As believers, we should look at seasons of crisis as times of great opportunity. People in crisis are open to spiritual things. Rather than share advice based on common sense or our experience, we should minister God’s Word, helping people find answers to their struggles within Scripture.
In simple terms, biblical counseling is ministering Scripture to those who face struggles in life or who desire wisdom or God’s direction. It is based upon an understanding that God’s Word is sufficient to help people (lost or saved) in their struggles and far superior to any of the world’s wisdom so commonly used to help people.
Mid-America’s Biblical Counseling faculty, graduates, and students are leading churches to minister God’s Word to those impacted by crisis. They also lead the field of Biblical Counseling in staying true to its heritage and responding to contemporary crises with God’s love and His Word.
