Not necessarily in the church building, but not sending our people to another church or a professional counselor when there are people in the church who are willing and able to counsel/disciple them.

Both of these posts are full on good information and help us to see your heart in this ministry and what biblical counseling is to be about. They also help us all to be challenged as we seek to serve God in furthering His kingdom and to be the specific parts we are called to play. I especially think this paragraph from the first part was phenomenal in reminding us that ALL we do (not just counseling) must come back and be filtered through the lens of scripture. Scripture is the NORM that norms all other norms..! "The one thing that I would say when considering a training program would be a consideration of the hermeneutical spiral as it pertains to counseling. The hermeneutical spiral is a periodic revisiting of a biblical topic by running it back through Scripture in order to refine the topic. The more often we run our ideas through Scripture the more precision we will have of the subject." I say it again...EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!!
