Soul Care Culture: Developing a Church-Wide Culture of Biblical Soul Care
Episode 16: The Difficult Topics of Abuse and Suffering, Part 1 (with Mike Wickens)
FYI: This episode does contain mentions and stories of mature topics and includes references to sexual abuse by family members.
Abuse is an issue that’s becoming more and more prevalent for pastors to need to navigate. My conversation with Mike Wickens is geared towards pastors who find themselves providing support in these complex, heavy situations.
Mike has been studying in the biblical counseling realm and soul care space for many years. Since 2017, he has served as Associate Pastor of Biblical Counseling at Southern View Chapel in Springfield, IL. He’s also the director of the Springfield Center for Biblical Counseling, which is a certified training center for the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC).
Since starting his counseling journey in 2010, Mike has experienced the burden and reward of shepherding people who have experienced abuse. Through our conversation, he shares practical advice and resources for those on the front lines providing support in these challenging circumstances.
