- Wielding Authority
Matthew 28:18-20 is Christ commanding His disciples to make disciples according to His authority. This authority is placed in His words that He taught, and believers have the ability to learn from Jesus by reading Scripture. In this episode, Dr. O and Matt talk about how the authority of Scripture plays out in the life of the believer and the biblical counselor. Biblical authority is abused to prove a point, but true discipleship uses that authority to conform believers into the image of Christ. Listen to how that difference changes lives and sets people free!

30 min - Teaching to Obey
Summertime has finally arrived! Churches become very busy, and families balance vacations with many other events. During these busy days, there might be some things that get brushed under the rug to do later. In this episode, Dr. O and Matt talk about how counseling plays itself out in discipleship as we teach disciples all that Christ has commanded us. Do not lose sight of taking time to study God's Word for the purpose of living it out and passing it on!

34 min - Worldview and Counseling
After an unintentional hiatus, Matt and Dr. O are back! It has been a busy few months for them (and will be a busy next few months). Through the busyness, every Christian carries a worldview that is influenced by the change the Holy Spirit has started in them. Many people look at this worldview and call it "old-fashioned," "outdated," or downright ignorant. However, the struggle is not with people who reject Christ. The struggle comes with the believer aligning his or her thoughts with that of Scripture. Listen to how much the Christian worldview effects every part of our lives, including how we view counseling methods.

29 min - Evangelistic Counseling (with Tim Rose)
The conversation around biblical counseling can lead to people ending up like the church Ephesus, losing our first love (Rev 2:4). While methods and data can be useful, biblical counselors should remember why they started counseling in the first place. In this Dr. O-less episode, Matt is joined by his good friend and evangelist Tim Rose to discuss evangelism and its importance in counseling. Listen to this episode and be encouraged to always have the cross as the goal in your counseling!

41 min - Untethered Feelings
There are a lot of strong emotions on display currently, and it can be hard not to also react strongly. In this episode, Dr. O and Matt talk about why being led by emotions is harmful and what should be done in order to counter that. Emotional manipulation can be easily seen when it's happening to other people, but not keeping your own emotions in check can lead you to falling into that trap. Stay focused on Jesus and lay your emotional burdens at His throne.

25 min - Three Common Tests
The Bible does not teach that life is easy, and Jesus said that we will encounter many struggles in life. These may be tests that God gives believers so that our faith may be strengthened (James 1:2-4). In this episode, Dr. O and Matt look at the life of Joseph and discuss three common tests that many people experience in their lives: persistence, patience, and purpose. Listen as they discuss how God got Joseph through these tests and what it means for believers today.

31 min - Counseling and Good Theology
Dr. O and Matt attended the ACBC Annual Conference earlier this month, and the focus was on how the Puritans gave a great example of what soul care should look like. Their commitment to God's Word has influenced countless believers over the years, but this same commitment is not present in many churches today. Good theology holds Scripture as the ultimate authority in our lives. Where was the disconnect, and how can biblical counselors reclaim this commitment? Listen to our hosts' conversation about this topic.

25 min - Engaging Counseling
One thing all Christians should arguably strive to be is engaging. We must ask this question: Am I displaying the fruit of the Spirit in my life like Jesus did? In this episode, Dr. O and Matt make their video debut and talk about what they have been up to and why counseling should be done with grace, gentleness, and love. Being an engaging Christian can go a long way, and adding that to our counseling shows how much we care for the person sitting across from us.

35 min - The Need for Training
Most churches in the United States are missing one key component for creating biblically-grounded members: proper training. The goal of theologically training pastors is for them to share that information through training church members. In this episode, Dr. O tells Matt his experience in Peru and why mission work should be paired with theological training. Pastors should train church members to train other church members, starting a movement in local churches that raise up biblical leaders and families.
