A biblical response to scrupulosity 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.

I'm joined again by Brent Osterberg. He is served as a pastor at Living Hope Bible Church

in Mansfield, Texas since 2015. He received his bachelor's degree from Sam Houston State

University, an M-Div from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a

deeming in an expository preaching from the Master's Seminary.

He's been ACBC certified counselor since 2009, and he serves with the Center for Biblical

Counseling and Discipleship there in the Fort Worth area.

That's a training center of us at ACBC.

He's been married to Carrie for 20 years and they have three

children. Brent, looking forward to our discussion today, the things we talked about last week,

I think we're really critical. We introduced the topic of scrupulosity. We talked about how to

identify some of these patterns, sinful patterns within a person. You shared a little bit about

your story as well.

We identified even some of the things that we treasure, the heart idols we would describe them

as, that are tendencies of folks who struggle with this obsessive and compulsive response.

We've dissected that, I think, well, and you helped us to think through that.

I want us today to focus on how we respond to that.

So we're helping the counselor and the counsellee to think through scrupulosity in a very particular way.

So, brother, welcome back.

I'm looking forward to our discussion as we get practical in our response here.
