Overview

For nearly 30 years, the Journal of Biblical Counseling (previously the Journal of Pastoral Practice) of CCEF (the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation) has provided a forum for biblical counseling’s development and application. The journal’s mission is to develop clear thinking and effective practice in biblical counseling through articles that faithfully bring the God of truth, mercy, and power to the issues faced by ministries of counseling and discipleship.

Top Highlights

“Think about shepherding. It requires a heart for people, a sound knowledge of biblical truth, and a firm grasp of the biblical story. But it also requires skills: the ability to listen; the ability to connect with people; the ability to identify what it is that people need to see, understand, and do in difficult situations; and the ability to recognize what needs to be said at any given time and the appropriate time to say it.” (Page 55)

“But more often, what I really need is a better understanding of how God describes change and how God describes our hearts and our behavior, sin, holiness, and hope.” (Page 54)

“Does your church take the situations of your people’s lives seriously, or are their struggles minimized, with change made to seem too easy? At the other end of the spectrum, do you place undue emphasis on people’s struggles and communicate hopelessness?” (Page 10)

“I had come into ministry loving people and was in a church small enough to build a mutual assumption that meaningful care assumed that everyone should have regular one to one time with their pastor.” (Page 17)

“God has both made me for relationship and redeemed me for relationship” (Page 49)
