Emily Dykstra and Dr. Jennifer Feenstra, both professors within the psychology department, discussed the journeys of their faith life and how they came to truly articulate their personal beliefs. These professors also talked about the many challenges faced by “emerging adults” who perhaps have a rather weak hold of their faith in the midst of a heavily-secular world and how to deal with such challenges. Of course, they believe that our education at Northwestern equips us as “courageous and faithful learners” with the suitable framework for our faith, yet they also realize that this Christian environment may be sheltering us from the harsh realities of the world. This session reminded me of a previous discussion I had with my FYS class about why we believe what we believe. Through that discussion, I realized that I had never really articulated what my faith actually meant to me.
The Dr. Larry Crabb book “Effective Biblical Counseling” is a great work for the Christian community. He explores four different approaches to integrate the Bible and counseling strategies to bring believers closer to God.

My responses to the retake of the boundaries questionnaire were mostly the same as the before reading the chapter. My response was the same for bartering with a client for goods or services; I believed that it is sometimes ethical. I learned that it is ethical to barter with a client for goods or services. The ethical standards for the counseling profession have no prohibition on bartering. My response to invitation of a client to a personal party or social event has changed to sometimes ethical.
In this book, I feel the title of the Christian psychology approach can be very confusing .if we see from the title, we will interpret the Christians who are in the field of psychology is a Christian psychologist. Also, in this book explained that not all Christians must conform to Christian psychology approach. Christian psychology approach is a combination of integration approaches and the biblical counselling approach. This approach get many criticized because there is no application or can we called is only an
Also, if a counselee comes in who is having anxiety or depression, it would be a good idea for them to have a physical exam to detect any organic problems.

The story of a madly driven scientist who becomes afflicted by the life he produced from the dead, from which he discerns he is the true monster. In Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein she captures how society forms this cliché of how appearance is a large factor of being accepted and loved. Shelly’s story was brought to film by Kenneth Branagh where there were a few similarities and numerous distortions.

However, the authors wish that adults would encourage teenagers to to discuss complex spiritual issues” (449). Since I could remember, my family in Simi Valley and Fairfield have always been Christian and believed in a God, Heaven and Hell except for my mother. Now although I didn 't always live with my mother, when my grandma in Simi would try to take me to church I always felt strange in the church. Even last year, at 14, I told my step grandma that I wasn 't gonna go to church with her anymore because I didn 't believe in anything they talked about there

The issue of gun ownership has been mentioned for many times. The greatest reason of it is that many people are worried about their safety, and carrying firearm is one of the most certain way to keep their safety.

Essay #1: Why is biblical counseling important, and how does it fit within the ministry of the local church? As Christians, biblical counseling helps us apply both the greatest (and the second which is like it) commands as spoken by Jesus in Matthew 22:36-40. Biblical counseling is also a mechanism to which each of us can fulfill the great commission as spoken by Jesus in Matthew 28: 19-20.
