Welcome to Biblical Counseling for Women!

If you’re a long-time visitor, you’ll notice things look a bit different around here, and that’s right – Biblical Counseling for Women just got a whole new makeover! We are so excited to get this ministry page back up and running, with great expectations that it will bring encouragement and hope to each person who comes across the page. Here is a quick word from our founder, Dr. Julie Ganschow:

"Hello friends!

I am so excited for the re-launch of BC4Women! The blogs have a fresh, new face and the topics have been updated to meet the current needs and interests of our community. You’ll find new authors and old familiar ones whose writing you have grown to trust and appreciate. It is my pleasure to unveil the face of our ministry specifically to the women of God. I hope and pray you find help, healing, and hope here!”
– Julie

Everyone has problems from time to time, and sometimes we need a little bit of help to get through the rough spots.

That’s where Biblical Counseling comes in. Biblical Counseling is intensive discipleship. It is seeking deeply after God’s wisdom in His Word to find His solutions to life’s problems.

Here at Biblical Counseling for Women, we seek to encourage you, challenge you, and champion you on in this beautiful journey through our writing. Join us!

Battling Anxiety with Biblical Priorities

“If we want to live less stressful lives, we must learn to live with a single agenda: God’s agenda…We tend to live under two agendas, ours and God’s, and the tension between them sets up stress.”

Theology: The Backbone of Counseling

We must become a part of the solution to the theologically illiterate women in the church. Theology is the backbone of counseling.

The Opportunity for Hope

You will learn that God is sovereign over the people and events of life and to believe that He intends to take the worst of sin and the most impossible situations and bring out of them your good and His glory.

The Basics of Biblical Counseling

The Biblical Counselor is trained in the use of Scripture and the principles of biblical counseling. We do not base our counsel on mans wisdom, opinions, experience, or concepts of behavior, but we seek to bring the full range of biblical truth to focus on the counselee’s need.

When It Comes to Friendships

Friendships between women can be honoring to God or dishonoring to Him.

The Importance of the Cross

The cross of Jesus Christ is for the purpose of the Gospel, and we Christians cannot ever forget we need that cross and that Gospel every waking moment of our lives.

The Value of Disclosure

Although the time of personal disclosure and confession is very difficult both for the offender and the offended person, we have seen tremendous fruit result from this kind of accountability.

Sanctification: Let Go and Contemplate?

Ephesians 2:10, quoted above, shows that He planned obedience for us. He delights in our obedience because it shows our love for Him.

Condemned No More

Keep the truth always at the forefront of your minds. He who keeps you will present you as blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In Spite of How I Feel

The choice to obey or disobey is presented in what we are called to do and the attitude that we bring to obedience.

Glorifying God in Conflict

Peacemaking is a large part of being a biblical counselor or discipler. Have you been in the position to be a peacemaker yet? In the Beatitudes, Jesus says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God" (Matthew 5:9). As always, we must...

Judgment No More

Matthew 7:3-5 reminds us that the sin we see in others pales in comparison to the level of deception we have about our own sinfulness.

Rethinking Adversity & Tragedy

God works everything to the praise of His glory, which is the greatest good. And for those who love Him, He also works everything for their welfare.

I Know What God Says, But I Don’t Believe Him

When doubts are consuming you, make a choice to believe God. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).

Wandering Sheep, Part 5

The disciplinary process set forth in Matthew 18 is not to be carried out in anger or vengeance; it is the most loving thing the Church can do for her own – even the act of putting the unrepentant sinner out of the fellowship as an unbeliever.

The Wandering Sheep, Part 4

The goal in the conflict remains repentance for the sinner, reconciliation with God and man, and restoration to the fellowship of the church and the family.

The Wandering Sheep, Part 3

Continue to urge repentance until you are confident it will do no good. Enlist the help of other believing family members, if you can, and prayer from those you trust.

The Wandering Sheep, Part 2

Asking questions aimed at the heart is much more effective than making statements at them.

The Wandering Sheep, Part 1

The goal in all Christian relationships is the reconciliation and restoration of the sinning brother or sister to the fellowship of believers. In undertaking any disciplinary action, the motive is not “punishment” but love.

Principles of Communication

Something that may surprise you is that good communication begins with listening.
