  • #61 Biblical Counseling Part 1 with Rick Thomas
    Jun 2 2025

    The salient focus of our discussion centers on the distinct dichotomy between biblical counseling and its secular counterpart. We elucidate that biblical counseling is fundamentally the application of God's Word to the complexities of human existence, thereby fostering genuine transformation rather than mere behavioral modification. Our esteemed guest, Rick Thomas, shares insights on the historical context of counseling, highlighting that biblical counseling predates secular approaches, which have increasingly infiltrated the church's understanding of mental health. We emphasize the necessity for believers to grasp the sufficiency of Scripture in addressing life's myriad challenges, as opposed to relying solely on secular methodologies that lack a foundation in divine truth. Join us as we engage in this profound exploration of biblical counseling, aiming to equip listeners with the knowledge to discern and apply these principles in their lives.
