblical Counseling Methods at the Call to Council conference. Emily explains the track’s purpose for online and newer counselors, those in Level One, and others exploring biblical counseling methods, and outlines sessions that move from a theology of care in the church through beginning, middle, and ending counseling sessions. Speakers include Dan Ghramm on theology of care and using the Bible’s story “from Garden to Glory,” Emily on starting well and ending well, Chris Minott on unpacking a counselee’s story and dynamics of the heart, and Shauna on the character of God and sharing Scripture in counseling. The track ends with a panel applying the methods to a case study, with several new lessons from last year.
