The Dirty Words of Counseling
Matt Johnson
| September 24, 2026
We are all counselors. The problem is, we’re often not good counselors. Usually our counsel is more like advice, and advice isn’t always helpful.

Four honest conversations with Steve Brown. First, what guilt, shame, fear, and regret actually are, and why every one of us gets stuck there. Then no kickers - God’s promises don’t come with small print. Then the lie that the world is made of good people and bad people, and what happens when the church forgets it. And finally the big one: that God is angry at you, with reason. He isn’t. Adapted from Steve’s book, God’s Not Mad at You
