Abstract
My future ministry will be as Co-Pastor of a medium sized Community Church in Lewisville, Texas. Each Sunday the church will have approximately 240 in attendance of Sunday morning worship service. My overarching goal for life is to live in and teach others how to grow in the hope that comes from the redemption provided by Jesus Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Ephesians 1:7)
I will be using the solution-based, short-term pastoral counseling model based on Kollar’s (2011) Solution-Focused Pastoral Counseling, and Hawkins’ Pastoral Counseling Scenario and Assessment Model. Upon reviewing the case study Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness, I have chosen Brody as the counselee who will be participating in the counseling process. Brody is a “S/I” personality type and exhibits “S” behaviors such relating best to a relaxed leader, being motivated by stability and support, and is uncomfortable with change and discipline. His “I” behavior is present in his artistic tendencies, he is inspiring and impressing. Brody also seeks the recognition that was abundant from his mother. Learning to listen better is another need from his “I” side. Brody arrives for counseling in the attending position, being withdrawn and reluctant to interact with anyone, especially his father Bruce who is frustrated with the relationship. Counseling begins as the trial is ending, bringing further frustration.
