In this session, Fieldstone Counseling founder Jonathan Holmes discusses some core principles for caring for the abused well and understanding how abuse goes against God's intended designs and purposes for husbands and wives.

In January, Jonathan Holmes met with the ABC’s then managing director, David Anderson. Jonathan and his colleagues at ABC Alumni wanted to know if Anderson was concerned about funding cuts under a Dutton-led government. Successive Coalition governments have made cuts to the national broadcaster over decades. Now, as Peter Dutton signals he’s looking to cut anything he deems to be “waste” at the ABC, alarm bells are once again ringing. Today, chair of ABC Alumni and former host of Media Watch, Jonathan Holmes, on the Coalition’s plans for the ABC, and whether it’s possible to truly shield the national broadcaster from outside interference.

On this episode of This vs. That, we explore the fascinating tension between fear of man and fear of God with special guest Ed Welch and guest co-host Jonathan Holmes, Executive Director of Fieldstone Counseling. We trace Ed's journey of writing his influential book "When People Are Big and God Is Small," which began as a response to the codependency movement of the 1980s. Through our conversation, we discover how Ed's perspective shifted from a sharp critique of cultural trends to a more pastoral approach as he began seeing these themes everywhere in Scripture. We discuss the evolution from codependency to today's independent mindset, and explore how the fear of God isn't about being afraid, but rather about awe and reverence that draws us closer to Him. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we unpack what it means to love Jesus more than we love the approval of others. ---  Anchored Virtual provides practical help to those hurting, by anchoring their hope in Jesus, and helping others gain a better understanding of his promises.

Kids and teens face so many challenges around identity that parents and teachers don't always feel qualified to help them understand.

Jeremy is joined today by Jonathan Holmes to talk about why identity is such a hot topic today, and what it means for us as Christian parents of kids facing enormous cultural pressure. How do we give our kids a gospel-centric identity in Christ? Do we need to spend more time and effort building a family identity to combat peer-pressured identity formation? How can the church start to take back ground on gender, identity, and the Christian sexual ethic? These topics are hard to talk about, because so many people want to focus solely on the exceptions to the rule, and forgo talking about the general teaching, so it was a blessing to wrestle deeply with these issues with Jonathan. This conversation needs to be happening way more often, especially for those of us with children being impacted by an outside world heavily influenced by the enemy.

There are a ton of reasons why people walk away from God or, as some say, “lose their faith.” Very often it is related to difficulties and trials that they face which end up being too strong for them to bear. In such cases, some people despair and crack under the pressure and may even blame God for their circumstances. The fact that all of us likely know someone like this punctuates the point that we need to have our theology worked out before we face deep waters. We need to be prepared knowing that for a believer, it is possible to go from despairing of life to the worship of God. As we look at 1 Samuel 16:14 to 19:17 on Sunday, we'll see David in a precarious situation that threatened to shipwreck his relationship with God. The narrative will help us see that we can indeed trust his perfect plan. This message will also prepare us for a look at Psalm 59 next Sunday where David writes a song about the experiences we'll look at this week. Series: The Great Exchange Todd Dugard Message: 2 – From despair to worship: Part 1 Harvest Bible Chapel Text: 1 Samuel 16:14-19:17 Sept 22, 2024 To go from despairing of life to the worship of God I must… …accept that “bad” things happen to “good” people (19:1a) Why do bad things happen to good people? That only happened once, and he volunteered. R. C. Sproul …surround myself with faithful friends (19:1b-7) Matthew 10:36–37 Biblical friendship exists when two or more people, bound together by a common faith in Jesus Christ, pursue him and his kingdom with intentionality and vulnerability. Rather than serving as an end in itself, biblical friendship serves primarily to bring glory to Christ, who brought us into friendship with the Father. It is indispensable to the work of the gospel in the earth, and an essential element of what God created us for. Jonathan Holmes, The Company We Keep …acknowledge the sovereignty of God (19:8-10) Under divine providence everything ultimately was attributed to him; why not say he did it in the first place? Walter Kaiser, Hard Sayings of the Bible God brough redemption and forgiveness to anyone who would believe. It goes against all the normative patterns that we follow like power and strength are better than weakness, winning is better than losing, big is better than small, health is better than sickness, comfortable living is better than suffering, to gain is better than to suffer sacrifice and loss...The message that we proclaim, the message of the gospel, is based in a complete reversal of power and conquest. The cross of Jesus Christ, a symbol of death and shame and weakness and suffering, stands at the heart of our faith. David Barker Isaiah 53:10a Romans 8:18 Romans 8:28 …trust his perfect plan (19:11-17) Psalm 59:9

