15:14 - Biblical Counseling Coalition

the Golden Family

This episode of 15:14 is inspired by the theme of this year's BCC Annual Leadership Summit, "Biblical Counseling & Disability Ministry." Joel and Rachel Golden adopted two boys who both have Down Syndrome. This interview takes place in their home and provides a small window into the struggles and blessings that come with being a family with special needs. As the Biblical Counseling Coalition Council Board gathers we will be discussing how biblical counselors can help address the spiritual struggles faced by people with disabilities, as well as their family and care givers. Joni Earekson Tada and a team from Joni & Friends will join us at the Summit to help us think through this important topic.
