Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, we talk about biblical counseling. We have a conversation

about some of the downfalls of the biblical counseling movement, in particular its tendencies

toward pietism and hyper-introspection. And then we consider how counseling can be done well

from a confessional and Christ-centered perspective. We consider how things like counseling centers

can be used well for outreach so that people can hear the gospel and also can be used to funnel

people to the local church, which is the real place where counseling and ongoing soul care occurs.

And then in the members podcast, we talk a little bit about our particular areas and our

visions for these kinds of things, even stuff that's already going on in the cities where we're

located. And then we talk some about sanctification in the church and how a perspective that

emphasizes and obsesses on sanctification actually hinders our ongoing Christian life and our

growth in the faith. We hope the conversation

is helpful, clarifying, and encouraging for you. Stay tuned. Hey, guys, there's a quick reminder
