CCEF & Biblical Counseling

Want to know what I've been learning as I take my CCEF classes?

This month's 9Marks E-Journal is dedicated to doing just that!

These articles are by the faculty team at CCEF (Christian Counseling and Education Foundation).

Can biblical counseling draw from the Puritans? How are churches today doing at counseling? What is CCEF doing that's unique?

An interview with Tim Lane

Tim Lane talks about counseling from the pulpit, the ideal church, recovery groups, promoting discipleship, and more.


Sorting Out the Spiritual and the Physical in Counseling

An interview with Michael Emlet

Today's buzzword for marriages is "compatibility." But counselors and couples need more wisdom than that, especially as pornography attacks marriage like never before.


What Should Pastors Do with Fear, Medication & Addiction

Welch considers questions like, Should pastors give more thought to fear? Are psychiatric medications unbiblical? Should pastors keep their hands off the psychiatric issues?
