Behind every spiritually fit church are leaders in the constant process of preparing other members to become counselors who nurture "one-another ministry." But the success of this mission requires a practical, results-driven process for training the next generation to serve.

In Equipping Biblical Counselors, pastor and counselor Bob Kellemen shares a proven strategy for envisioning, enlisting, equipping, and empowering new Christian counselors--a practical four-step process he has spent decades refining. With this book, Dr. Kellemen humbly comes alongside church leaders to help them

• assess their congregation's strengths and weaknesses
• shepherd new leaders with confidence and wisdom
• encourage the consistent spiritual growth God longs to see in his followers

Invest where it matters most! Equipping Biblical Counselors reveals the steps ministry leaders can take to fulfill the calling in Ephesians 4:11-16 to embolden the body of Christ to continue changing lives with his unchanging truth.
