Description

What does the Bible have to say about caring for both body and soul? In this episode of afterWord, Pastor Kent Dresdow continues the conversation with Executive Pastors Jeremy Pray and Matt Rehrer on the foundations and distinctives of biblical counseling. Building on part one, they explore how Scripture’s sufficiency shapes our approach to life’s problems, the difference between biblical and Christian counseling, and how to navigate the interplay between physical health and spiritual care.Drawing from passages including 2 Timothy 3:16 , 1 Peter, John 9, and 2 Corinthians 4, they discuss why the Bible is not only sufficient for salvation but also for sanctification—helping believers respond faithfully to trials, whether rooted in spiritual struggle, medical diagnosis, or both. They address common misconceptions about biblical counseling, including the false notion that it ignores medicine, and emphasize the need to see physical and spiritual realities as intertwined rather than separate.Whether you are a pastor, counselor, or believer seeking clarity on how God’s Word meets us in suffering, this episode offers a biblically grounded, pastorally wise look at how to walk with others—and be counseled yourself—through the challenges of both outer-man ailments and inner-man struggles.
