I
am excited to tell you about an event that is coming to the Greater Kansas City
area in March. Redeeming Grace Biblical Counseling Center of Kansas and
Reigning Grace Counseling Center of Missouri are co-hosting the area’s second
regional biblical counseling conference. This year, our conference theme is,
Bearing One Another’s Burdens Biblically (B3).
Our
B3 theme arose from a conversation my conference co-host Nathan, and I were
having once about the gravity of being burden bearers; of being invited into
the pain and suffering of another hurting human soul during a time when they
are often vulnerable and even desperate for answers. He said, “This is not a
job for professionals and experts trained in the secular philosophies of this
world, but truly it’s a calling for Christians equipped with God’s sufficient
Word.” Bearing one another’s burdens is a responsibility each of us have to
love our neighbor as we already love ourselves.
Nathan
and I agree that we are not interested in the latest gimmicks and methods of
the confused world of modern Psychology. We are firmly committed to soul
care that is solidly grounded in biblical counseling principals and methods.
Therefore, we are bringing together men and women from around the country who
share our passion for ministering to people with the Word of God in ways that
are life changing. Each of our speakers and workshop presenters are solidly
biblical in their methodology and will offer our conference attendees the help,
healing, and hope that is only available through the Lord Jesus Christ.
The
burdens our counselee’s bring to us are often heavy and are increasingly
tragic. Our excellent conference speakers will present on relevant and
relational topics to aid our conference guests in bearing the burdens of others.
We’ve asked them to present on the
issues of today, and provide an emphasis on practical application in their
workshops. We want to provide you with equipping tools to take back to your
churches and biblical counseling centers. For a complete list of speakers and
workshops please see the enclosed brochure. If you are interested in
reproducing them for mass distribution in your church, please contact our
office and we will be glad to provide you with a PDF for your convenience.
Every Christian is Spirit filled for the purpose of
helping brothers and sisters trapped by sin. Bearing one another’s burdens is a
fulfillment of Jesus’ command to love our neighbor as our self. We point
burdened people to the ultimate Burden Bearer- Jesus Christ!
Please, join us for the Bearing One Another’s Burden’s
Biblically Conference on the beautiful campus of Redeemer Presbyterian Church
in Overland Park, Kansas on March 5-7, 2015. For more information, and to