Our series on mental health has helped us understand its connection with human dignity. Though God created us as perfect, embodied beings, sin has marred the human experience holistically, not only crippling our relationship with God, but with our bodies as well. As a result, mental illness is a part of living in a broken world, but the gospel has not left us without hope. While we live in the presence of spiritual and physical brokenness, Christ has promised to redeem us, making right what has gone wrong, and that includes our bodies. In the meantime, we live in the tension of what God has already done in providing Jesus, and what he has promised to do in making all things new. And he has given us the gift of the Church and each other to help us as we walk in this world. Specifically, for those who may want specialized help, the Lord has provided counselors to assist us in the daily fight to grow in Jesus in the midst of both our spiritual and mental struggles.  Joining us on today's episode to discuss the role of counseling in the church are Jonathan Holmes and Brad Hambrick. Jonathan Holmes is the founder and executive director of Fieldstone Counseling in Northeast, Ohio. Before founding Fieldstone, he served as a pastor for 15 years. He graduated with his M.A. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and has authored and contributed to a number of books.Brad Hambrick serves as the pastor of counseling at The Summit Church in Durham, N.C. He also serves as assistant professor of biblical counseling at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, is a council member of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, and has authored several books.

One of the most pressing developmental tasks facing all of our kids is the task of identity formation. It's during the period of adolescence that the question, “Who am I?” is front and center. Because our kids are growing up in the world that pummels them with conflicting messages directing them to find their identity in what they do or how they feel, they need voices that will steer them into embracing an identity which has been given to them by the creator of life itself. I'm talking with Jonathan Holmes about his fantastic new book, Grounded in Grace: Helping Kids Build Their Identity in Christ, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

How might parents or caregivers negatively influence it? • How has the concept of personal identity evolved over the years? • What are five different yet common areas where kids tend to struggle with their identity? • How do the Scriptures speak to the problem of a child grounding their identity in their academic performance? • Why is it good news that our identity is ultimately “something we receive, not something we achieve?” • Why is it important to "connect before [we] correct" when it comes to having identity-related conversations with our children? • What role does the local church play in helping children learn how to base their identity in Christ?

I found it confronting listening to Tova O'Brien's guest this past week as she described the experiences of staying in motel emergency accommodation with a young daughter. From my relative privilege (of choosing the right parents and having things turn out ok for me so far), I find it hard to imagine being in this situation. But it's the reality for nearly 6,500 people across Aotearoa, half of whom are children.  This is an emergency, and the problem is complex. The solution will require more than simply building more houses because the underlying issues are more complex than that. Related to this is a proposal from the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) to review the building consent process in New Zealand. This is something I'd like to look at in more detail because we must get the balance right. In 2023, MBIE sought public submissions in response to an options paper on a review of the building consent system. This week MBIE published a summary of the 270 submissions received.

In Psalm 31, David cried out to God for mercy. In this sermon, Jonathan Holmes helps us to see how David was honest about his need, but he also acknowledged God's goodness and faithfulness, trusting that God would meet him in his circumstances. In the same way that David looked forward to the coming Messiah for his ultimate salvation, believers today look back at the finished work of Christ on the cross. When Christ cried out for mercy, he received none in order that all who trust in him may receive mercy in abundance. Christ bore our punishment completely so that we may claim his reward.

At the core of many of the issues facing both teens and adults is a question of identity. From confusion about gender or sexual identity to struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-worth, how we view ourselves is at the core. In this special episode, Jonathan Holmes joins us to explore the differences between a traditional view of identity and a modern one, and how a Gospel identity transcends and transforms both views, enabling us to overcome with our identity fixed in Christ.

We hope by now you've come to expect the unexpected from Sacred by Design. Sexuality and Singleness is what we are talking about today! That being said, many of you might assume the life of a single, Christian woman  means numbing and suppressing desires.Being single doesn't just mean not having sex. There is so much more. Are you willing to give God the space, as you listen to this podcast, to embrace a different perspective about your sexuality in your singleness?Acknowledge the sad, angry, frustrated feelings.Make space for the struggle in it.And, then consider bringing it all to Jesus in exchange for all He has just for you. Highlights:God wants you to be able to express how you're feeling. He's not expecting you to dampen it and push your desires down. He wants all of you. Bring it all to Him.Jesus wants to be with you as we feel your feelings. He doesn't want to turn you away.Hebrews 4:15-16 “For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin.  Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God's gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].”God has created you and empowered you to be able to know how to steward your sexual desires. Do you believe that? Can you start praying for that?Paul Tripp - “Each pleasurable thing was perfectly created and designed to reflect and point to the greater glory of the one who created it."Are you willing to come to the Lord with open hands and say, “I want Your best for me, whatever that looks like.”“Our identity as people is not dependent upon whether or not we have sex. To be fully human is not to have sex but to fully know and love others like Christ.”  Rescue Plan: Charting a Course to Restore Prisoners of Pornography; Deepak Reju and Jonathan Holmes.Help the show:Support the showAsk a question by emailing usLeave a reviewSubscribe wherever you get your podcastsFollow us on YouTube for behind the scenes and more
