A Word from Bob 

From October 3-5, 2025, CCEF held their annual biblical counseling conference. Their theme this year was, “To Live Is Christ: The Life and Ministry of Paul.”

As I did with the Association of Biblical Counselors’ Called to Counsel conference, I’ve asked attendees of the CCEF conference to share their reflections in guest posts. We start today with a guest post by my friend and fellow biblical counselor, Betty-Anne Van Rees.

Betty-Anne serves the local church in discipleship roles that include speaking, teaching, mentoring, counseling, and training biblical counselors.
