Episode 70 - Why Commitment to the Local Church is Crucial for the Counseling Process

 
 

In this episode of Counsel the Word Pastor Keith Palmer talks with Dr. Brent Osterberg on why Commitment to the Local Church is Crucial for the Counseling Process.. Here are some things discussed.

  • In biblical counseling circles it has been said that the time spent in counseling each week should not be considered "the magic hour".  Meaning that more is needed beyond that limited time of instruction for change to occur in a counselee.  How does the corporate nature of the Christian life speak to this point?

  • Why should we insist on a counselee's regular attendance in the worship service and intentional involvement in the local church?

  • What homework assignments might you give to encourage the prioritization of biblical community?
