  • Awful interviewer

    You never shut up. You always interrupt your own questions with about 10 other comma slices. Ask a question shut up and hear the answer. Repeat.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TIL 572: Motivating Counselees to Forgive (feat. Jacob Elwart)
Q: How can we motivate counselees to forgive when they are deeply hurt?
Motivation comes from acknowledging God's forgiveness of us through the Gospel, remembering the immense debt we've been forgiven, and contrasted with the much smaller offenses we receive from others, which should propel a generous forgiveness toward them.
TIL 572: Motivating Counselees to Forgive (feat. Jacob Elwart)
Q: What makes forgiveness such an important issue to help people with in the counseling room?
Forgiveness is essential because it addresses the relational and spiritual damage caused by sin, shifts the counselee from bitterness toward Christlike mercy, and aligns their responses with biblical commands to be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving just as God has forgiven them.
TIL 571: Counseling from the Crook in the Lot (feat. Tim Keeter)
Q: What practical steps does Boston's framework suggest for a person who is desperately seeking relief from hardship?
The approach encourages pausing superficial entreaties for relief, embracing a posture of obedience, patience, and prayer, while relying on the community of believers and God's timing for eventual relief or transformation.
TIL 571: Counseling from the Crook in the Lot (feat. Tim Keeter)
Q: How does Ecclesiastes 7.13 guide the way we counsel someone in the midst of a long-term trial?
The discussion centers on acknowledging God's work and reframing one's circumstances as part of a larger divine plan, which guides counselees to stop resisting what God has decreed and to look for growth and trust through the trial.
TIL 571: Counseling from the Crook in the Lot (feat. Tim Keeter)
Q: Tim, could you summarize what makes The Crook in the Lot distinctive and why it remains relevant for counselors today?
Tim explains that the book is a pastoral, not merely academic, work that frames trials as part of God's providence. He emphasizes that recognizing sovereignty helps believers avoid unproductive striving and instead pursue faithful obedience, which brings lasting spiritual growth.
