Words of Counsel – Part 1: A Biblical-Theological Foundation

Part 1 of a 2 part series. We naturally think of “counseling” as happening when two people get together for a candid conversation. But effective counseling can also take place through written words—the Bible is indisputable evidence for that! This is the first of a two-part series by Pierce Hibbs about how wise and well-written notes, emails, letters, articles, books, and other literary ways of counseling can work. This first installment gives the theological big picture of how God has designed words to work. Part 1 is in JBC 27:2 and Part 2 is in JBC 27:3.
