From Counseling to Church Hurt: Honest Answers for the Church Today with Darrell Harrison

About this episode

Ethan Jago and Darrell Harrison address questions from 5 Bridges Church about counseling, church hurt, and biblical living.

In this episode, Ethan Jago sits down with Darrell Harrison for a time of questions and answers. Members from 5 Bridges Church submitted questions for Ethan and Darrell to address, and together they take the time to respond thoughtfully to each one. Our prayer is that this conversation serves as a helpful resource for all believers who may be wrestling with similar issues. Here are the questions discussed in order: What is the difference between biblical counseling and regular counseling? Conviction vs. condemnation—how can we distinguish between the two? How should we respond to church hurt? How do we think biblically about self-deprecating tendencies? How should teenagers approach dating? What are some key parenting challenges, and how do we navigate them biblically? If you haven't already, listen and subscribe to Darrells podcast with Virgil Walker 👉 Just Thinking Podcast
