EP. 87 Gospel For Real Life Series - God's Attributes: Rest For Life's Problems W/Pastor of Counseling Brad Hambrick

Episode Summary: 
In this episode, hosts, Mike, Shauna, and Jeremy are joined by our special guest - Brad Hambrick. To discuss his booklet, God's Attributes. They discuss how a proper understanding of God is vital.  However, many times what we observe from our own experiences (especially when they are difficult and painful) can affect the shape of that understanding.  How do we know whether we have a true, balanced view of God?
This study looks at sixteen attributes of God, grouped under the headings of his love, essence, wisdom, and power, to help challenge your understanding.  It goes on to challenge how well you rest in each attribute (have faith and comfort in it) and emulate it in the struggles and experiences of your own life.  So learn, through your struggles, about the One who gives those struggles meaning.

Gospel for Real Life Series: God's Attributes - Rest For Life's Struggles:

1. Learning God’s attributes is a foundational truth that all of us should teaching in counseling, so we obviously love this booklet and can be a favorite resource for every counseling session.
What stirred your heart to write it?
2. You start off the book with this idea of ‘From life to God’, will share more about that with us.
3. You’ve created a chart ‘as a circle’ to help explain how to have a balanced view of God, with
four quadrants; Love, Essence, Wisdom & Power. Can you explain more about that?
4. How could the pastor or counselor use this chart as a tool in a session?
5. You’ve provided in the book a weekly devotional with daily scripture readings within that
topic, why was this important to include in the book?
6. How would a pastor or biblical counselor use this as a resource in counseling?
