Our hope is not just in this world and what you can have in the here and now. But everything we do and say, the definition of who we're speaking to, what we're talking about, the foundation that we stand on and the hope that we give starts in a foundational understanding of who we are and what God created.
What happens when you bring together three experts to discuss mental illness from a biblical perspective? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw sits down with Dr. Daniel Berger and Pastor Steve Ham to lay the groundwork for the 2021 Grace Fellowship Church Counseling and Discipleship Training. This conversation is part one of a series that aims to deepen your understanding of biblical counseling principles. Dr.
Shaw, Director of Counseling at Grace Fellowship Church, teams up with Dr. Berger, Pastor of Faith Fellowship Church, and Pastor Ham of Hyde Park Baptist Church to explore crucial topics like anthropology, theology, and epistemology. They delve into the importance of biblical creation, the devil's tactics in undermining fundamental beliefs, and the sufficiency of scripture in counseling.
The trio also discusses the observable nature of behavior, how to distinguish between biological causes and behavioral choices, and the significance of defending the image of God. With a mix of scholarly insights and practical advice, this episode offers a rich dialogue that sets the stage for the Advanced Track of the conference. Whether you're a counselor, a person of faith, or someone interested in mental health, this episode provides valuable perspectives on integrating biblical principles into mental health practices.
