David Powlison’s “The Pastor as Counselor” casts a vision for how counseling operates as one primary aspect of ministry.

Pastoral counseling is distinctively and refreshingly different from popular understandings of what “counselors” and “counseling” are all about. That difference has many implications for how all Christians should think about counseling.
