    Coffee and Counseling S2EP5: Resting in the God Who Sustains

    Season 2, Episode 5 — Resting in the God Who Sustains In this episode, Brian speaks directly to pastors, counselors, and ministry leaders who are carrying heavy burdens and quietly feeling the strain. The conversation opens with a simple reflection on how even a premium cup of coffee can remind us that the Father is kind, and then moves into the deeper theme of biblical self-care — not indulgence, but spiritual stewardship. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28–30, “Come to me… and I will give you rest.” That invitation is for the weary helper too.

    Coffee and Counseling S2EP4: When God Calls You Out of Hiding

    Season 2, Episode 4 — When God Calls You Out of Hiding In this episode, Brian reflects on Exodus 3–4 and the moment when God interrupts Moses’ quiet life in Midian with a holy calling. Moses had fled Egypt, built a quieter life, and likely assumed the rest of his days would be spent keeping things simple. But God met him at the burning bush and called him back into the very story he had been trying to leave behind.

    Coffee and Counseling S2EP3: When You’ve Been Betrayed — Finding Jesus After Infidelity

    Season 2, Episode 3: Infidelity crushes trust and leaves people disoriented, ashamed, angry, and overwhelmed. In this episode we talk about what it means to find Jesus after betrayal. Psalm 34:18 says, “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted.” Psalm 23:3 says, “He restores my soul.” We look at the difference between relief and real healing, why betrayed spouses need more than quick advice, and how Christ meets people in the deepest places of grief.

    Coffee and Counseling S2EP2: Holy Noticing — Learning to See God in Ordinary Life

    Have you ever driven the same route for years and suddenly noticed something that had been there all along? In this episode we talk about holy noticing—learning to see God’s nearness in ordinary life. Luke 24 shows Jesus present with the disciples on the road to Emmaus before they recognized Him. Psalm 139 reminds us there is nowhere we can go from God’s presence, James 4 says, “Draw near to God,” and Hebrews 4 shows us a Savior who is near in suffering. We also linger over Isaiah 41:10 and the promise, “Fear not, for I am with you.”

    Coffee and Counseling S2EP1: Biblical Living Family Renewal — A New Ministry Focus

    In Season 2, Episode 1, Brian introduces Biblical Living Family Renewal, a new ministry focus serving families caught in abuse, fear, confusion, and destructive dynamics. Psalm 9:9 says, “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed,” and Isaiah 1:17 says, “Seek justice, correct oppression.” This episode explains why renewal must begin with truth, safety, repentance, and wise care—not rushed restoration.

    Coffee and Counseling EP19: Hope — Anchoring the Heart to Jesus (Holiday Series, Pt. 2)

    As Christmas nears, hope isn’t a mood—it’s a Person. Matthew 1:23 says, “They shall call his name Emmanuel… God with us.” Peter says in 1 Peter 1:3, we’ve been born again to a living hope; Hebrews 6:19 says hope is a sure and steadfast anchor. In Pt. 2 of our holiday series, we contrast worldly vs. biblical hope, hear stories from the BLC team, and answer, “I feel like I have no hope—what can I do?”

    Coffee and Counseling EP18: Thankfulness — Training the Heart to Treasure Jesus (Holiday Series, Pt. 1)

    We’re closing the year with a 2-part mini-series: Gratitude → Hope. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “give thanks in all circumstances,” and 1 Peter 1:6–7 says trials refine faith. We talk Coffee Advent (three roasts on rotation), how thankfulness grows our affections for Jesus, and what to do when you can’t see God’s blessings. Lamentations 3:21–23 says His mercies are new every morning.

  8. Coffee and Counseling EP17: First Steps to Safety — When Abuse Is in the Story

    2025. 11. 21.

    Coffee and Counseling EP17: First Steps to Safety — When Abuse Is in the Story

    Today we talk, gently and plainly, about getting to safety when abuse is in the story. Psalm 9:9 says, “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed.” Proverbs 22:3 says, “The prudent sees danger and hides himself.” We outline first steps, why separation for safety can be wise (divorce not in view), and why disclosure must be planned carefully. Links to a safety plan and screeners in the show notes. If you’re in immediate danger, call local emergency services.
