    Couns 507 Adam and Barack critique

    Adams believes and preaches that the Word of God is all that is needed to help people change. He opposes secular counseling and states that changes that do not follow an internal change of heart toward God, moves a person further away from God (Adams, 1986, 6). How to Help People Change (Adams, 1986) is viewed by many as controversial. Many people become upset while reading the book, in fact I was a bit offended in reading the book. Adams states that “ biblical counselors must not concede that Christian counseling is in anyway dependant upon psychology for its existence” and speaks negatively about openness/multitasking (p.34). Although Adams is not too open for the integration of secular techniques, he did provide a Biblical process which is helpful in the Christian counseling/church setting. Adams approach to change can only be beneficial to those who do believe in the word of God and who are obedient to the Lord. His ridged approach will not work for us all.…

    Unchurched Mary

    This point convicted me personally. Everything Strobel says in this section astounds me. “After a while, Harry feels like a case study. If this was a real friendship… it would not be dependent on whether we succeed in bringing him to Christ” (Strobel 61). The last thing hurting a lost people want is for someone to treat them like they are their “religious science experiment”, what they really want and desire is a meaningful relationship and someone who will sincerely care about them. One evangelism tool that I found and that is mentioned in the book is small groups. I have found that it is so much easier to bring a friend to a barbeque or bowling activity, than it is to the church. If a non-believer sees the community aspect of the small group, they will eventually have their heart softened towards the church as a whole. Just as Strobel said, “Harry’s attitude softens when he sees the church not as an institution but as a caring community where his relational longings can be fulfilled” (Strobel 63). I believe that the church needs to stop viewing themselves as a “hospital for the broken” and start viewing themselves as a “helping hand to the…

    PACO 507 CP Adams TS

    David Powlison’s book, “The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context” (Powlison, 2010) highlights the historical context and impact of Jay Adams’s Positive System theory of Biblical Counseling. Adams makes three striking claims in his anti-psychiatry movement in support of counseling being a pastoral call versus a psychological practice. First, he claims that modern psychological theories perpetuate bad theology and misinterpret life’s problems. Secondly, he claims that psychotherapeutic professions are a false pastorate embarking upon tasks that rightfully belong to pastors. Thirdly, Adams claims that the Bible teaches a pastor all that is necessary to competently counsel hurting people. Adams asserts that a good seminary education rather than medical school or a degree in clinical psychology is the most fitting background for a counselor (Powlison, 2010, p. 1). His model is a counseling approach to ensure pastors that they are thoroughly equipped, through the Bible, to meet the counseling needs of parishioners despite culturally imposed qualifications.…

    Aa Meeting Research Paper

    On Sunday, March 6th, I went to an AA meeting in the Heights Vietnam Veterans Memorial Building between Manhattan and Summit Avenues in NJ, Jersey City. The meeting started around 10:30 AM and ended around 11:30 AM. Before the meeting, lots of coffee, tea and donuts were served to the people. There were about 50 people that showed up to the meeting, 35 of them were males and the other 15 were females. Most of them were either old or middle aged. The meeting consisted of a podium which had about five rows of metal folding chairs facing it. On the wall behind the podium to the left of it, was a list of the twelve steps and to the right of it, was a list of the twelve traditions. The meeting began with someone reciting the twelve steps and then with the introduction of new members. After that someone else comes up to the podium, but this time with a calendar in his hands and he goes over the upcoming events. The meeting ended with everyone quietly listening to Billy’s and George’s life stories.…

    The option of spirituality seeks to maintain a more holistic approach to dealing with alcohol addiction and recovery, but participants can opt out if they prefer a secular approach. Becoming an active participant of the self-help groups was highlighted as necessary to impart knowledge, and one’s decision to attend the sessions indicated their willingness to change. The support offered cannot be ignored since any change needs to be sustained and have a positive influence in the long term.
