In this editorial, The Journal of Pastoral Practice celebrates its 37th issue. Jay Adams passes the editorial baton to David Powlison. Additionally, it is the last issue of the Journal to appear as The Journal of Pastoral Practice. With the next issue, the name will change to The Journal of Biblical Counseling. The editorial includes an interview between Adams and Powlison on the history and future of the Journal as a resource for pastors and counselors.

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.
