EP. 81 Interview W/Author & Professor Bob Kellemen - Gospel Centered Marriage & Family: Equipping Guides for Pastors and Counselors
In this episode, hosts, Mike, Shauna, and Jeremy talk with our special guest, Bob Kellemen to discuss his two new book series on marriage and family counseling; Gospel-Centered Marriage Counseling and Gospel-Centered Family Counseling: Equipping Guides for Pastors and Counselors. And just as the titles suggest, these books are a "must-have" for helping equip the local church and biblical counseling organizations' counselors. They discuss how to use these resources as user manuals - helping equip the counselor to equip the couple and the family to be their own best biblical counselors. Bob shares the four compass points, sustaining, healing, reconciling, and guiding to help the counselors think through the theology of marriage and family counseling as well as a methodology for equipping couples and families.
