Bryan is the executive director of Hope Counseling Services and brings a wealth of experience to the subject of biblical counseling. In this episode, we talked with Bryan about the role of the senses in counseling. Sometimes we can focus a lot on the immaterial and spiritual aspects of the human heart, but we are embodied souls that are influenced through the senses. Bryan shares his thoughts on how we can pay more attention to this in our counseling practices .

We are joined by Kelly Kapic (author of You're Only Human) and Liz Hall to discuss suffering and its meaning. Many (if not all) of us can identify with physical suffering in some form, and it is often challenging to know the purpose God has for these things. Kelly and Liz help us explore what meaning there may be in this suffering and how to ask better questions in the midst of pain.
