Wonderful Counselor: A Practical Guide to Biblical Counseling In a world filled with brokenness, confusion, and hidden wounds, how can we truly help people find freedom, healing, and identity in Christ? In Wonderful Counselor , Joshua M. Stegenga offers a practical, Spirit-led framework for biblical counseling that is both deeply compassionate and theologically grounded. Drawing from his own testimony of redemption and years of experience walking with the hurting, Stegenga equips counselors, pastors, and everyday believers to partner with the Holy Spirit in the work of soul restoration. Rooted in the powerful name given to Jesus in Isaiah 9:6— Wonderful Counselor —this guide explores the four dimensions of biblical counseling: to determine, devise, guide, and purpose . Through Scripture-rich teaching, diagnostic tools, and Spirit-led strategies, you’ll learn how to: Listen beyond surface struggles to discern the spiritual roots of fear, shame, pride, and bitterness. - Create redemptive, God-centered plans that restore identity and renew the mind. - Guide others step by step through a journey from revelation to transformation. - Help people move beyond survival into their God-given purpose. - Cultivate compassion, missional conviction, and attunement to the Spirit in every counseling encounter. This is not a clinical manual—it is a Christ-centered invitation to partner with the heart of the Father in healing the brokenhearted. Whether you are a counselor, ministry leader, or believer called to walk alongside others, Wonderful Counselor will inspire and equip you to reflect Christ’s wisdom, compassion, and power in the lives of those you serve. For anyone longing to see captives set free, the broken restored, and hearts awakened to their true identity in Christ, this book is both a guide and a commissioning.
