Life Over Coffee With Rick Thomas

Main Idea – In this episode, we’re taking an honest look at a subtle but serious drift in how biblical counseling is sometimes applied—specifically, the quiet replacement of parenting with counseling. What starts with good intentions can easily move into territory that undermines the very structure God put in place for child formation: the home. Together, we’ll explore the differences between counseling and parenting, the limitations of counseling young children, and how counselors can serve families without displacing parents’ authority and responsibility. We’ll also touch on the vital role extended family and mentors play in the lives of teens and how faithfulness, not efficiency, is the metric for change.
