About the Guest(s): Jim Newheiser is an experienced figure in the field of Christian counseling, currently serving as the director of the Christian Counseling program at Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina. This program is grounded in biblical counseling principles. With a history of engagement in the field since the mid-1990s, Newheiser has also played a pivotal role in the Institute for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship (IBCD), serving as its executive director for 17 years. Additionally, he contributes his expertise as an ACBC fellow and as a member of the Biblical Counseling Coalition. His personal life includes over four decades of marriage and raising three adult sons. Episode Summary: In this episode of Renewal Cast, Coalt Robinson invites counselor and educator Jim Newheiser to delve into the intricate process of personal change and the nuances of parenting in a Christian context. The discussion opens with an exploration of why individuals often struggle with transformation despite recognizing the need for it. Jim shares his insights, drawing from his extensive experience in biblical counseling and pastoral ministry. The conversation moves towards the critical role that the gospel plays in facilitating authentic change, highlighting the need for a balance between understanding divine grace and exercising personal responsibility in sanctification. The practical issues in parenting are addressed, noting that the application of scriptural principles varies significantly depending on the child's stage of faith. Interwoven with Newheiser's theological stance are the challenges and humbling experiences that come with striving to guide children towards a Christ-centered life. Key Takeaways:Transformation often involves a long-term process rather than instantaneous change, and individuals should align their expectations with the principles of progressive sanctification.A secure standing with God through Christ is the foundation from which genuine change and pursuit of holiness emanate, and this assurance is essential for combating doubts and fostering spiritual growth.Gratitude for God's grace can significantly motivate obedience, but this is just one aspect of multifaceted motivations that also include discipline and a recognition of God's love.Parenting is an area where law and gospel both play crucial roles, and biblical principles must be applied with awareness of a child's spiritual condition and individual needs.It is important for parents to recognize their limitations in changing their children's hearts and to understand that ultimately, it is God who regenerates and sanctifies.Notable Quotes:"The Bible teaches Philippians 1:6, He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.""If salvation is God's work, then it will progress beyond conversion, and you began the good work, will continue to perfect it. No one will snatch you out of the father's hands.""The gospel empowers obedience rather than discouraging it.""We will not save our children through being perfect parents. Even if there was a law of parenting, we could not keep it.""Being a believer in a fallen world […] it gives me compassion for people who struggle in different ways, including in this way [parenting]."Resources:Institute for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship (IBCD): IBCD WebsiteACBC (Association of Certified Biblical Counselors): ACBC WebsiteBiblical Counseling Coalition: BCC WebsiteDive into the full episode to gain a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the gospel and to hear Jim Newheiser's insightful perspectives on change and parenting within the Christian faith.

Our Master has commanded us to “teach and admonish one another” (Col. 3:16) and to “warn those that are unruly” (1 Thess. 5:14) as part of our Christian duty. Yet rather than speaking truth and wisdom to others freely, as they received it from God, some sell their biblical counsel as though it had originated from themselves. By God's grace, this is not the practice of a majority of biblical counselors, but it is unfortunately widespread, even among highly reputable biblical counseling organizations such as the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC), as this episode will demonstrate. One of the hallmarks of the biblical counseling movement is the firm conviction that Scripture is sufficient for all non-medical problems. If this is so, God's Word should also be sufficient for answering the question as to whether counseling should be supported or sold. We believe that the Bible is crystal clear that Christian ministry should never be sold, but rather freely supported by the Body of Christ, and we want to encourage the biblical counseling movement to embrace this scriptural truth. As long as biblical counselors teach and function as though the Bible is insufficient to answer this question, they unintentionally undermine their foundational premise. The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) is an esteemed organization, devoted to counseling according to God's Word. I myself am an ACBC certified counselor, and greatly appreciate and admire the work they have done in equipping both pastors and laymen to rightly handle God's Word in counseling. However, when it comes to Jesus's teaching that the ministry of the gospel should be offered freely (Mat 10:8), this organization has opted to turn a blind eye. Rather than take the position of its founder Jay Adams, who clearly assumed that biblical counseling would be offered for free, ACBC leaves the door open for individual counselors to decide whether or not they will charge, and how much: “The Bible is clear that ministers of the gospel of Jesus are entitled to earn their living from the gospel…. Biblical counselors … must seek to love their counselees in discerning whether to charge fees and how much to charge.” Notice that they wrongly assume that earning a living “from the gospel” means charging people for speaking truth in love, putting a price tag on wisdom, and requiring people “obtain the gift of God with money” (Acts 8:20). Also, they imply that it can be loving to charge people for healing, for pointing them to Jesus, and for other spiritual gifts that are involved in biblical counseling. But it is never loving to disobey God by selling access to the ministry of his Word and Spirit. As we'll see in the data presented below, this confusing stance regarding money and ministry has created a biblical counseling landscape in which everyone simply does what is right in their own eyes. Read the article here. sellingjesus.org | thedoreanprinciple.org | copy.church
The biblical counseling movement was founded on the conviction that the Bible is sufficient for solving all non-medical problems that humans face. The central figure behind this return to Scripture was Jay Adams, who shocked the world with a bold and controversial claim “that the task of counseling was a theological enterprise that should be primarily informed by a commitment to God's Word.” While this claim draws fire from both inside and outside the Church, its truth has been proven by both Scripture and experience. Biblical counseling continues to bring hope, peace, freedom, healing, and joy to thousands of suffering people through the power of Christ and his Word–people with conditions like anorexia, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, and dissociative identity disorder. People who struggle with homosexuality, anxiety, rage, and much more. Commenting on 2 Peter 1:3-5, Ed Bulkley writes: "A necessary presupposition of biblical counseling is that God has indeed provided every essential truth the believer needs for a happy, fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. It is the belief that God has not left us lacking in any sense. The apostle Peter states it emphatically. . . . ['His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness…'] Note the word everything. God has provided absolutely everything man needs for physical and spiritual life. This is a primary consideration. If Peter is correct, then God has given us all the information we need to function successfully in this life. Every essential truth, every essential principle, every essential technique for solving human problems has been delivered in God's Word." In light of such an inviolable allegiance to the Bible, biblical counseling practice should be expected to operate according to biblical principles. And this means that it would be appropriate to look to Scripture to answer a simple, practical concern: Should biblical counseling be offered for a fee? Read the article here.

What is Biblical Counseling? What's the difference between that and secular or even christian counseling? Who should govern what counselors can and cannot say in the counseling room? Why “biblical counseling” when there's a whole field of licensed professional counselors who seemingly want to help people? What standard do we use for helping people seek and find peace? All this and more in my conversation with Ursla McCarthy, an ACBC certified counselor who attends the same church as I do. Ursla has a Masters in Biblical Counseling and a Bachelors degree in Psychology. She changed directions with her psychology degree after beginning to practice counseling in the prison system and realizing it was not effective for helping people truly change. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kindledpodcast/support
