| 0:00.0 | Your identity as a counselor on this edition of Truth and Love. |
| 0:12.0 | I'm Dale Johnson and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that |
| 0:21.9 | people face. |
| 0:23.6 | And today we are delighted to have with us, Bill Shannon, who is the pastor over discipleship |
| 0:31.3 | counseling at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California. |
| 0:35.6 | He's been there for 38 years, and praise the Lord for that, |
| 0:38.7 | been on staff for 32, I think it is, Bill. And he's an ACBC certified member. Many of you |
| 0:44.6 | are very familiar with Bill. You know him well. He's also a supervising fellow. One interesting |
| 0:50.6 | thing I'll mention about Bill that I really appreciate is Bill does a lot of supervising as a fellow. |
| 0:57.1 | And I'm so grateful because I really think that that's one of the most critical stages of the process of counseling training is being supervised and having someone like Bill who's dedicated to supervising. |

| 1:32.4 | see biblical counseling and ACBC spread into that part of the world. So Bill, I'm grateful |
| 1:37.3 | that you're here and grateful we could catch up to have this conversation today. Thank you, |
| 1:41.2 | Dale. It's wonderful to be here. It's a sadness that the whole |
| 1:45.3 | conference can't be at Grace Community Church this year, but we still have a future. That's right. |
| 1:50.7 | We were looking forward to being here at Grace Community in beautiful Southern California. And so |
| 1:57.3 | I'm so grateful that we had a chance to catch up even still. And we're going to chat today about your breakout session and some of the things that you were wanting to share and that you did share digitally. |
| 2:08.8 | And an interesting way that you shape some of the questions. I really appreciate this because often we as counselors are asking questions about our human nature and about understanding |
