Welcome to The BCC Podcast, the official podcast of the Biblical Counseling Coalition (BCC). Previously called 15:14, this podcast is based on Romans 15:14 — reminding us that, as believers, we are "full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another" — this show is dedicated to multiplying relationships and robust resources within the biblical counseling movement.
Join host Kevin Carson (Executive Director of the BCC) along with BCC staff and leading voices from across the global network as we explore the sufficiency and necessity of Scripture for the personal ministry of the Word. We tackle the real, messy realities of human relationships and soul care — including depression, anxiety, grief, and conflict resolution — through insightful interviews and theological discussions.
Whether you are a pastor, certified biblical counselor, lay leader, or believer seeking to speak God's truth in love, The BCC Podcast equips the local church for compassionate outreach, progressive sanctification, and Christ-centered discipleship.
