Biblical counselors,
Don’t let manipulative name calling discourage you. Don’t be intimidated by all the quotes of famous theologians marshaled as weapons to attack.
Rather speak of your position like Paul does, we hold these truths in jars of clay (2 Cor 4:7, Matt 26:41) Don’t

People act like “mental health therapists” actually deal with some physical aspect of the body. In truth they try to deal with what the Bible calls the heart. Only Scripture is sufficient for dealing with the heart.

The pushback on this has been eye opening.
People: “Men control yourselves” me: “ok I’ll put systems in place for everyone’s comfort.”
People: “No, not like that!”
People: "if you get accused we will believe them"

I learned many lessons from him. The foremost to be faithful to the Word no matter what else.

It is always interesting to me how the charge against Biblical Counselors is that they are dangerous and doing harm. Yet they fail to see that the psycho-therapeutic has not improved anything and in fact I think the evidence is that we are worse off since Freud. But anyone who

The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart; but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.

Hitting the nail on the head!
"Mental health" is the ruse by which public schools will position teachers as proxy parents for students, thereby usurping parental authority so as to remake these children into their own woke image.

Why I am concerned about “Trauma-Informed Care”
1) Ambiguous definitions.
2) Pragmatic assumptions
3) Agenda driven
4) Lack of Scientific Evidence
5) Constantly Changing

I am thankful that this conversation is being had. Albeit with too much vitriol. I wish I had known about these views 10+ years ago, I thought my only option was the VA and it almost killed me, and it killed many of my friends. Maybe we should ask ourselves is the system helping?

If we are committed to the sufficiency of Scripture in biblical counseling, why would we define the nature and practice of our counseling by any standard outside of Scripture?

Let me see if I can understand. Christians hosted an anti-Christian Nationalism movie night, at the Capitol? Which was highly applauded by non-Christians?
If this keeps up I might catch a case of the Christian Nationalism.
1/5 Last night, Christians Against Christian Nationalism hosted a special event at the U.S. Capitol: the *first* screening of GOD & COUNTRY.
After the film, I moderated Q&A w/ producer
@RobReiner
and director
@dpartland
about the threat of
#ChristianNationalism
to our democracy.
