What does faithful ministry of the Word look like—both from the pulpit and across the counseling table? In this follow-up episode of afterWord, Pastor Kent Dresdow continues his conversation with Jeremy Pray and Kevin Carson, pastor of Sonrise Baptist Church in Ozark, Missouri, and Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition.Together they explore how expository preaching and biblical counseling flow from the same conviction: God’s Word is sufficient and authoritative for all of life. Kevin shares his passion for teaching Scripture with precision and clarity, rooted in passages like 1 Timothy 4, and explains why understanding a text’s meaning, significance, and application is vital in both public and private ministry.From the “scratch-and-sniff” aroma of Scripture in everyday life to the careful bridge between truth and compassion, this conversation will strengthen your confidence in the transforming power of God’s Word—whether you’re preaching, counseling, or simply seeking to apply the Bible faithfully.Hosts: Pastor Kent Dresdow and Pastor Jeremy PrayGuest: Pastor Kevin Carson (Sonrise Baptist Church, Ozark, MO; Biblical Counseling Coalition)Themes: expository preaching · biblical counseling · sufficiency of Scripture · pastoral ministry · application and wisdom · local churchNorthCreek Church Dr. Kent DresdowIn glad reliance on the Holy Spirit and Scripture, we exist for the glory of Christ, to make disciples who worship God, walk in love, and witness to the world.Sundays: 9:00AM & 10:45AM2303 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek, CA 94598https://www.northcreek.org/Church, Worship Service, All Ages Classes, Baptism, Membership, Discipleship, Children's Ministry, Students Ministry, College And Career Ministry, Adults Ministry, Outreach, Counseling, Food Pantry, Job Network, Church App, Sermons, Books And Cafe, Reading Plans, Giving, Prayer, Church Events, Men's Breakfast, Walnut Creek Church, Christian Community, Bay Area Church, northcreek church, walnut creek church, christian community, bay area church, faith based, bible study, community groups, worship music, serving others, Fellowship, Sunday School, Youth Group, Spiritual Growth, Faith Community, Volunteer Opportunities, Church Fellowship, Mission Trips, Family Ministry, Small Groups, Church Volunteering, Community Outreach, Church Gathering
