A Material Definition of Biblical Counseling

Psychological Counseling

Combines human observations with human wisdom to construct a system of counseling to help man deal with his problems and issues of life. This type of counseling is generally practiced by non-believers and Christians who accept psychological theories as an avenue to help people.

Integration Counseling

Combines human observation, human wisdom, and the Bible to construct a system of counseling to help man deal with his problems and issues of life.

This is sometimes called “Christian Counseling.” This type of counseling is generally practiced by Christians who believe the Bible should be supplemented with psychological theories in order to help people.

Biblical Counseling

Uses the Bible to construct a system of counseling to help man deal with his non-physical or immaterial problems of life. This type of counseling is generally practiced by Christians who believe that the Bible has all we need to provide solutions to man’s non-physical, or immaterial problems as well as what the world calls “psychological” problems. They also believe that the Bible can help man function as God intended in life.

Definition of Biblical Counseling

Biblical counseling can be defined as “using the Word of God (the Bible) within the context it was written to provide solutions and the application of those solutions to non-organic, immaterial, spiritual, and what the world calls ‘psychological’ or ‘mental disorder’ problems.” The Word of God is used in a precise and efficient manner to address these matters. The Word of God is used anticipating the salvation of sinners and the sanctification of saints as a result. Biblical counseling can also be defined as “using the Word of God to give comprehensive answers to non-physical problems on a small group level or one-on-one interpersonal level.”

In essence, biblical counseling is applied biblical systematic theology. It is the practical ministry that comes out of knowing and understanding the Bible and the theology of the Bible. Biblical Counseling is the practical, comprehensive ministry of soul care that comes out of knowing, understanding, and applying biblical

We have been warned in Scripture not to pursue human wisdom for our insights for living.

We are warned in Scripture not to trust human wisdom for principles for living, understanding of human attitudes, motives, behaviors, and our solution for man’s inner problems (problems that are non-organic in nature).

See Psalm 1:1—2 and Colossians 2:8.

We are warned in Scripture not to trust our own wisdom because we can be deceived by our own wisdom.

See Proverbs 3:5—6; 14:12; 16:2, 25; 21:2, and Jeremiah 17:9.

We are instructed in Scripture that God’s wisdom is superior to man’s wisdom. Therefore, man’s wisdom should not be added to God’s wisdom as solutions to man’s inner problems (Problems that are non-organic in nature).

See 1Corinthians 1:21, 25; 2:2—5; 3:20, and Isaiah 55:8—11.

We are instructed in Scripture that God’s wisdom is sufficient to counsel the inner person (the immaterial aspect of man). See Psalm 119:24, 99, 100, Hebrews 4:12, and Psalm 19:7—11

Deaf Biblical Counseling

2.7 Million Veterans Have Service-Connected Hearing Disabilities or Are in Treatment for Hearing-Related Issues

60,000 Military Members Are on Disability for Hearing Loss From Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom

These staggering facts from the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) and the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, combined with exacerbation of PTS and existing need for treatment through Certified Biblical Counseling has led Fallen Soldiers March to an important and exciting partnership with Deaf Biblical Counseling.

Fellowship of Biblical Counselors (FBC)

The goal of FBC in certifying Training Centers is to bring biblical counseling under the authority of the local church. Directors of FBC Training Centers serve under the oversight of local church pastors/elders. FBC offers fellowship among men and women committed to Spirit-filled living, upholding the Word of God as all-sufficient and authoritative for life and godliness, and relying solely on the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ .

Institute of Biblical Counseling & Discipleship (IBCD)

Originally founded in 1982 as CCEF West, IBCD exists to strengthen churches in oneanother care through training resources and events. They serve organizations and individuals who share a passion to see believers equipped through life’s struggles with the Word of God, doing this by offering training, as well as offering counseling resources, events and free resources that are helpful to anyone interested in learning how to better help others.

ACBC, IABC & TILBCC Certification

Association of Certified Biblical Counselors

ACBC exists to equip you to minister the Bible faithfully to those all around you who are in need of God’s truth. Our biblically grounded certification process is made up of three phases include Learning, Exams & Evaluations concluding with Supervision.

