The Biblical Counseling Coalition is committed to building unity by fostering relationships in the biblical counseling movement. To that end, the BCC is focusing on the creation and growth of 133 Networks. 133 Networks are groups of biblical counselors who meet for encouragement, equipping, and engagement. The 133 Networks get their name from Psalm 133. This episode is a message from Psalm 133 that Dr. Solomon delivered at the inaugural meeting of the Louisville gathering of the Bluegrass BCC, a 133 Network in Kentucky. Listen and hear the BCC’s heart behind 133 Networks. The next few episodes will highlight various 133 Networks around the country. Join us in April 2024 for Build 133 by becoming a Partner and joining a 133 Network!

Peter Sondergeld, pastor of Restoration Church in Australia, joins us for another episode of 15:14 to discuss Restore Groups. Peter joined us for a previous episode to discuss his book Becoming You. Restore Groups are an opportunity to walk with Jesus through all of the details of your life: the good, the painful, the fragile, the hard, and the hurts. They are about mapping Jesus’ grace and presence, two things that are inseparable, onto the deep and delicate areas of your life. Learn how Restoration Church uses Restore Groups and how your church could adopt them in your ministry context as well.
