Counseling

Now What?

Posted on by Dan Dodds

14597459347_3549b38d96_zOver the course of years in counseling I have come across various articles that are ‘keepers.’ One of those articles is by David Powlison of the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation.

The article is entitled “The Ambiguously Cured Soul” and it deals with the question of how we address those who have spiritually improved through ambiguous means. That is, what do you say to someone who had overcome an obstacle through counsel that is not biblical? Should you say anything?

Though the answer given to the question is worth the read, I found Powlison’s description of the counsel given vs. the counsel that should have been given, fascinating. He illustrates well the difference between what I would call Christian counseling and Biblical counseling. What’s the difference? Read the article! You can find it here. The Ambiguously Cured Soul
