34 Your Kingdom: The Purpose of Counseling
Many times clients have said to me, "What is the ultimate purpose of counseling anyway?" Their question is excellent because it grows out of their sense that healing alone is not enough. Deep down, we all intuitively know that we are made for more than healing and even made for more than freedom. There is an ultimate goal. There is a reason for digging into your story. It may be bigger than you think. Support the podcast

29 Forgiveness: What It Is
What is our calling with regard to forgiving those who have harmed us? If forgiveness doesn't require forgetting, what does it require? And how do I know if I've forgiven someone for harming me? These are some of the questions we explore in today's episode. The Bible's treatment of the subject of forgiveness is far more nuanced and complex than many people acknowledge. Support the podcast
