Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF)

When someone is grieving, how do we respond in ways that are helpful, not hurtful? Ed Welch proposes that two things are foundational: humility and compassion, which we learn from Jesus himself. In his book, Someone I Know Is Grieving, Welch leans on his many years of counseling grieving people to help readers learn from their compassionate Savior how to respond to people’s sadness and hard times without advice or trying to “fix it,” but to instead hear their story, learn from others’ experiences, and depend on the Spirit for wisdom.

New blog by Lauren Whitman! "We Are All Late Bloomers." Read it here: https://lnkd.in/efGhPg9j "The pace of my growth is not entirely up to me. Yes, I am to run this race with endurance. But the Lord is the author and perfecter of my faith, and with that truth comes the understanding that he, too, is involved in the pace of my growth." #ccef #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #christian #counseling #sanctification
