From our latest issue of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. Learn more and explore purchase and subscription options at ccef.org/jbc. In this article, Todd Stryd offers a decision-making framework grounded in the fear of the Lord to help with this common struggle of saying no. He walks through a sample counseling conversation to show what working through it looks like in practice. "The wisdom of Romans 14 lies not in prescribing specific outcomes but in cultivating discernment. Paul does not set saying no and saying yes in opposition; instead, he teaches that both flow from the obedient act of fearing God." #ccef #biblicalcounseling #christiancounseling #journalofbiblicalcounseling #jbc
