Confessing Hidden Sin 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, Pastor Josh Griner.

He's originally from Indiana, and he went to Purdue University,

where he received his BA in political science.

During his time at Purdue, he received biblical counseling from Faith Church in Lafayette, Indiana,

and he was introduced to the

biblical counseling movement. After graduating from Purdue, one of the pastors on staff encouraged him

to consider going into the ministry, and eventually he enrolled in Faith Bible Seminary, where he

received his M. Div, and while at Faith, he met his wife, Shanna, and they have four children.

After spending 10 years on staff at Faith, Josh now serves as a lead pastor of Berean Baptist in Portage, Michigan.

He was certified in 2009 with ACBC and serves as a fellow with ACBC, and he teaches in the MABC program at Faith Bible Seminary.

Josh, again, welcome to the podcast,

so grateful for your time with us, looking forward to this discussion on confessing hidden sins.

Great to be with you here today, Dale. Appreciate the opportunity.

Josh, as we look at this, this is always sort of one of those dream moments as a counselor when the Lord just has a specific

situation that arises and we see a counseling moving in a direction that is a very

biblical posture to confess sins. But the very nature of these things being hidden makes it

somewhat difficult. So I want to start, try to work through this in a

biblical fashion for us to understand how to go about this or how to facilitate this with a

counsellee. I want to see what are some of the biblical examples that we're describing.
