Casco, a Honduran living in the Dominican Republic and serving at Santiago Theological Seminary, explains that a 2022 church survey revealed most churches lacked counseling ministries, prompting a one-year, six-module program on key topics like family, marriage, addictions, suffering, and ethics, graduating about 250 students from multiple countries.

Michael interviews David and Krista Dunham about their book, Power with Purpose: God's Design for Power Dynamics in a Marriage. They share their backgrounds in pastoral ministry, counseling, and ABC resource development, and explain they wrote the book as a constructive, “pre-abuse” resource after seeing power issues damage marriages and recognizing a lack of practical guidance. Walking through the book's structure, they discuss understanding power as God-given and meant for good, developing a shared family vision, and how husbands and wives should use power biblically, including headship that empowers and a wife's influence expressed through strengthening, sustaining, and sharpening, with submission defined as purposeful yielding of a wife's power. They emphasize mutuality, collaboration, and one-another commands, and note the book includes reflection questions for ongoing application. 00:00 Conference Intro and Guests01:01 Meet Dave and Krista02:16 Why They Wrote It04:20 Book Roadmap Overview04:37 Understanding Power06:39 Power Purpose and Jesus08:17 Shared Family Vision12:59 Husbands Use of Power15:41 Wives Use of Power19:47 Mutuality and Collaboration24:29 Final Encouragement and WrapEpisode MentionsPower with Purpose Book

In today's episode of The BCC Podcast, Kevin Carson, Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, is joined by Dr. Ernie Baker, Chair of the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling at The Master's University and Director of Training for Biblical Counseling Ministries Worldwide (BCMW). With nearly five decades of ministry experience spanning pastoral ministry, theological education, counseling, and global missions, Ernie reflects on God's providential leading from Florida back to California and shares how the Lord continues to expand opportunities for equipping the next generation of biblical counselors. Kevin and Ernie discuss the historic role of The Master's University in the biblical counseling movement and the exciting developments taking place within its graduate program. Ernie introduces two new Master of Arts emphases—Biblical Counseling and Missions and Biblical Counseling and Mediation—designed to prepare students to faithfully apply Scripture in cross-cultural ministry and conflict resolution. Together, they highlight the importance of equipping counselors who are grounded in God's Word and prepared to serve both the local church and the global mission of Christ. The conversation also explores the work of Biblical Counseling Ministries Worldwide, which trains pastors and church leaders in more than 60 countries while providing counseling resources and theological education around the globe. Ernie explains how the partnership between BCMW and The Master's University seeks to identify and equip faithful leaders who can return to their own nations to strengthen churches through biblical counseling and discipleship. Rooted in Romans 11:33–36, Ernie closes the conversation by reflecting on the beautiful truth that all things are from God, through God, and to God. Whether in counseling, ministry, education, or everyday life, believers are reminded that Christ is both the source and the goal of all they do, calling His people to live for His glory alone.   FROM OUR SPONSOR:  To learn more about an undergraduate degree in biblical counseling, go to BoyceCollege.com/1514.

Kelly, a full-time biblical counselor and former church planter, and David Driskill, a veteran software developer and Care Assist Pro's CTO, about their platform (careassist-pro.com).

Michael is joined with first-time guest Nathan “Jogging” Scroggins, who also highlights Soul Care Consulting International as an “operating system” for local-church discipleship along an intentional-to-intensive discipleship continuum. Nathan explains why Colossians is vital for resisting empty deceit and worldly philosophies and focuses on Colossians 3:15–4:6 about living a Christ-ruled life. Using a case study of Frank, a stressed 42-year-old project manager, husband, and father drifting into irritability and prayerlessness, they discuss counseling applications: letting Christ's peace govern the heart, letting the Word of Christ dwell richly, cultivating thankfulness, restoring prayerful dependence, rebuilding Christlike relational patterns, and refining witness through speech.00:00 Conference Welcome00:55 Soul Care Consulting03:22 Why Colossians Matters05:12 Reading The Passage07:31 Meet Frank Case Study09:07 Peace Rules The Heart20:01 Word Dwells Richly25:51 Thankfulness And Practice28:02 Counseling Frank Summary33:25 Final Thanks And WrapEpisode MentionsSoul Care Consulting

