Episode 2.66
Michael and Zach sit down with Tim Bryant, founder and president of the Lowcountry Biblical Counseling Center, for a wide-ranging conversation on what truly distinguishes biblical counseling from both secular approaches and broader forms of “Christian counseling.”
Tim explains the foundations of nouthetic counseling—rooted in Scripture, focused on the heart, and committed to real transformation rather than symptom management. As a member of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC), Tim explains how biblical counseling addresses the whole person by dealing honestly with sin, suffering, and sanctification, rather than reframing problems or merely validating emotions.
The discussion turns practical as they explore common emotional struggles such as fear, anger, and depression, and how Scripture provides concrete tools for change. Tim walks through the biblical pattern of put off / put on, showing how lasting growth comes through repentance, renewed thinking, and obedience. They also discuss the value of meditation walks—intentional time spent walking, praying, and meditating on Scripture—as a way to reorient the heart and mind toward truth.
This episode offers clarity, pastoral wisdom, and hope, reminding listeners that real change is possible—not through techniques alone, but through the transforming power of God’s Word applied faithfully to everyday life.
