In this episode, Zach & Kevin are joined by Nicole Fryling from West Michigan Wellness Group. Together, we’re kicking off our Spring mini-series called “Back to Basics.” We start our conversation by answering the question, “What is counseling?” We’ll also take a look at the biblical foundation of the entire concept of “counsel,” define the professional relationship between a counselor and a client, share how one of the most important parts of counseling takes place outside of the counselor’s office, and discuss some of the reasons that someone can benefit from professional counseling.

In this episode, Zach & Kevin are joined by Bridgett Blood to talk about how Christian singles & Christians who are dating can engage their God-given and God-wired sexuality in a healthy, Biblical, and God-honoring way. We talk about reframing this conversation from lists of “dos and don’ts” to honoring the way God created us, while still holding appropriate and Biblical boundaries. We also talk about how our sexual story is not “on pause” until or unless we get married, the difference between lust and longing, and the importance of finding our pleasure both in God and through God.
