The Institute for Reformed Biblical Counseling

We have an exciting opportunity for you! A generous donor has pledged a $25,000 matching gift to our ministry, but we need your help to make it a reality! Between now and May 31st, every gift you give will be doubled up to $25,000! Your $50 becomes $100. Your $500 becomes $1,000. Your $1,000 becomes $2,000. The timing of this opportunity is crucial, as our ministry has undergone extensive growth in recent days. From developing new curriculum to recording new training lectures to launching a new website and certification portal, we have had many opportunities to grow our ministry and better serve you. We are very thankful for this exciting growth, but we have also needed to increase our overall operating expenses. Our newly recorded lectures required new camera and studio equipment; our new website took considerable time from our team and the website builders; and the continued growth of our ministry has necessitated expanding our staff. Would you prayerfully consider making a matched gift to us at this important time? reformedcounseling.org/donate/ Finally, I ask that you join us in prayer that the Lord would prosper our efforts for the good of His people and the glory of His name. We know and believe that unless the Lord builds the house, we will labor in vain (Psalm 127:1). We hope that you will join us in our IRBC $25,000 Match Challenge and double your impact today. P.S. Don’t forget, this matching opportunity ends May 31st. Give today to help us unlock the full potential of this opportunity! reformedcounseling.org/donate/

Join Dr. Jared Poulton (@jared_poulton) in Owensboro, KY, for our upcoming May modular course "Biblical Counseling and the Local Church." Students can register now through the CBTS Hub on Pathway!

Our Executive Director, @jared_poulton, was featured today by @challies. You can read his article, "Helping Teens Build Friendships in a TikTok World," here. Interested in more articles? View our growing library here: reformedcounseling.org/articles/

Screens were meant to serve our relationships, but for many teens, the digital world has become the substance of their social life. Discipleship means helping our kids prioritize "temporal, embodied, and communal" interactions. Read the article here: bit.ly/3OrroJo

Helpful article from @ReformedBC on Powlison's course on Theology and Secular Psychology and Van Til: "This course taught how to first apply the antithesis and then to mine secular theories for common grace insights that could be beneficial to the biblical counselor." reformedcounseling.org/article/david-…
