Author: Garrett Higbee

Parents who are struggling with one or more adolescents are usually desperate for help.  This is a great opportunity for us as biblical counselors to share God’s wisdom, talk about the authority and sufficiency of scripture, and to model humility and patience as we walk alongside a very real problem today.  With real life examples, some humor and a finger on the text Garrett Higbee addresses how to help parents and their teens.  There is no pain like family pain, but there is no hope like Christ for hurting families!

This is a session from the Biblical Counseling Training Conference hosted by Faith Church in Lafayette, Indiana. 

People are looking for the hope that there are answers for their hurts, their difficulties, and the challenges they face. Since 1985, the Biblical Counseling Training Conference has been equipping ministry professionals and lay leaders to skillfully, confidently, and lovingly minister God's Word to those looking for answers.
