EP. 29 Launching A Biblical Counseling Ministry In A Established Church W/Pastor Andy Swart

Episode Notes

Moving from Planting (Metro Church) to an already established church (The Mount).

Creating an environment that allows people to struggle, starting from the platform.

Truth Renewed isn’t a replacement for the church regarding counseling, but an overflow of care.

Truth Renewed is a training center to help equip church leaders to become biblical counselors and launch biblical counseling in the local church.

Trident of ministry; robust theology, organization strategy, counsel and care.

In the same way, we raise up leaders to make Sunday happen, we need to raise up care leaders for the rest of the week - where ministry lives.

Don’t stop plowing, it takes time to bring life change and equipping the saints.

Trust the process of sanctification.

Find those in your congregation who are gifted in caring for others, they’re serious about God’s Word and the process of transformation, and scholarship them.

Find a line item in your budget to cultivate the saints in soul care.

The posture of a pastor should be a leader of learning.

Sunday morning is to edify the saints.
