0:11.0

I'm Dale Johnson and you're listening to Truth in Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

0:16.6

where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face.

0:21.9

This week on the podcast, I have with me, Dr. Lance Quinn.

0:25.4

He is a vice president of the Expositor's Seminary and on the pastoral team of Grace Emmanuel Bible Church in Jupiter, Florida.

0:33.0

He's been involved with biblical counseling movement for over 30 years, having served as a fellow and a board

0:38.8

member of ACBC for some 25 of those years. Lance and his late wife, Beth, have eight adult

And hope is that component that will surely give them a kind of encouragement and a way forward.

2:03.6

So you know, this is one of those eyes, of the seven eyes that's known very well in ACBC circles.
