Personal Applications Of nourishing, knowing, examining,
diagnosing, prescribing, envisioning, and dispensing:Which seems most important for you to
learn? What if you omitted any one?Which could you apply to your life now?
How? How might your daily life change if you
lived coram Deo sola scriptura? How might your daily life be different if you
lived coram Deo sola gratia?
![Page 44: The Pastor as Soul Physician: Changing Lives with Christ’s Changeless Truth](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b7398e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Ministry Implications What is your approach to helping people, your
map/model? Where did you learn it? Where could Scripture further shape it?
As you leave here today on track toward growth as a soul physician, what will you be doing differently as you further develop as a biblical counselor?
Rate your level of “what to know” for biblical counseling compared to ninety minutes ago, with 1 being “the same as when I entered,” and 10 being “incredibly higher”.
