Conversational Counseling

Education EN ↓ 107 episodes

Conversational Counseling is where discipleship and counseling meet. Each season we help you apply biblical truths to your everyday life and to the lives of those around you. After decades of having these conversations in the counseling room and side by side over coffee with friends, we really believe that every single thing we’ve learned is useful within family, with your friends, at your work, with your neighbors and at your church.

S1 Ep. 6/ Show Up, Shut Up, Speak Up 22.06.2022 38:21

The episode in which Brenda and Alex say a "bad" word… listen to find out which one… One of the things that is the biggest danger to good listening and good speaking up is assuming things. We have to be willing to wade in and ask questions and open up every part of what someone is telling us. Our methodology (how we go about ministering to people) is as important as our theology (what we’re saying...

S1 Ep. 5/ Character of God: Sovereignty, Wisdom and Love 08.06.2022 33:36

In this episode, "These Three Things" we talk about are three aspects of God's character; His sovereignty, wisdom and love. There's something particular about suffering that makes us ask the question why? And why me? If we can't orient to the truest truth, we really begin to be tossed about. So often, we think our highest good is our happiness. But God says our highest good is that we would be con...

S1 Ep.4/ Gospel Waltz: Confess, Believe, Love 26.05.2022 38:06

Join us as we explore the themes of confession, belief and love as a beautiful ongoing dance that brings the gospel to life every single day. It is a normal part of the Christian life for the Holy Spirit to show us the beauty of the character of God and that we don't measure up and to bring us to a place where we want to turn away from that.  God's love is inexhaustible. He's like, "I'm going...

S1 Ep.3/ The "Tions": Justification, Sanctification, Glorification 12.05.2022 34:21

Justification is nothing to prove, nothing to lose. Because God says I'm not guilty, I don't have to prove anything. I don't have anything to lose. I'm free. We begin to see the glory and grace of God grow so much as we really understand who God is, what He's done for us, how much He loves us.

S1 Ep.1/ The Lens: Saint, Sufferer, Sinner 11.04.2022 30:27

If you’re suffering, it’s about suffering. If you’re sinning, it’s about suffering. And if we’re driving ourselves to clean up our act and get it right, we’re missing it.
