What is biblical counseling?

Biblical counseling is discipleship. It is the personal ministry of the Word through conversation. Every Christian is called to speak the truth in love to his neighbor and help them grow in grace. Believers should desire to apply the Bible to every area of life. The goal of biblical counseling is to present everyone mature in Christ by teaching with all wisdom.

Why is training important?

Faithfulness requires equipping. You probably wouldn’t get cardiac surgery from someone with a mere interest in hearts, and you wouldn’t want your car repaired by a simple car enthusiast. In these kinds of areas, you would reach out to someone who actually knows what they are doing. The same is true for counseling. There are all sorts of people who are interested in counseling and may even be persuaded by the principles of biblical counseling, but interest and conviction alone do not make a faithful biblical counselor. Believers need to be equipped to know the Word, to understand its implications, and to apply those truths to their own hearts and the hearts and lives of others.
