Hi, welcome to another episode of Theology Applied. I'm your host, Pastor Joel Webin with Right Response Ministries.

On this episode, I was privileged to have as a special guest, Dr. John Street, to discuss the topic of biblical counseling.

Hope you enjoy.

Applying God's Word to every aspect of life.

This is Theology Applied.

All right, so I'm privileged to be joined by Dr. Street with our episode today.

Dr. John Street, would you go ahead and just take a moment to introduce yourself to our listeners?

Sure.

I'm just a sinner saved by grace and

by God's infinite grace. He has placed me into a ministry whereby I have the opportunity

to teach, especially on a graduate level, biblical counseling. I do that to guys that are

going through seminary. and then we have a

graduate program at the Master's University called the Master of Arts in biblical counseling.

We are coming close to getting approval or a doctoral level program there at the university,

so we're really excited about that in the area of biblical counseling. I'm really a

former pastor. That's what I have done for the majority of my ministry life, but for the last

22 years since then, I've been a teacher and a professor. So that's what I do. I also function

as an elder, Grace Community Church in Southern Valley, California, where Dr. John

MacArthur is the pastor. And then I also serve as the president of the board of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, ACBC, which is a growing organization of around pretty close to 2,500 people nationally and internationally that

are fully certified and around the world. It's a really tight network people that have been

certified in the area of biblical counseling. So that gives you a little bit of an idea of some

of the things that I do. But I'm really grateful for the fact that I have a wonderful wife who, by the way, in a day or two of our anniversary, we turn, we, see, it'll be our 44th anniversary.
