I know that this probably came from the lack of adequate preparation. The last few weeks have been some pretty challenging weeks and haven't allowed for much prep time, so I don't feel that I could have done any better than I did... It is just that I really like to be prepared. And more importantly, I really like to connect with the class that I am teaching.
The people in the class didn't seem to be disoriented, which is a good sign, so it wasn't a total loss. I even had several really good comments and questions after class. Some questions about how to help someone struggling with depression opened the way for some good discussion. There was even a bit of time in class with good discussion going on.
Anyway, I thought I would update those of you who follow this blogger's life.
I would really appreciate hearing from you on my blog. I am an opponent of biblical counseling, as I think it harms the mentally ill, but I realize that many biblical counselors honestly believe they are operating with the best of intentions. I just hate the big-time b. counselors making so much money off it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can guarantee you that I don't personally know one counselor who has ever made a penny off of counseling anyone.
ReplyDeleteI looked a little bit at your site, and I have never even heard of the ministries that you are referring to... If you have had a bad experience with Biblical counseling, it wasn't because of the "Biblical" or the "counseling"
