Teasing Out Idolatry in Narcissism

Nov 3, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | Keith Evans

By the Lord’s grace, the true God has been known to change self-worshipping people at least a time or two: consider Manasseh (2 Chron. 33:10-16) and the Apostle Paul (Acts 9:1-19) as examples.

Apr 22, 2024 | biblicalcounselingcoalition.org | Keith Evans

Current Debates Over Integration Every generation of biblical counselors faces the recurring question of what constitutes integrating secular theories or secular practices into our system of counseling. Every few decades or thereabouts, the perennial question of “what can we integrate” or “what constitutes integration” faces the movement afresh. Seemingly, there are one of two major polarizing responses to these wrestlings: (1) circle the wagons, or (2) embrace some level of integration.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Go to Seminary

Nov 20, 2023 | thegospelcoalition.org | Keith Evans |G. K. Beale |Brett McCracken |Samuel Emadi

Editors’ note: When I took my first seminary class, I was 22 years old, fresh out of college, and had been married for just over a month. I was completely out of my depth.

It’s because I believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

While we are no Freudian psychotherapists, nor do we operate from the same base worldview, Freud put his finger on something that touches upon the human experience and counseling alike.

We must find leaders who choose the better path presented by Paul in this epistle. When they speak, we should hear words of life from our loving Father.
