| 0:00.0 | Our sufficiency in Christ on this edition of Truth and Love. |
| 0:11.7 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, |
| 0:17.3 | where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face. |
| 0:22.9 | Today on the podcast, I'm delighted to have with me a very special guest. To me personally, |
| 0:28.1 | my pastor, Dr. Rick Holland. He was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and became a |
| 0:33.1 | Christian in high school. He served as a youth pastor in Georgia, Michigan, and California. Then he spent |
| 0:39.1 | 25 years at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California. While at Grace, he pastored Crossroads, |
| 0:44.8 | the college and singles ministry, and served as the executive pastor under Dr. John McArthur. |
| 0:50.1 | Rick is the author of Uneclipsing the Sun from from Cress Biblical Resources, and he's contributed |
| 0:56.2 | chapters in other books as well as articles in theological journals. |
| 0:59.2 | He serves on the faculty at the Expositor's Seminary, where he teaches homiletics and expository |
| 1:04.6 | preaching. |
| 1:05.6 | He's earned degrees from the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, the Masters Seminary, and the Southern Baptist |
| 1:11.9 | Theological Seminary, as well as here, the Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Rick has served |
| 1:17.2 | as senior pastor of Mission Road Bible Church since August of 2011. He and Kim have three sons, Mark, |
| 1:23.9 | Luke, who's married to Annie, John, who is married to Mayanna, and they also have two grandchildren, which if we give Rick opportunity, I'm sure he'll talk about a lot. Brother, thank you for being here on the podcast, and I look forward to our discussion today. Me too. Thank you. Now, I want to get right into this. And Rick, one of the reasons I wanted us to record this is really to give a preview of what's coming. Our conference |
| 1:45.1 | begins today, and we're really excited about that opportunity. You're going to be discussing |
| 1:49.9 | this topic in one of our plenary sessions, Our Sufficiency in Christ. I want you to describe |
| 1:55.8 | what's the most important aim in any counseling and discipleship relationship? Well, thanks, Dale. It's a joy to be here |
| 2:04.0 | with you on the podcast today. I think the most important issue in counseling is something that should be |
| 2:09.5 | obvious, but we can easily miss, and that is that we're trying to connect people with God, with Christ. |
| 2:18.7 | It's so easy for us to think about giving help, which is the burden of anybody's heart |