Michael interviews Bob from Biblicare about a church-focused counseling platform that supports the full counseling workflow from intake forms, scheduling, session notes, and homework to analysis, reporting, and ministry oversight. Bob shares his ministry and programming background, including work with a missions agency, and explains Biblicare's origin after a seminary friend with a large church needed a system beyond spreadsheets to prevent counselees from slipping through the cracks. They discuss how Biblicare helps churches create structure, improve administration, and give pastors visibility into counseling activity, trends, and aggregate data for training and budgeting, while also providing ongoing onboarding, coaching, and proactive support as a family-run company.00:00 Conference Intro00:43 Meet Bob01:51 Origin Story03:39 Church Need Emerges05:49 Family Built Company07:29 Kingdom Infrastructure Vision09:31 What Biblicare Does10:55 Onboarding and Process Design13:01 Oversight and Reporting17:23 Crisis Support and Coaching22:24 Cookie Factory Care25:45 Final Advice and Contact29:15 Wrap UpEpisode MentionsBiblicare Software

Michael interviews biblical counselor Shannon McCoy, who shares her current counseling season in South Carolina and her new role hosting shepherdpresspodcast.com. They discuss her emotions-track session on recognizing bitterness, defined as settled resentment formed when pain is rehearsed and judgment is retained rather than entrusted to God, drawing from Hebrews 12:15, Deuteronomy 29:18, James 3:14–15, and Acts 8:23. McCoy outlines a progression from pain to interpretation, judgment, and resentment, noting bitterness is often camouflaged as irritability and can defile individuals and communities. They emphasize a missing step between bitterness and forgiveness: lament, which includes honest complaint to God, repentance, and surrendering justice to Him, leading to peace, joy, and fruit-of-the-Spirit living even amid unresolved conflict.00:00 Conference Welcome00:58 Meet Shannon McCoy01:22 New Season in Ministry01:49 Podcast Hosting Adventures02:54 Emotions Track Highlights04:04 Why Bitterness Matters04:48 Defining Bitterness Biblically05:42 Calling Out Bitterness07:05 From Bitterness to Forgiveness08:10 Lament and Repentance11:16 Bitterness Toward God13:02 Surrendering Justice to God13:32 Joy Versus Bitterness14:29 Roots of Bitterness15:32 Pain to Resentment Cycle17:13 Family Estrangement Example18:50 Bitterness Defiles the Heart20:58 When Bitterness Turns Toxic24:39 Flesh Versus Spirit Choice26:34 Wrap Up and Next StepsEpisode MentionsShepherd Press Podcast W/Shannon

Introduction: Why Spend My Summer Here?

Send us Fan MailGUEST: DR. ERNIE BAKER, author, Marry Wisely, Marry WellThis is Father's Day Weekend and perhaps nothing has been more assaulted in our society than God's design for a godly father shepherding his wife and children. God's model is the only one that leads to harmony in marriage and the home and the raising of a next generation who loves and fears God.How has God's design for fathers been undermined and resisted? In many ways:– Fatherly authority in the home is slandered as misogynistic and toxic.– Culture, peers, education, social media, and entertainment endlessly promote sexual immorality, gender confusion, and “self-actualization” (i.e. live for self, not for God and others).– Even evangelical churches, including schools and camps, delay the transition from boyhood to manhood through emphasizing amusement over maturity.It's no wonder boys grow up drifting, without God's vision for life, marriage, and fatherhood, lacking work ethic, distracted by video games and entertainment, and thus unprepared and even uninformed about God's design for their lives.This is part of the reason we held The Overcomer Course the past two years—to help young adults understand and pursue God's call on the most important issues of life. We aren't holding the two-day Course this year due to managing workload but we wanted to devote a program to the importance of “Preparing Boys for Marriage and Fatherhood.”Helping us do that is our guest, Dr. Ernie Baker. Ernie is the Chair of the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling at The Master's University and the author of several books, including one we will discuss, Marry Wisely, Marry Well. Ernie is also the featured speaker at the upcoming “Wisdom, Romance & the Single Years Conference” on Aug. 21-22 at Anchor Bible Church in Plymouth, MN which is designed for those in their 20s and late teens. Preview and register for the conference here.Also, in the final segment, we'll hear from my late father back in 2019 when he spoke some words of exhortation to his children and grandchildren.

