Facilitating Counseling Groups 

Leading a counseling group is different from leading a general discipleship group, even if both exist at the same church. A counseling group focuses on a specific need, garners heightened levels of vulnerability about matters of greater sensitivity, and, therefore, requires more skill and intentionality from its leader. In Facilitating Counseling Groups Brad Hambrick and John Chapman equip you to be an effective lay leader in a group-based counseling ministry at your church.   

Mobilizing Church-Based Counseling Groups

Many churches would like to start a counseling ministry, but they don’t know where to start. Mobilizing Church-Based Counseling provides a highly replicable and easily expandable framework for churches to create a ministry built around lay-led counseling groups and mentoring. Based on proven models used in his own congregation, counseling pastor Brad Hambrick lays out a clear plan to launch a sustainable soul-care ministry that can be replicated in churches of any size.   

Transformative Friendships

Building meaningful friendships is not as easy as we wish it was. A culture that is lonelier and more disconnected than ever proves how hard it can be. In Transformative Friendships, counselor Brad Hambrick encourages readers to develop new rhythms, habits, and lifestyles that will shape and grow your relationships, both with casual acquaintances and closer friends. He shares seven simple questions that will help you be intentional with your relationships and offers a springboard to deepening and strengthening friendships that will enrich your life.
