54 - EPISODE 24 - The Puritans: Counselling the Spiritually Depressed - Part 1 by Dr. Joel Beeke

Dr Joel Beeke is a leading scholar on Puritan theology. In this podcast, he will explain how the Puritans viewed spiritual depression as a common trial of faith rather than a medical ailment. The Puritans acted as "soul physicians", prescribing deep Scripture meditation, reliance on God's sovereignty, and active utilisation of the church as a means of grace to move believers from darkness to joy.Teaching by Dr Joel BeekeFor more information on SMTI, please click here: https://smti.co.za/ For more information on the Biblical Counsellors Association of Africa (BCAA, formerly ACBC Africa), please click here: https://bcaa.co.za/For more information on Lynnwood Baptist Church, please click here: https://lynnwoodbaptistchurch.co.za/
