  • Description

    Leading a counseling group differs significantly from leading a general discipleship group, even when both ministries exist within the same church. Counseling groups focus on specific needs, involve heightened vulnerability around sensitive matters, and require greater preparation, skill, and intentionality from their leaders.

    Brad Hambrick and John Chapman equip lay leaders to serve effectively in group-based counseling ministries within the local church. The book trains leaders to use personal life experience together with structured group curriculum to help people working through life-dominating struggles of sin or suffering, and it points readers to the comfort and hope for change that come from God.

    Part of the Church-Based Counseling series, this practical resource introduces the G4 model of group-based counseling, explains the distinctive dynamics of topic-specific peer counseling groups, and emphasizes the need for ongoing support and training for facilitators. Includes a foreword by J. D. Greear.
