Episode 58: Can Anyone Be a “Biblical Counselor?” (with Joshua Greiner)
The biblical counseling movement is ever-growing, and yet, not everyone who goes by the title of “biblical counselor” adheres to the same ideals and beliefs. There are those who claim to be biblical counselors but still turn to outside sources, additional therapies, and specialized training they feel is necessary to be able to adequately address what may come into the counseling room.
However, is this man-centered wisdom really necessary to be able to counsel well? Should those who rely on it have the title of a biblical counselor? We are addressing these questions and more. Helping me do this is my guest, Joshua Greiner.
Joshua is shepherding as the Lead Pastor at Berean Baptist Church in Michigan, and is an ACBC-Certified Counselor and a Fellow. He has been a voice in the biblical counseling movement for a long time.
In this episode, Joshua shares a definition of a true biblical counselor, what role other therapies or specializations have in biblical counseling, questions you should be asking of your local biblical counselors, and much more.
Listen in!
