S12 Ep. 4 / How to Set Boundaries: Step-by-Step
We might stumble. We might misspeak. But by setting boundaries, we’re choosing love, wisdom, and peace for our relationships.

S12 Ep. 2 / Boundaries Are in the Bible
From the very beginning, God has been setting and modeling loving limits.

Have you heard that setting boundaries is a bad thing? What about loving our neighbors? In this episode, we explore God’s framework for healthy boundaries.
S11 Ep. 8 / Barriers, Delays, and the Mystery of Prayer
Sometimes prayer feels less like communion and more like confusion. We ask. We wait. We hope. And yet nothing changes. So what do we do when God seems silent, delayed, or even indifferent?

Think of guided prayer as a trellis — a structure that helps the vine of your soul grow toward God when you feel too weak or tangled to reach Him on your own.

The Immanuel Journal is built on the understanding that God is not only present with us but that He delights to be with us.
S11 Ep. 2 / The Examen Prayer
The Examen Prayer invites you to replay the past with God. It’s about daily reflection and seeing God in the ordinary.
S11 Ep. 1 / What is Prayer?
This season, we’re exploring prayer — not as performance or pressure but as God’s personal invitation to spend time with Him!
S10 Ep. 7 / You Have to Believe What I Believe
Biblical truth matters but truth without love isn’t going to be effective in our counseling!
S10 Ep. 6 / Your Body Doesn’t Matter!
Biblical counselors have often ignored the body in their counseling. But as embodied souls, understanding the physical body is so important as we walk with others towards healing!
S10 Ep. 5 / It Doesn’t Matter What I Believe!
When we’re confronted with injustice in the Church, how are we called to biblically respond?
S10 Ep. 4 / I Can Fix That!
Giving advice in the moment is a fast and easy way to resolve a challenge — at least in our minds! But when we try to fix someone else, we often cause unintended consequences.
S10 Ep. 3 / My Life Has To Be Perfect!
Are you a perfect counselor yet? Neither are we! None of us will be on this side of heaven, but we don't have to wait for perfection to be effective ministers.
S10 Ep. 2 / I Must Always Be Available!
To minister well, we need to always be available, right? Actually, setting healthy boundaries is not only beneficial for us but also for the person we’re helping!
S10 Ep. 1 / It’s All Up to Me!
So often we feel that we have to be perfect in ministry or that another person’s growth falls on our shoulders. But God doesn’t leave us with that heavy responsibility!
CONVERSATIONAL COUNSELING PODCAST
where counseling and discipleship meet
After decades of having these conversations in the counseling room and side by side over coffee with friends, we were compelled this year to create a podcast resource to inspire, equip, and train you to use your everyday conversations to connect others to the love of Christ.
Because we learn better together, we want to encourage you to gather and discuss the podcast. Simply sign up for our emails to receive conversation starting questions, visuals, and handouts for each episode.
