CO101 Introducing Pastoral Counseling I: Theory and Practice is unavailable, but you can change that!

In this introduction, Dr. Eric Johnson identifies the seven pillars of pastoral counseling, essential skills needed, and issues of human development. He emphasizes the biblical view of God and human nature so you can care for others in a way that expresses Christ’s love. This course is beneficial for anyone involved in Christian counseling.

Counseling is especially interested in the healing of damaged, sinful image-bearers who don’t resemble God as much as they could. And so Christian counseling, pastoral counseling, is interested in thinking about how to help promote the healing of our souls so that more and more we can come to manifest the glory of God, be more like Him, manifest His character more and more. And really that’s what counseling seeks to do. That’s dedicated to the glory of God.
