Canadian Pastors’ Forum 5: Biblical or Christian Counselling
Over the past decades, Christians have developed various approaches to counselling. Some call their method biblical counselling, others Christian counselling, and others will use use language like Christian psychology. How can we understand these various approaches to counselling? In this panel, Paul Carter, RD Glenn, Rob Godard, Michael Krahn, and Wyatt Graham discuss how Christian leaders and pastors can think about counselling in church ministry. It can sometimes be a conversation that has more heat than light. But we hope we can help you think through this occasionally controversial topic to help you shepherd the flock God has shared with you as under-shepherds.

Canadian Pastors’ Forum 4: Israel and Hamas
If you are a pastor, you probably have already fielded questions about the war between Israel and Hamas. Few of us our political experts. Yet Israel has a special place in our theological outlook of the world. And many Christians are asking questions about this conflict. How can we as pastors and Christian leaders talk about the war in wise and godly ways? How can we answer the inevitable questions that we will be asked? In this panel, Wyatt Graham, Paul Carter, RD Glenn, and Rob Godard seek to share their collective wisdom on how to pastorally speak about the war between Israel and Hamas without giving up the centrality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This might be a controversial episode. But we think it's a topic that we cannot ignore given how important the pastoral issues are.

Canadian Pastors’ Forum 3: Burnout
We’ve all been hearing about increasing rates of burnout amongst pastors, we’ve been hearing about high rates of anxiety and depression, and we’ve also been hearing about this “Great Resignation” – the data seems to indicate that it was and is worse in the States than hear, but it does seem to be happening here at some significant level, and then we’ve also been hearing that fewer and fewer younger people are willing to go into ministry – partly because of the stresses, but also, largely because the pay scale hasn’t kept pace with the increased cost of living in this country. So, long story short, we have a problem. In this podcast, Rob Goddard, Wyatt Graham, Paul Graham, Paul Carter, and Michael Krahn seek to uncover that problem and discuss potential solutions.

Advent Love
All of us long for love. We long to be accepted. We long to belong. We also long to love. We express love in a variety of ways; sometimes through physical touch; sometimes through words of affirmation. This time of year we often show love by giving gifts. God lovingly offers kindness to everyone. The rain falls and the sun shines on our neighbours yard as well as ours. He grants everyone joy and pleasure. Jesus demonstrated His love through service and sacrifice. His love for us is shown supremely on the cross offering a forgiving and redemptive love for those who believe. His love justifies His children, granting them His presence now and forever. This is advent love.

Advent Joy
We sing ‘Joy to the World’ each Christmas but don’t often feel joy filled. Our circumstances and situations can rob us of joy. A difficult family situation, a challenging health diagnosis, a crushing job loss can all rob us of our joy. Jesus has just told His disciples that He is going to leave them for a little while. They don’t understand what He is saying or where He is going. Their paradigm of Him is skewed. They want Him to free Israel from the Roman tyranny. How can He be going? He came to free them from a greater tyrant than Rome. We are often like the disciples, longing to find our joy in our agenda and plans instead of His. How is Christmas truly good news of great joy?
