| 0:12.0 | I'm Dale Johnson and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, |
| 0:17.8 | where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people |
| 0:21.6 | face. And this week on the podcast, I'm delighted to have with us, Dr. John Babler. Dr. Babler serves as |
| 0:29.8 | Professor of Biblical Counseling at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. |
| 0:34.9 | He's also the missions pastor at Birchman Baptist Church. He's married to |
| 0:40.1 | Mary Lee, and they have 11 children and now 12 grandchildren as well. I love Dr. Babler, |

| 1:32.0 | It's too late if we wait as ministers until the crisis happens to prepare for us doing something about it. |
| 1:40.7 | So why is it important for us to prepare as ministers to minister to those who are impacted |
| 1:45.7 | by trauma? One of the reasons it's important to prepare is because of the fact that quite |
| 1:50.1 | simply traumatic events are happening more frequently in the context of our culture. The number of |
| 1:56.3 | active shooter events has gone up dramatically in the last 17 years. The opportunities for people to |
| 2:05.4 | minister in those contexts are great. In addition to that, the suicide rate continues to increase. |
| 2:11.4 | I've been working in the emergency services for many years. It's skyrocketing among police officers |
