Part 1 of a 2 part series. Part 1 of this series is in JBC 32:1 and Part 2 in JBC 32:2. Mike Emlet continues his discussion of three foundational categories for understanding ourselves and others. In this article, he unpacks the categories of sufferer and sinner. Scripture models taking the time to understand a person’s experience of suffering, and models winsome ways of identifying sin and calling people to faith and obedience. These teachings offer us both guidance and guardrails to help shape our love for one another.

Mike is a faculty member and counselor at CCEF, where he has served since 2001. He holds a doctor of medicine from the University of Pennsylvania and a master of divinity from Westminster Theological Seminary. Prior to joining CCEF, Mike worked as a family physician for eleven years. He has particular interests in working with ministry leaders and with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, and OCD. He has published numerous books, including CrossTalk (New Growth Press, 2009), Descriptions and Prescriptions (New Growth Press, 2017), and Saints, Sufferers, and Sinners (New Growth Press, 2021).
