The Enneagram and the Biblical Counselor by Rhenn Cherry Pdf

Personality tests have been around for quite a while, and many counselors have uncertainty about whether or not personality typing is appropriate for use in biblical counseling. The Enneagram is currently the most popular personality typing system among evangelical Christians. It has been promoted as an ancient tool that contains spiritual wisdom. But what are the theological roots of the Enneagram, and how do these foundations affect the decision to accept or reject the Enneagram? Should Christians embrace and employ the Enneagram as a ministry tool, or are there dangers associated with its use within the church and Christian institutions?

Enneagram Theology by Rhenn Cherry Pdf

The enneagram has become popular among evangelical Christians as a spiritualized personality typology that claims to help people better understand themselves and others. Several influential evangelical Christian leadership ministries have promoted the enneagram as a tool in forming and maintaining effective ministry teams, and the personality typology is now taught and embraced at several Christian universities. But uncertainty exists about the appropriateness of referring to the Enneagram as a Christian tool. Are pastors and Christian institutional leaders aware of the theology associated with the Enneagram? Enneagram Theology: Is It Christian? provides a biblical critique of the Enneagram's underlying theology and exposes not only its foundational theological contradictions with orthodox evangelical theology but also some potential dangers to the church.

Grace-Based Counseling by Richard A. Fowler, EdD,Natalie Ford, PhD Pdf

You speak God’s truth when you counsel. But do you also communicate His grace? The Christian counselor or pastor plays an important role in helping people process the trauma they’ve experienced. Too often, a client leaves the counselor’s office with feelings of guilt and shame. They feel the heavy burden of what they did wrong. But somehow, they’ve missed the grace of God that makes things right again. A counseling model that stays true to a biblical worldview will overflow with grace . . . not cheap grace, but real grace that acknowledges sin while offering a hopeful path to redemption and healing. In Grace-Based Counseling, professional counselors Richard Fowler and Natalie Ford offer a model that blends the truths of Scripture, the science of psychology, and the everlasting hope of the gospel. In this book you will find: New, grace-based counseling model Detailed application of the model, with case studies Practical toolbox with surveys, assessments, and counseling helps A Christian counseling model can’t just be about admonishment. That approach only leads to shame and human efforts that are doomed to fail. But when the gospel is brought to bear in the counseling relationship, real life change is possible. Then the counselor becomes an instrument of divine grace in the hands of a faithful God.

Guiding Principles for Biblical Counseling by Rev Daniel W Blair Pdf

When did we start referring our brothers and sisters to the world for counseling? When did Christian counselors stop believing that His Word had everything we need for life and godliness? When did they start going to the world for their guidance and approved methodology for counseling? Psychiatry and psychology have consistently asserted that people should be “salvaged” from the chains of religious upbringing and moral restraint. However, studies show positive moral and emotional benefits for those with religious faith. Churches and parishioners taking back control of their religions from psychiatry and psychology will accomplish the return to a morally and spiritually strong society. This is a very practical book not only for lay leaders and pastoral counselors, but for every Christian who desires to help their brethren who has suffered under the hands of secular psychology and psychiatric drug addiction.

The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life by Jeremy Pierre Pdf

Our approach to counseling and personal ministry is often lopsided—we treat people as minds to be taught or problems to be fixed, moving too quickly toward applying biblical solutions without taking the time to love people well and understand their experiences and hurts. The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life provides a comprehensive view of how the heart works and how Christ redeems it. Pierre’s faith-centered understanding of people combines with a Word-centered methodology to give readers a practical way to help others better understand their tough experiences and who they are in light of who Jesus is. Pierre guides readers through four key activities—reading, reflecting, relating, and renewing—that will consistently position them to understand everyday human experiences in light of Scripture. Pierre exposes the false dichotomy between the spiritual and seemingly unspiritual parts of the human experience, showing how every thought, feeling, and choice actually expresses the spiritual activity of the heart. He shows how faith in Christ is the means by which the heart begins to respond differently. Faith is not only the entry point for heart change, but also an expression of our everyday, ongoing need for Christ. Pierre’s holistic view of counseling—forged by his experiences as a counselor, pastor, and seminary professor—equips readers to understand how everyday beliefs, desires, and commitments shape how we respond to life’s biggest struggles and how an active relationship of trust in God is the foundation for lifelong change.

Biblical Counseling Without Psychology by Rebekah Prewitt Pdf

The ministry of counseling is a ministry assigned to the Church. Even though the Lord “hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness,” the Church has been intimidated, swindled, and riddled with the influence of secular psychology and compromised counselors. As a result, she is almost powerless to deal properly with the problems of man. In this practical and one of a kind book which does not draw upon clinical and counseling psychology and psychiatry, the reader will be reintroduced to the pure spiritual means Christ has given to His Church to do the work of counseling. Christians serving or intending to serve in the counseling ministry will find useful answers to topics such as: Qualifications, Training, Authority, and Work of the Biblical Counselor Dealing with Clients Four Types of Clients the Bible Addresses Dealing With Clients Who Are Part of a Cult Arguments Clients Present and How to Handle Them Preparing for Sessions Frequent Cases: Adultery, Unruly Children, Addictions etc. Counseling Under the Authority of the Church Meeting with the Opposite Sex Charging for Counseling Why One Should Not Acquire State Licensure or Join Associations Assessing Clients and much more... May the uncompromising ministry of counseling once again flourish in its simplicity and power through the body of Christ to God’s glory as He intended!
