Counseling for Church Leaders offers biblical and practical encouragement to church leaders as they help the hurting. Drawing from decades of experience, Bill Bagents and Rosemary Snodgrass provide a resource that is grounded firmly in Scripture. This guide focuses on helping God's people in God's way, covering essential topics such as listening, empathy, emotional support, and self-care for the helper. The book explores why people seek counsel and provides practical strategies for handling difficult situations like anger, grief, depression, and conflict with toxic individuals. Rather than aiming to replace professional therapists, this book empowers you to use time-honoured people-helping skills to reflect the love of Christ in your ministry. Whether you are a pastor, deacon, or lay leader, you will find actionable advice to enhance your care for your congregation.
