In this episode hosts, Michael, Shauna, and Jeremy discuss all the details of The 2023 Called To Counsel Conference. We're excited about this year's conference with all of our speakers and new track introductions. Register HERE CALLED TO COUNSELApril 27-29, 2023Doxology Bible ChurchFort Worth, TXPlenary SessionsEsteeming God's Graces in CounselingFor the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace in time of need.Hebrews 4:12-16Plenary One: God's Word and Gaze in Life and Counseling (v.12-13) - Jeremy LelekPlenary Two: The Ascended Savior and Instilling Hope (v.14) - Jeremy PierrePlenary Three: The  Heart of Christ in Our Weaknesses (v.15) - Tim ChalliesPlenary Four: God's Sanctuary of Mercy and Grace (v.16) - John HendersonPre-ConferenceCounseling through ProverbsPre-Conference 1: "Wisdom in Responding to Fools" - Brad HambrickPre-Conference 2: "Discernment: A Matter of the Heart" - Alasdair GrovesPre-Conference 3: "Growing in Discerning: Wisdom vs. Foolishness" - Julie LowePre-Conference 4: "Wisdom from Anger" - Mark VroegopTrack OptionsABC offers specialized tracks taught by leading practitioners in the field.

Show Notes:In this episode hosts, Mike and Shauna are joined by special guest, Todd Hardin to discuss his contribution to the "Counseling Through The Psalms". An ABC Resource is designed to help counselors use the psalms in a session and out of session. With Psalm 77, Todd explains how he'd use it to help counselees reorient the scenes of their story into God's story with three movements of the text, how the psalmist recites his story, then remembering God's story and his faithfulness, and then the psalmist retells his story in light of God's story. Seeing the movements of the psalm will encourage counselees to see their story through God's story. Show Resources:The Cry of the Soul - Dan AllenderThe Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions About GodSoul Physicians - Bob KellemenSoul Physicians: A Theology of Soul Care and Spiritual DirectionCounseling through the Psalms - ABC Resource
