7. Directive vs. Non-Directive Counseling Pt. 2:

The Reformed Rookie Podcast

This session emphasizes the importance of behavior in determining feelings and behavior in biblical counseling, highlighting the role of the nervous system and the sanctification process in bringing about personality change. Pastor Jensen discusses the need for nouthetic counseling and the role of the Holy Spirit in changing hearts, contrasting it with the transference method used in other counseling approaches. The concept of transference in counseling is explored, with an emphasis on loving rebuke and confronting sin directly for repentance and reconciliation. The rejection of transference and Rogerian counseling theory is supported, advocating for a biblical approach that ministers the gospel to non-believers for true heart change. The discussion concludes with a prayer, emphasizing the importance of not condoning sin or justifying unethical means in counseling. 00:09 Directive counseling intro 00:59 Holy Spirit's transformative role 01:53 Behavior's impact on emotions 02:54 Analyzing Cain and Abel 04:35 Discussing misunderstood emotions 06:28 Fearing the Lord's importance 08:23 Ignoring conscience consequences 10:12 Linking psychic pain to change 13:16 Path to sanctification 16:25 Emotional vs. voluntary actions 20:09 Comparing Rogerian and directive methods 25:59 Proverbs' wisdom unveiled www.ReformedRookie.com Podcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologist Semper Reformanda!
