  • Biblical yet legalistic

    Listening to a few of these podcast, reminded me of when I attended the masters University associated with John MacArthur 20 years ago. There are some good biblical principles however these get confused with how we live out our sanctification under the power of the Holy Spirit. A lot of people in these camps denied the present ministry the Holy Spirit, and therefore have to rely on a perfect paradigm and a methodology to change people.

  • Biblical wisdom for everyday believers

    This podcast is an incredible resource not only to Biblical counselors but for those who are attempting to deal with their own problems biblically along with the problems of others that they care deeply about. Dr. Johnson and his guests are excellent and provide a thoroughly Biblical take on current issues. I am grateful for their firm stance upon the sufficiency of God’s Word and the compassion that they bring to the topics they discuss.

  • 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 575: Counseling Toward Commitment (feat. Keith Evans)
Q: How does Paul's approach model counseling toward gospel obedience without manipulation or undue pressure?
Paul refrains from coercive tactics and instead appeals as a brother in Christ, using sincere affirmation and a well-considered request to motivate transformation rather than manipulation. This approach highlights the counselor's aim to restore and empower the counselee to choose what is right out of genuine faith and love for Christ, rather than through authority or threats.
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.
