I don't have years of training in counseling. How can I deal with the multiple needs of believers in today's world? Pastors, teachers, and other Christian leaders who deeply desire to minister to the needs of hurting people, frequently voice their feelings of inadequacy in handling the myriad of problems in their congregations and groups. Many Christians are trying to overcome past issues such as abuse in childhood, broken homes, and parental addictions. Other face current obstacles such as marriage and family problems, substance abuse, depression, and phobias. As these believers turn to church leadership for counseling, we as leaders must provide biblically sound direction for them. From my own experience as a professional counselor, I have found that Temperament Therapy is an excellent tool for equipping clergy and laity to become competent counselors to the Body of Christ.
