| 0:00.0 | suffering and grief on this edition of Truth and Love. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth and 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. |
| 0:21.0 | This week on the podcast, I'm delighted to have with me a fellow Missourian, my friend Kevin Carson. |
| 0:27.4 | He's the pastor of Sunrise Baptist Church in Ozark, Missouri. |
| 0:31.1 | In addition to his pastoral ministry, he serves as the department chair of biblical counseling at what was Baptist Bible College and Theological |
| 0:38.1 | Seminary in Springfield, Missouri, and it's now known as Mission University. He also serves as a |
| 0:43.9 | counselor at Sunrise Biblical Counseling Ministry. He's ACBC certified and IABC certified. He's a council |
| 0:51.0 | member at the biblical counseling coalition. He's an author and frequent speaker at conferences, retreats, and seminars. |
| 0:57.8 | He and his wife, Kelly, have four children. |

And maybe in some people's opinion, that's not a go-to |
| 1:46.4 | passage, right? We would go to places like First Thessalonians 413, you know, where the scripture |
| 1:51.8 | encourages us that we who have the gospel, we don't grieve like those who are without hope. |
