| 0:19.7 | I'm Dale Johnson and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people face. |
| 0:32.1 | And today, I am excited that we have Dr. Stuart Scott with us on the podcast. And we're going to discuss some |
| 0:39.2 | interesting things today. Dr. Scott has taught at the Master's University for a number of years. |
| 0:44.7 | He's also the director of our membership services with ACBC. He's been a member for 30 years, |
| 0:51.8 | but he's also been a fellow for quite some time, which means he's served in significant roles. He's been a member for 30 years, but he's also been a fellow for quite some time, which means he's served in significant roles. |
| 0:56.2 | He's been a major contributor to the literature of the biblical counseling movement as well. |

| 1:40.6 | opportunity to be here with you. But yes, I continually hear these brought up in different venues, whether it's school, among students or faculty, or just out and about. |
| 1:54.0 | Someone will bring something up, and I'm always puzzled that we've already addressed it. |
| 2:00.2 | It's a caricature. |
| 2:01.5 | It's not true. |
| 2:02.3 | But it continues to be, these caricatures continue to be issues that we need to address. |
| 2:10.0 | Some of them that I continually hear is that the New Thetic or ACBC or biblical counseling alone is only focused on behavior and misses the heart, |
| 2:22.2 | misses worship and love for Christ, or a caricature of all you deal with is sin and you don't |
