The Journal of Biblical Counseling marks its 40th birthday issue, which happens to be the 100th issue published. This article offers a brief reflection on the beginning and progression of the JBC over the years as well as a discussion of the case of a counselee suffering from anxiety and depression as a new believer.

David Powlison served as CCEF’s executive director (2014-2019), a faculty member, and senior editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. He held a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary. David wrote extensively on biblical counseling and on the relationship between faith and psychology. His books Seeing with New Eyes and Speaking Truth in Love probe the implications of Scripture for how to understand people and how to counsel. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context explores the background and development of CCEF’s mission. David is survived by his wife Nan, their three children and spouses, and seven grandchildren.
