VIDEO: The Biblical Counseling Movement by David Powlison
Beginning in the late 1960s, a biblical counseling movement sought to reclaim counseling for the church. It aimed to provide a coherently Christian alternative to mainstream psychiatry and psychotherapy. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context is an informative and thought-provoking account of that movement. How did it begin and develop? What were the defining ideas? Where were the tension points and struggles, both internally and with evangelical psychotherapists? David Powlison's historical account combines careful scholarship with a unique, eyewitness insight.

"If ministry is speaking truth in love, we tend to be stronger on the speaking in truth than on the love." - David Powlison
No one knows the history of the modern biblical counseling movement better than David Powlison. In fact, he's written the book on it (literally--it will be out later this year). In the video below, David shares his insights about two goals thinks the biblical counseling movement should target as it seeks to serve the Lord, the church, and God's people better in the years to come.

CrossTalk: Where Life and Scripture Meet
Announcing a New Book by Mike Emlet
A Remedy for “Take Two Verses and Call Me in the Morning”
Mike Emlet knows that Christians struggle with real life problems—and he believes the Bible offers divine wisdom for life’s challenges. But he discovered that effectively applying ancient Scripture to modern life is challenging, sometimes resulting in simplistic prescriptions, which resemble “Take two verses and call me in the morning.” So, Mike wrote the new book CrossTalk: Where Life & Scripture Meet to give Christians the tools to bridge the gap between the Bible and the everyday struggles of contemporary life. He provides not only specific guidelines for using Scripture in ministry, but also illustrates how it might look, by providing case studies of Scripture effectively applied to life struggles.
