Counseling the Hard Cases
August 1-2, 2013

Join Drs. Stuart Scott and Heath Lambert as they teach Counseling the Hard Cases on August 1-2, 2013 for one of our forthcoming Alumni Academy courses. This class will flow from their recently published work Counseling the Hard Cases: True Stories Illustrating the Sufficiency of God’s Resources in Scripture.

The class will be a study of the sufficiency of the Bible as a resource for handling counseling problems.  Scott and Lambert will demonstrate Scripture’s competency to speak to the most difficult and complex counseling problems, which are theological at heart.  Because of Scripture’s sufficiency in this regard pastors and counselors can be assured that Scripture contains all things necessary for counseling the hard cases in counseling ministry.  Participants will come to understand that Scripture is relevant to the counseling task, and that the grace of Christ in Scripture ensures help in even the most difficult issues of life.  This Alumni Academy will not deal in theological abstractions but will demonstrate how the sufficiency of Scripture relates to real people and impacts your ministry. If you are interested in how the proverbial “rubber meets the road” then this Alumni Academy will be immensely valuable.
