Soul Care Culture: Developing a Church-Wide Culture of Biblical Soul Care
Episode 73: The Ministry of Mediation (with Josh Gerber)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever since Genesis 3, we have encountered a world in which there is conflict. I pray that you are able to look at conflict not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity for God's grace to be displayed when his children reconcile through the power of the cross.
In this conversation, I am joined by Josh Gerber who is a pastor at Newcastle Bible Church as well as part of the BCM team that handles mediation for the churches within the Central Illinois Partner Network.
From his experience in the ministry of mediation, Josh shares how to help multiple individuals pursue forgiveness, confession, and work together toward godliness. You will hear about the different stages of mediation, how to evaluate which counseling cases are a good fit for mediation, how to identify when church discipline is the appropriate version of mediation to bring about repentance and reconciliation, and much more!
The team at BCM prays that through each conversation God will be glorified, the church of believers will be strengthened, and the pastor will be encouraged and a little more equipped to counsel their flock with conviction and hope.
