This session focuses on how biblical counseling principles can be used to impact the community in many creative ways.  Steve Viars seeks to give an exegetical foundation for community-based outreach ministry along with an explanation of some of the lessons Faith has learned through trial and error.

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.