Truth In Love Biblical Training Center

OUR MISSION: To make practical, systematic, and historically consistent Bible training and education available and affordable to everyday believers in order to equip the saints for the ministry to which God has called each of them.

International Association of Biblical Counselors

A primary philosophical precept of IABC is that it is impossible to mix psychology with the Bible and remain true to God’s Word.

We genuinely believe that the Bible provides all the information necessary for the healing of the heart, soul, mind, and spirit of God’s children (2 Peter 1:3) as we allow the Holy Spirit to work.

We are also here to serve the church by providing resources for biblical, Christ-centered education that many churches and ministries would like to but are unable to provide.

Preliminary Data

As the Fallen Soldiers March network of counseling grew, we immediately recognized the need to monitor and track the progress of both counselees and counselors.

Discussions with Dr. Bob Olender, the creator of Biblicare, resulted in both his desire to join the Fallen Soldiers March Senior Advisory Board and a generous donation to help us deploy and train counselors on the Biblicare software package.

While we are still adding data and documenting both current cases and previous cases, the data and insight we have achieved from Biblicare show both the immense need and value of these services.

MO firmly believes in the sufficiency of Scripture and the roles of the local church, prayer, and accountability in living a purposeful, content life. The continued discipleship process, also referred to as Aftercare , is vital to ensuring a graduate is successful and supported upon returning to his or her daily life. Professional and longterm care is critically important for those who need it. When a cohort graduates from a MO one-week intensive Legacy program, at the request of the Legacy Program graduate, MO session mentors contact FSM and assist the graduate in requesting an aftercare program follow-up in the form of biblical counseling. FSM’s MO Coordinator then works to pair each graduate with a biblical counselor. The FSM MO coordinator initially searches for a counselor who is near the graduate in order to facilitate face-to-face counseling. When that objective is not possible, the FSM coordinator identifies a counselor who will counsel remotely via Zoom or Skype. FSM will also facilitate for graduates needing assistance with Biblical, which is the software management tool. FSM uses Biblical software to keep track of the counseling that all 80+ FSM counselors are gifting.

We will continue to update this data but these are our current estimates

Male counselors are assigned to men, and female counselors are assigned to women. For marriage counseling, male counselors are assigned and, when possible, both a male and female counselor are assigned to a marrie d couple. The FSM counselor then meets regularly, usually weekly, with the MO Legacy graduate for as long as it takes to help the graduate deal with his or her issues biblically. FSM is committed to ACBC and IABC standards that reinforce MO’s objective that each graduate become s part of a local church body and attends regularly.

Some of this data has been extrapolated from existing cases and represents averages across all cases. Each case is unique and may require more or less time with a counselor; in many cases the initial individual counseling will also evolve into whole family or marital counseling.

Quarterly Newsletters

Each quarter Fallen Soldiers March distributes an e-mail newsletter to subscribers and also publishes the articles online. These articles are contributed by Advisory Board members as well as other thought leaders in the Biblical Counseling community and others touched by the efforts of Fallen Soldiers March.

Early on we recognized the traditional social media outlets were not a reliable communication channel for our message.

Our views are firmly grounded in Christian beliefs and values, and often conflict with “cancel culture.” Although we seek to always act and communicate with equal parts compassion and conviction, even the basic idea that the Bible is inspired, inerrant, and infallible, authoritative and sufficient for all matters has drawn us into conflict with media and technology giants.

Because of this, our primary method of communication has been direct emails and our website.

The Lord has blessed us with an incredible variety of authors that are moved to share their ideas and stories, and the quality of their work is clearly evident in the statistics. The “open rate” of our emails has consistently DOUBLED the industry averages, and we have new subscribers daily. Many of our newsletter articles receive thousands of views on our website, long after the initial publication.

We have published the titles and author by-lines for several of these articles below to give you an idea of the content and quality of material available. To read each piece in it’s entirety and the entire selection of articles we have not included here, please visit www.FallenSoldiersMarch.com
