Throwback Thursday: Giving Pastoral Counsel
Note: This was published September 19, 2019. ~ Ed.
I have to admit that, when I came out of seminary, I was woefully unprepared to give pastoral counsel. I don’t blame the seminary in this because I’m not sure what course of study they could have offered that would have prepared me for it. And while I’m not sure that any particular class at the seminary could have prepared me for it, I have come to think that there are specific things one can do that the “man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim 3:17).
