We are bringing you this conversation live from the ACBC Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. Each conference has been so encouraging and insightful; however, there is one thing I’ve noticed – not as many pastors are involved enough in their counseling ministry to attend a biblical counseling conference.

Joining me to help answer the question, “Why aren’t more pastors coming or taking an active role in biblical counseling?” is a fellow pastor from Illinois. Jonathan Chadbourn is the teaching pastor at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Morton, Illinois. He carries a great burden to see people conformed to Christ through teaching, discipleship, and biblical counseling.

In this episode, Jonathan shares the different reasons some pastors may not invest in an ACBC Conference, the personal benefits of a training like an ACBC Conference, a challenge to all pastors who long to shepherd their flock well, and much more.
