## Resource

Michael is joined with first-time guest Nathan “Jogging” Scroggins, who also highlights Soul Care Consulting International as an “operating system” for local-church discipleship along an intentional-to-intensive discipleship continuum. Nathan explains why Colossians is vital for resisting empty deceit and worldly philosophies and focuses on Colossians 3:15–4:6 about living a Christ-ruled life. Using a case study of Frank, a stressed 42-year-old project manager, husband, and father drifting into irritability and prayerlessness, they discuss counseling applications: letting Christ’s peace govern the heart, letting the Word of Christ dwell richly, cultivating thankfulness, restoring prayerful dependence, rebuilding Christlike relational patterns, and refining witness through speech. 00:00 Conference Welcome 00:55 Soul Care Consulting 03:22 Why Colossians Matters 05:12 Reading The Passage 07:31 Meet Frank Case Study 09:07 Peace Rules The Heart 20:01 Word Dwells Richly 25:51 Thankfulness And Practice 28:02 Counseling Frank Summary 33:25 Final Thanks And Wrap Episode Mentions Soul Care Consulting
