It’s Kari Gross again, and I’m back with Henry Nightingale and Christian Martin, the co-hosts of a Christian gaming podcast called Courage Wisdom Power. If you missed our first episode with them, you’ll want to be sure to go back and listen to it here.

Many pastors and elders can experience discouragement and doubt in their counseling, especially when they come face-to-face with challenging topics that cut to the foundation of faith. For this conversation, Christian is sharing one scenario counselors may face from his personal experience of deconstructing his faith and how it was restored.

In this episode, Christian and Henry discuss their personal experience with deconstruction, what it means when someone deconstructs their faith, ways we can minister to those who are deconstructing, and much more.

Many pastors and elders experience discouragement in counseling and even doubt they have the time, training, and resources to do it well. We firmly believe that people should be able to go to their church for help when they are faced with life problems.

However, when it comes to the youth of our church or even the teens in our own household, it can be challenging to instill a strong faith that will withstand the opposing views they will encounter.

For this conversation, I am joined by a couple of guests to help us understand more about teens, faith, and video games. Henry Nightingale and Christian Martin are the co-hosts of a Christian gaming podcast called Courage Wisdom Power. Through this podcast, they encourage listeners to consider how they consume and play video games from a biblical worldview.

In this episode, you’ll hear how parents and pastors can help teens grow in their faith, some of the ways we can engage secular culture, the importance of integrating youth into the church community, and much more.

Where do you send your sheep to get outside help? Who can be trusted? It’s normal to feel nervous and wonder if the advice they receive will be biblically sound.

In a past episode, we shared some behind-the-scenes of what intensive counseling was like from the perspective of the counselees and their advocate couple. Today, we are going to show you what it’s like from the counselor’s perspective.

I have the privilege of welcoming Mark Schuitema. Mark is the Executive Director of Faithful Shepherds, which specializes in providing coaching, counseling, and care for the people who are pouring their lives out in the service of others. He is also a counselor at Twelve Stones, a non-profit Biblical Counseling Ministry.

In this episode, we discuss what happens in intensive counseling, the value of intensive counseling alongside your church's biblical counseling ministry, some of the characteristics of a biblically based program, and much more.
