GROUNDWORK: When to Call a Counselor with Kris Anderson


Listen Later

Is counseling unspiritual… or essential?

In this episode of Groundwork, Pastor Mike Collins sits down with Kris Anderson, founder and clinical director of Building Bridges Christian Counseling, for an honest conversation about emotional triggers, spiritual healing, boundaries, marriage patterns, and how to know when it’s time to reach out for help.

Some Christians feel guilty seeking counseling. Others depend on it immediately. Kris helps us understand the intersection of theology, psychology, and the work of the Holy Spirit, showing that God cares deeply not only about what we think—but also about how we feel.

Whether you’re navigating conflict, feeling stuck, or simply curious about how Christian counseling works, this episode provides clarity, hope, and practical tools for real life change.

  • Why Christians disagree about counseling

  • What “triggered” really means

  • Understanding your emotional history

  • How psychology and theology overlap

  • What makes counseling distinctly Christian

  • What boundaries are—and what they’re not

  • How to break lifelong patterns

  • Steps for getting “unstuck”
