Can a Christian be a lawyer on this edition of Truth and Love?

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 to the problems that people face.

This week on the podcast I have with me again, Dr. Todd Sorrell. I'm so grateful for this brother

and his work as a lawyer. And so I cannot wait, Todd, to hear how you're going to work through

some of this material relative to a Christian being a

lawyer. And I know a lot of our people are going to be interested in part because of the

heightened awareness that legal issues are playing, even in the counseling room. For those of us who

are non-licensed Christian believers who are trying to promote the scriptures as sufficient in counseling.

Let me tell you a little bit about Todd. He is an ACBC certified counselor. He's an attorney in

California, and he's an adjunct biblical counseling and business professor at the Masters

University, and he's also a businessman. So Todd, I'm so grateful that you are here, brother,

to talk about this issue. And my goodness, our

awareness about legal issues is raging today. Now, he's been on our program in the past. So I want to

make sure that you guys remember some of the things that he's contributed to with our recent

discussions about West Lafayette and the ordinance there as well. We've talked in the past,

Todd, about Christian college and how to choose a

Christian college and that sort of thing. You even wrote a book that helps parents think through

choosing colleges for the young people. Now, as we talk about some issues today, lawyers play, I think,

a significant role in the church in helping us to think through so many issues that are bombarding us.

You think about today, the issue of LGBTQ and the lobbying that happens.
