    Episode 82: [Replay] The Biblical Counselors Society (with Nick Sevier)

    Share your thoughts What do you do when you encounter a counseling situation that has you stumped or is difficult to navigate? Where do you turn to for practical, biblical advice? My guest today has encountered this question many times, which is why he founded the Biblical Counselors Society. This is a group of fellow pastors, church leaders, and biblical counselors who can offer advice and resources for your most challenging counseling cases. Nick Sevier is the Founder and Director of the Biblical Counselors Society. He is also an ACBC and International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC) Certified Biblical Counselor. This conversation with Nick Sevier is the fourth of a five-part replay series highlighting BCM's trusted partners that we have had the pleasure of hosting as guests on the podcast. Reflecting back on these episodes, we are thanking God for the blessing of being in ministry alongside these faithful believers. We recorded this episode from Faith Church in Lafayette, Indiana at the Biblical Counseling Conference. In this episode, we’ll share the value of having a community of like-minded counselors, the mission of the Biblical Counselors Society, why participation is the key to this society’s success, and much more.

    Episode 79: [Replay] The Church's Call to Counsel (with Dale Johnson)

    Share your thoughts When life falls apart, where do believers run? For many, the church is their last resort. The culture has offered rival explanations for our biggest problems, deepest needs, and the path forward to change. Overwhelmed pastors have accepted the counterfeits, hoping that licensed therapists will provide a balm for their hurting flock.  What if we were never meant to outsource soul care? What if biblical care and counsel was intended to be so much more than a counseling program at church? As pastors and church leaders, we need to take responsibility for the ways we have given in to the cultural definitions and return to the unchanging Word of the Maker, Redeemer, and Wonderful Counselor. The Bible addresses all the issues we experience in life from the primary perspective of how we live in relation to God. The church is not only the best institution equipped to bear the burdens of soul care, but the only one to which God has given the responsibility to minister to the problems in a believer’s life.  This conversation with Dr. Dale Johnson is the first of a five-part replay series that will air over the next few months. Each of the replay episodes highlights one of BCM's trusted partners that we have had the pleasure of hosting as a guest on the podcast. Reflecting back on these episodes, we are thanking God for the blessing of being in ministry alongside these faithful believers. In this episode, Dr. Dale Johnson unpacks the call of Biblical discipleship and what this looks like practically for both the shepherds and the flock of the local church. Listen in!

    Episode 76: Informal Counseling in the Local Church Part 2 (with Kari Gross, Kent Kloter, and Christi Thach)

    Share your thoughts How do you counsel a fellow believer with Biblical clarity and Christ-like compassion when you aren't sitting in the counseling room? We talk a lot about formal counseling at BCM, but informal counseling is an indispensable element of the local church's design that offers a huge impact on a believer’s life and growth. In this episode, Kari sits down with two friends and fellow BCM teammates, Christi Thach and Kent Kloter, to continue a conversation from our last episode. They discuss informal counseling and offer a biblical perspective on care and friendship in the church body. Kent and Christi speak from years of personal sanctification and counseling experience and offer practical wisdom for the pastor and church member alike. In this episode, they discuss: -handling fear that arises as a counselor caught off guard in informal settings, -directing casual conversations to Biblical truth and gospel hope, -loving and guiding the counselee through questions, -responding with humility, -and much more! The team at BCM prays that through each conversation God will be glorified, the church of believers will be strengthened, and the pastor will be encouraged and a little more equipped to counsel their flock with conviction and hope.  Listen in!

    Share your thoughts What does it look like after someone has gone through formal counseling? We talk a lot about formal counseling at BCM, but informal counseling is an indispensable element of the local church's design that offers a huge impact on a believer’s life and growth. In this episode, Kari fills in for Mike as the host and sits down with two friends and fellow BCM teammates, Christi Thach, our process manager, and Kent Kloter, our biblical SoulCare™ coach. They discuss informal counseling and offer a biblical perspective on care and friendship in the church body. In this conversation, Kent and Christi speak from years of personal sanctification and counseling experience and address both the pastor and the lay church member. They clarify the concept of counseling, encourage gospel-centered conversations in Biblical friendships, offer practical examples of counsel through friendship, and emphasize the impact this informal counseling has on the local church as part of God’s good design. The team at BCM prays that through each conversation God will be glorified, the church of believers will be strengthened, and the pastor will be encouraged and a little more equipped to counsel their flock with conviction and hope.
