In today’s episode of 15:14, Kevin Carson, Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, is joined by Jeff Christianson - pastor, leader, and Executive Director of the International Association of Biblical Counselors, also known as IABC, and a valued member of the BCC Council Board. Jeff brings decades of ministry experience, including pastoral leadership, radio broadcasting, counselor training, university professorship, and organizational leadership within the biblical counseling movement.

In this conversation, we’ll hear about Jeff’s journey into biblical counseling, how the Lord used key influences and relationships to shape his path, and the mission and distinctives behind IABC’s training and certification work. We’ll also hear about cooperation and unity in biblical counseling, the importance of Scripture’s sufficiency in soul care, and how churches can wisely develop counseling ministries in today’s ministry landscape.

Whether you’re a pastor, counselor, or church leader, this conversation will encourage you and give you helpful perspective on the ongoing work of biblical counseling in the local church and beyond.
