Episode #35: Hope & Counseling Bibically

In this episode of the Renewed Mind Podcast, Dr. Luther Smith discusses the intersection of psychology, counseling, and scripture recalling the importance of ethics in biblical counseling, focusing on principles such as beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, integrity, and autonomy. The conversation then shifts to the concept of hope, exploring its significance in counseling and its biblical foundations. Dr. Smith delves into the meanings of hope in both Hebrew and Greek scriptures, highlighting how hope is tied to God's promises and the assurance of future fulfillment.  He emphasizes the certainty of hope rooted in God's promises and contrasts it with the role of counselors who provide wisdom rather than hope.
