This episode of 15:14 is the first of a two-part rebroadcast honoring the life and ministry of Dr. Wayne Mack. Dr. Mack was a beloved leader and teacher in the biblical counseling movement, and his impact has been felt by countless students, pastors, counselors, and believers around the world. At the Biblical Counseling Coalition, we are deeply grateful for the faithful investment Dr. Mack and his family made through decades of ministry.

Throughout his career, Dr. Mack served in many roles—as chairman of the graduate and undergraduate counseling programs at The Master’s University and Seminary in Los Angeles, as an elder at Lynnwood Baptist Church in Pretoria, South Africa, and as the Director of ACBC Africa. He was recognized at the highest level of membership in the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors and authored 28 books addressing a wide range of counseling issues.

Wayne was a devoted husband to his wife, Carol, since 1957. Together, they raised four children and welcomed into their family three daughters-in-law, one son-in-law, and many grandchildren. His legacy of faith, wisdom, and love for God’s Word will continue to encourage and equip the church. You can learn more about his ministry at mackministries.org.
