2 – THEOLOGICAL TRAINING
Biblical counseling training operates from the assumption that you already have substantial theological training. If the counseling is biblical, it pulls from the Bible.
The implication is clear: the more robust your theological foundation, the more substantial your application of theology or biblical counseling will be. The “Theological Pyramid” illustrates (find graphic in the article) the importance of sound theology.
Notice how practical theology (biblical counseling) and its exportation of it are at the top of the pyramid. Everything under practical theology speaks to the essentialness of theology. Your more critical training degree should be theological. https://lifeovercoffee.com/10-things-to-consider-if-you-want-to-be-a-counselor/

Focus on the Cause, not the Effect, so you can remove the cause and not be affected by the effect.
A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.
Worship is part of what it means to be image-bearers. Who could do otherwise? The better question is, “What or whom do we worship?” https://lifeovercoffee.com/three-characteristics-of-a-fantastic-local-church/
Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.
Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/
