I was chatting recently with a Christian counselor who said that her mentors taught her that Christian counselors should not show emotion during a counseling session. She asked me what I thought about this kind of teaching. What do you think? It is okay to cry in front of the person you’re helping? What about laughter? How does emotion relate to God and Him making us in His image?

Rick, recently you talked about how you tend to live on “military time,” and Lucia lives on “island time” and how you both have had to work through your conflicting personality traits in your marriage. You also tied this to how the gospel speaks to every area of your lives. How did you both eventually apply the gospel to your personality differences? How can the gospel help two people live in relational harmony? – Supporting Member

What is your primary way of relating to people? Do you connect superficially, or do you engage them where they live? I’m talking about reaching a person at their heart. It is imperative to reach folks at the right place so they can experience biblical transformation. If you don’t connect at the heart-level, you won’t help them become more like Christ.

The litmus test for a true Christian leader is their ability to replicate themselves into someone else. For the Christian leader, he’s exporting his Christ-life to another individual so that person can be Christlike. If a leader does not replicate himself into another, the Christian mission stops—at least in that Christian’s immediate sphere of influence. Though each of us is different, we have the same call: go, and make disciples.

One of the most natural things you will ever do is respond sinfully to the sin of another person. When you do this, it reveals a lot about how you think about yourself, the other person, and the Lord. Part of this problem is we don’t “plan for sin” to happen. I call it a lack of “budgeting sin” into our future experience. Not living in the reality of human fallenness will have tragic consequences in our lives and relationships.
