On June 7, 2019, David Powlison went home to be with the Lord. David served at CCEF in various capacities over the years—including executive director, faculty member, counselor, and senior editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling—and our ministry has been shaped by his life and work.

To honor his life, we will be sharing several resources in the coming days that show just a taste of the breadth of his prolific writings. Today's article is "Affirmations and Denials: A Proposed Definition of Biblical Counseling." You can find the full article for purchase here: https://bit.ly/4eu9RJ5
