A Word From Bob<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <\/p>\n

<\/a>You\u2019re reading Part 2 of a two-part blog mini-series on scriptural sufficiency and counselor competency. You can read Part 1 here<\/a>. Here\u2019s the question we\u2019re addressing:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Scripture is sufficient to provide wisdom for every soul issue, does that mean that every biblical counselor is always competent to address every soul issue?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In Part 1<\/a>, we define our terms: sufficiency of Scripture and counselor competency. In Part 2, we share how to assess our competency and how to assure that competent help is provided for our counselees.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve developed this two-part series from my upcoming book: Consider Your Counsel: Addressing Ten Mistakes in Our Biblical Counseling<\/em><\/a>. You can pre-order your copy here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2 Preliminary Ways to Assess Our Competency<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\u201cI agree. I\u2019m not<\/em> automatically, self-sufficiently, or independently competent to counsel this man who is hearing voices! Yet, I\u2019m a rookie counselor who believes and trusts God\u2019s sufficient Word. So, what should I do, Bob?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim should assess his competency. So should we. Here\u2019s how\u2026<\/p>\n
