A Glimpse Inside CCEF's Training Ministry Jun 03, 2009

Show notes

This week we take a break from our usual topical podcasts to give you a glimpse into the teaching ministry of CCEF. One of CCEF's greatest blessings is God's provision of our wonderful faculty. In this podcast, we've asked three of those teachers, Ed Welch, David Powlison, and Julie Smith Lowe, to tell us about some of the courses they teach for both CCEF's online and onsite counselor training. Even if you never plan to take one of our courses, we think you'll be inspired and challenged by the passion of these teachers for their subjects.