Michael interviews Tim St. John about his “Freedom in Christ” session, “Building Churches that Honor and Protect,” concluding a hidden abuse track focused on identifying abuse in churches and then rebuilding healthy culture. Using a termite-damage metaphor, St. John explains that removing abuse isn't enough; churches must reinstall “beams” like sound theology of suffering and identity in Christ to promote healing and exalt Christ. He defines church hurt as unrepentant sin normalized or protected by leadership and describes three waves of pain: the direct wound, failure to address it, and loss of community. Discussing his book After Church Hurt, he addresses both sheep hurt and shepherd hurt, urges looking to Christ as the Good Shepherd, and offers practical steps including diagnosing what happened, seeking legal counsel when crimes are involved, finding experienced counseling, easing back into church, planning conversations, and evaluating church accountability and culture.00:00 Conference Intro00:41 Meet Tim St John01:24 Workshop Overview03:11 Church Hurt Defined06:11 Three Waves of Pain08:16 After Church Hurt Book08:34 Sheep and Shepherd Hurt11:30 Hope in the Good Shepherd14:53 Practical Steps Forward18:11 Closing and ResourcesEpisode ResourcesAfter Church Hurt - Tim St. John 

In Sanctified by the Spirit: John Owen, Habits of Grace, and Biblical Counseling (Reformation Heritage Books, 2024) Dr. Colin McCulloch examines how approaches to biblical counseling have diverged over the last generations, proposing John Owen's emphasis on Spirit-infused habitual grace as a helpful corrective and as a richer understanding of the dynamics of sanctification.

This chapter is a response to a friend who is working on his thesis requirement for his MA in Biblical Counseling. He asked my opinion on the necessity of a biblical counseling strategy for a local church. As I was thinking about how to respond, I thought it would be instructive to build out a mind map to show him visually what I wanted to say in written form, hoping to make a solid case for biblical counseling and the local church.

In today's episode of 15:14, Kevin Carson, Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, is joined by Janet Aucoin, Director of Women's Ministry at Faith Church in Lafayette, Indiana, and host of the Joyful Journey Podcast. Janet shares how the podcast began during the COVID era, her passion for providing women with biblically rich, practically helpful content, and the lessons she has learned over six seasons of ministry. The conversation explores the heart behind Joyful Journey's tagline—"When you choose truth, you choose joy"—and highlights Janet's commitment to helping listeners move beyond merely knowing biblical truth to faithfully applying it in everyday relationships and circumstances. Janet also offers a powerful discussion on biblical love, drawing from John 13 and the Old Testament concept of hesed. She explains how Christ's sacrificial love becomes both the foundation for our identity and the model for how we love others through suffering, sin, and life's difficult challenges. Janet is ACBC certified, teaches at Faith Community Institute, coordinates the Faith Bible Seminary Wives Fellowship, and serves as a retreat and conference speaker. She holds a B.S. in Human Resources from the University of South Florida.  As you listen, pay special attention to this incredible quote: "We love because He first loved us. Before we focus on what we need to do, we need to stand under the waterfall of Christ's love for us."  You can listen to the Joyful Journey Podcast here.   FROM OUR SPONSOR:  To learn more about an undergraduate degree in biblical counseling, go to BoyceCollege.com/1514.

Michael interviews Kevin Dau, pastor for discipleship and counseling at Hespeler Baptist Church in Cambridge, Ontario, and a practicum instructor for Heritage College and Seminary's master's level biblical counseling certificate. Dau contrasts professional counseling with pastoral counseling, where caring becomes more personal and multifaceted because counselees are also part of church life, increasing stress and highlighting human limits. Using Galatians 6:1–3, Exodus 18, and themes from Psalms, they discuss bearing one another's burdens while watching for temptation, pride, and burnout, and the need for accountability, peer support, and sometimes personal counseling for counselors. They emphasize proactive self-care, ordinary means of grace, recognizing stress signals (affect and effectiveness), building a church culture of vulnerability, and regularly asking trusted observers what they see and acting on it.00:00 Podcast intro and guest00:59 Kevin ministry roles02:10 Training counselors at Heritage03:38 Pastoral burdens and stress07:24 Needing care and counseling12:00 Accountability for shepherds18:12 Asking for help early20:34 Stress and means of grace24:55 Galatians warnings and humility26:28 Practical steps and closing
