The course provides a method of connecting the truths of Scripture to the lives of people encountered in ministry. It helps students answer the question of how the personal stories of people for whom they are caring intersect with God\u2019s story. The objective is to know how to love people better in practical ways. While this course builds on <em>Foundations of Christian Counseling<\/em> (CM 331A\/531A), that course is not a prerequisite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Counseling in the Local Church: <span class=\"subtitle\">Pathways to Biblical Change<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CM 331C\/531C \u30fc2 credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is designed to help pastors, church leaders, or lay members create within their churches a culture of mutual care, practical help, and spiritual growth. This culture is not limited to the counseling room or the pastor\u2019s study but finds expression in hospitality, small group interactions, preaching, discipline, crisis interventions, conflict resolution, and evangelism. The course focuses on practical implementations of the principles taught in <em>Foundations of Christian Counseling<\/em> (CM 331A\/531A) and <em>Methods of Biblical Change<\/em> (CM 331B\/531B) within the life of the local church. Neither of those courses, however, is a prerequisite for this course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topics in Christian Counseling: <span class=\"subtitle\">Strategies for Change<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CM 331D\/531D \u30fc2 credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course addresses a number of situations and challenges that counselors are likely to face. The course examines these through the lens of Scripture and in the light of the resources God provides through his word, his Spirit, and his people. Topics may include anxiety, depression, death from overwork <em>(kar\u014dshi)<\/em>, singleness, fear, shame, anger, loneliness, sexual sin, addiction, physical or sexual abuse, self-isolation <em>(hikikomori)<\/em>, unwanted pregnancy, bullying <em>(ijime)<\/em>, and suicide.
