• The Literature of Lay Counseling
• Building a Ministry of Lay Counseling
• Selection of Lay Counselors
• Training of Lay Counselors
• Supervision of Lay Counselors
• Evaluation of Lay Counselors
• Potential Pitfalls
• Conclusions
Introduction
• Is lay Christian counseling helpful or dangerous?
• Can we expect an average person without a master’s
or doctoral degree in counseling to be able to meet
the needs of someone plunged into depression or
wracked with indecision by some complex problems
in life?
• Lay counselors are “individuals who lack the training,
educational experience, or credentials to be
professional counselors, but who nevertheless are
involved in helping people cope with personal
problems” (Gary Collins, cited p. 14)
• Lay counseling is present in churches, para-church
organizations, mental health settings, Christian, and
secular
The Need for Lay Counseling
Ministries
• Psychological problems are
increasingly evident
• Christians are not trained to
handle difficult problems (i.e.
typical answer is “you’re a sinner,
just pray about it”)
• There are Scriptural texts that
support the use of lay counseling
Biblical Basis for Lay
Counseling
• Conservative circles are concerned about the
“seduction of Christianity by secular psychology”
• Every ministry must begin with Biblical and
theological basis, including lay counseling
• Two categories of Scriptural reference provide
biblical support for lay counseling ministries in
churches
– Calling of all Christians to be involved in ministry
(priesthood of all believers)
– All believers are called to be involved in ministry to one
another (i.e. people-helping by non-professionals and
para-professionals)
The Call to Ministry in General
(Priesthood of Believers, I Peter 2:5,9)
• Eph. 4:1-16 demonstrates God’s will for all
saints to be equipped for ministry or
service
– Unity of Calling: no clergy-laity distinction
– Unity of Ministry: each member of the body is
indispensable. We don’t have a ministry; we
are one.
– Unity in Common Life: (Eph. 2:5, 6, 19, 22, 3:6;
4:16); we are interdependent
– Unity in Purpose: ultimate goal is maturity in
Christ; ordained pastors should equip the
saints for ministry or service
The Call to Lay Counseling as a
Specific Ministry
• Mandate to show Christ-like love to one another (John
13:34-35) and carry each other’s burdens (Gal. 6:2)
• All believers are to admonish, encourage, or help one
another (Rom. 15:14; Col. 3:16; I Thess. 5:14)
• Some believers specially gifted with exhortation, or
paraklesis (Rom. 12:8)
• Jay Adams developed nouthetic (from nouthesia)
