Description

Pastors and counselors regularly minister to people whose marriages or families are in crisis. Tempers run high and feelings are brought low when a marriage is hurting or a family is in disarray. Pastors and counselors need practical, biblical help in order to connect their theological training to the reality of modern messy relationships. These how-to training manuals provide relevant, user-friendly equipping for pastors, counselors, lay leaders, educators, and students, enabling them to competently and compassionately relate God's Word to marriage and family life.

“Bob Kellemen has made a significant contribution to the field of gospel-centered family counseling in his latest book. Readers will encounter a work that is both thorough and comprehensive, biblical and user-friendly. Bob possesses an inimitable ability to take big concepts and principles and organize them in memorable ways, and Gospel-Centered Family Counseling embodies this well. I have no doubt that this work will become a go-to reference for ministry leaders and counselors for years to come.”
Jonathan D. Holmes , executive director, Fieldstone Counseling; author of Counsel for Couples: A Biblical and Practical Guide for Marriage Counseling
“As I read Gospel-Centered Family Counseling , I was struck yet again by the thoroughness of Scripture for approaching counseling issues in wise and winsome ways, especially the crucial topic of the Christian family. Bob has put together a thorough, well-organized, biblical counseling strategy for equipping us to help families live God-honoring lives. This realistic yet hopeful approach also oozes with the compassion of Christ as counselors learn to minister to saints, sufferers, and sinners whose family relationships have been impacted by the fall. I will use it in our ministries at our church and recommend it at the schools where I teach. Thank you, Bob!”
Dr. Ernie Baker , pastor of counseling, First Baptist Church, Jacksonville; chair of the online BA in biblical counseling at The Master’s University; author of Marry Wisely, Marry Well
“Having spent over twenty years as a biblical counselor, I’ve often wondered why our movement has written so little on the subject of family counseling. My experience is that most biblical counselors are just not well trained in navigating the complexities of whole-family counsel. Having been trained in family therapy, I have a deep appreciation for Bob Kellemen’s inclusion of both parents and their children in the family counseling process. Gospel-Centered Family Counseling is theologically robust, philosophically refreshing, and methodologically rich. I highly recommend it to those counseling families and those training caregivers to work with parents and families.”
Dr. Garrett Higbee , director of pastoral care for the Great Commission Collective; founding board member for the Biblical Counseling Coalition
“In this training manual for pastors and counselors, Dr. Bob Kellemen draws on his many years of family counseling to provide us with a sharpening tool. The counseling questions in this book are as good as the sage wisdom provided! I served on a church staff with Bob and have observed his counseling care and insight firsthand. There are few more qualified to train us, and this book will equip both new and veteran caregivers in the care of souls, families, and the church.”
Steve DeWitt , senior pastor of Bethel Church; author of Eyes Wide Open: Enjoying God in Everything
“In Gospel-Centered Family Counseling , Dr. Bob Kellemen provides outstanding help for biblical counselors, pastors, lay leaders, and students working with and ministering to families. This is a biblical and extremely practical equipping resource I will refer to regularly as I seek to become a better and better family counselor.”
Dr. Amy Baker , editor of Caring for the Souls of Children: A Biblical Counselor’s Manual
“I was taught throughout Gospel-Centered Family Counseling , and it gave me scriptural insights and biblical wisdom for family and marriage mission statements. Bob is a wise mentor in this book and in life. As he sits next to you, he will not expect counseling perfection. He will gently equip you to help families and guide you in humility, prayer, and confidence in the Lord and his Word.”
Dr. Ed Welch , counselor and faculty, CCEF; author of Side by Side: Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love

Acknowledgments
My motivation for writing Gospel- Centered Family Counseling began while I was serving as counseling pastor at Bethel Church in northwest Indiana. Many pastors, ministry leaders, and lay leaders from Bethel journeyed with me as we counseled, discipled, and shepherded many families. I want to thank each of them for their co-ministry, encouragement, and friendship: Pastor Steve DeWitt, Pastor Brad Lagos, Pastor Mark Culton, Pastor Dexter Harris, Pastor Dan Jacobsen, Pastor Jared Bryant, Pastor Chris Whetstone, Pastor Gary Butler, Pastor Dustin Rouse, and ministry leaders/lay leaders Ken Barry, Lauri Mollema, Gail Morris, Skye Bryant, Jennifer Culton, Laura Sauerman, Caitlin Marsee, Joy Katts, Amanda Wilson, and Melissa Anderson.
Before, during, and after I wrote Gospel-Centered Family Counseling , I’ve been serving alongside the ministry team at Faith Bible Seminary in Lafayette, Indiana. Thank you for your ministry in my life: Pastor Steve Viars, Pastor Brent Aucoin, Pastor Rob Green, and Kirk Fatool.
Foreword
Imagine a family comes to you for help and says, “We’re a mess.”
Maybe it’s two frustrated parents with an angry teenager, and there’s a lot of conflict, name-calling, and bitterness in the home. Maybe it’s a mom and dad with three preschool-age children, and the children rule the home. Or it could even be a family where multiple kids are struggling—one is severely depressed, another is hooked on porn—and the parents are at a complete loss for what to do.
What do you do? How do you help? What do you say? Where do you go in Scripture? How do you pray? What counseling skills do you employ? How do you help them out of the mess?
Here’s why my dear friend Bob Kellemen is an invaluable guide for you. He’s written a book that’s worthy of your attention . . . a book unlike anything else I’ve read.
Bob has helped tons of struggling families. And his approach is different than what you get out of generic counseling books. As you engage this material, you will find that . . .
Bob loves God’s Word. What’s clear from the very beginning is that Bob Kellemen’s counseling philosophy and methodology are rooted in the Word of God. Gospel-Centered Family Counseling is biblically rich and faithful to teach God’s perspective on these matters.
Bob understands that theology matters. Our theology—what we believe about God, humanity, Christ, sin, and faith—has bearing on our life. What we believe transforms how we live. Bob gets this, so Gospel-Centered Family Counseling is structured first as a theological primer on the family. We come to understand, for example, how a parent’s holy love provides children with a taste of God’s holy love while also creating a home that is safe, stable, and secure.
Bob’s book is practical, equipping you with hands-on relational/counseling competencies. A rich and gosp
