In this episode, Andrew Ray and Barbara Lane talk with Mike Emlet and Winston Smith talk about a counselor’s ability to relate to counselees. The discussion revolves around a listener’s question: “God gives us wisdom through our experiences, and he expects us to use it to comfort those who are going through the same struggles. But how can a counselor wisely counsel someone when he or she has not been through the same struggles? Not all of us have experienced abuse, addictions, divorce, etc. How do you put yourself in their shoes? Why should they listen to you?”
