    I love listening to podcasts whilst doing errands and housework and I am listening to so many of these episodes on repeat. So sensitive, gentle, clear, wise biblical teaching for a normal church member like me, wanting to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you so so much for making this available and also for all the recommendations for further reading.

  • Practical Biblical Help

    I just listened to the podcast on miscarriage. I’ve listened to many of these episodes but this one was so good that I knew I needed to take time to write a review. I have experienced a late term miscarriage and everything said in this podcast was perfect. It helped me in my grieving. It helped me think through how to help others. It spoke gospel truth to my broken heart. Thank you for bringing light to this topic that can be passed over as a private matter. The church needs to care for each oth... more

  • What a great resource

    As a student in a MABC program, this window into conversation with three practicing counselors is such an incredible resource. It’s also so accessible to “sufferers, sheep, and shepherds”. I have both used its wisdom in personal ministry and referred episodes to sisters struggling with specific issues. Thank you for making this!

  • Most Useful

    Thank you so much for deciding to do this series. They are efficient conversations, giving general as well as specific and storied advice. I love how the counselors on this show can quote the Scripture relevant to many problems so readily. They could be looking at notes, but through constant use may God’s Word flow that quickly from my heart as applied to personal situations. Please please do a whole series on sexual abuse.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ed Welch on Depression (Ep. 43)
Q: How should pastors respond when their congregants are depressed?
Pastors should respond with humility, speak words of life from Scripture, and invite sufferers to articulate their pain to God and others. They should acknowledge the mystery of suffering, avoid judgment, and use biblical stories (like Psalms, Job, Luke 8) to help people voice their experiences and trust in God's faithfulness.
On Anger, with Chris Moles (Ep. 38)
Q: Do you see any distinctions in the way anger shows up for men and women?
Moles notes that women often express explosive anger as victims, while men may use anger as a tactic for control. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics in their respective contexts.
On Anger, with Chris Moles (Ep. 38)
Q: What brought you into the work of helping men with anger?
Chris Moles shares that his journey began in 2000, where he was involved in developing programs for abusive men in correctional settings, which led him to recognize the complex nature of anger.
On Adultery Part 3 (Ep. 22)
Q: Can you share thoughts about kids who are trapped in the middle of this?
Basic age-appropriate disclosure of the situation helps, alongside regular offers of support and acknowledgment of their pain.
On Adultery Part 3 (Ep. 22)
Q: What are some indicators that would help someone feel more confident about staying in the relationship?
Good signs include humility, taking responsibility, and pursuing help proactively. Bad signs would be minimizing and not ending the affair.
