David Powlison Examines the Unique Role of the Pastor as Counselor
A pastor inhabits multiple roles—teacher, preacher, youth leader, and counselor. Yet many church leaders feel unprepared to counsel church members who are struggling with difficult, multifaceted problems.
David Powlison reminds pastors of their unique role as the shepherds of God’s people, equipping them to apply biblical wisdom to the thoughts, values, moods, expectations, and decisions of those under their care.
- Foreword by Ed Welch, a counselor and faculty member at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF)
- Explores how pastors have a unique responsibility—and opportunities—to counsel
- Includes suggestions for further reading from CCEF
