Counseling Conference Week...

I arrived in Lafayette, IN today around 5:15pm or so to begin a week of intensive conference training along the lines of Biblical counseling. I am going to begin tomorrow with my third track at the Faith Baptist counseling conference. I am looking forward to it. You can either click on the link ("third track") or look below for topics of what I'll be listening to:

• Working with a Physician
• Counseling conflict from the book of James
• Counseling teens in sexual sin - pt.1
• Children of divorce
• Handling death and grief
• Heart of change 3
• ADHD
• Counseling hope for people with fatigue
• Financial concerns 1
• Steps of Marital reconciliation
• How to determine if a proposed treatment works
• True repentance
• Hermeneutics
  
• Dealing with spiritual warfare in the family
• How to counsel manipulative people
• Wisdom parenting: counseling parents in today's world
• Learning from counseling failures
• Handling the past biblically
• The far end of fear: OCD
• Living with a bitter person
• Financial concerns 2

There are also "Breakout" sessions for both men and women. This is what we refer to as drinking from the fire hydrant. Impossible to let everything set in fully - but it totally is everything I can use.

I'll try to post some things I am learning or impressed with as the week goes by.

Good news! I found a coffee shop right around the corner from the hotel!! I'll try to get a pic or two of that too!! lol...
