Biblical counseling is not an easy calling. How do you effectively communicate the gospel to hurting people? Theological training and learning from other counselors are both key to growing in the wisdom, love, and skill needed to apply Scripture to yourself and others. Preparation is key, but sometimes the most effective training comes after you have jumped into the ring and a coach helps you review what you have done well and where you can grow.
In Consider Your Counsel, Bob Kellemen comes alongside counselors and describes ten common missteps he has observed in his own counseling and in those he has supervised. Drawing on more than three decades of counseling supervision experience, Kellemen explains each typical mistake, then explores alternative approaches and practical suggestions to help counselors mature in wisdom, love, and skill.
This concise, practical book helps pastors, biblical counselors, ministry leaders, and students honestly assess their methods and develop more effective, gospel-centered care for those who suffer. It emphasizes listening before teaching, attending to suffering as well as sin, and growing through supervision and reflection.
