Kairos Care

While some people might become pastors to offer counsel, I expect that many pastors see counseling as a daunting, disorienting, and even dreaded part of the job. It can even be scorned by some who consider this pastoral work an unnecessary distraction from leadership and mission. Yet pastoral counseling is a non-negotiable component of pastoral ministry that provides an excellent opportunity to display the love of Christ. Kairos Care teaches a theologically sensitive, practically formed framework for providing focused, time-limited pastoral care and counsel. To keep this framework tangible, this book offers a kairos diagram that illustrates the model for counsel. While the kairos diagram is readily found online, it has been modified to fit a pastoral counsel context for ease of use.

As a pastor, you know that congregational care is part of the job, along with leadership and mission. You may feel extremely comfortable offering guidance to your flock; but if you happen to be one of the many clergy men and women who find counseling to be daunting, disorienting, and maybe even distracting, then Kairos Care by Aaron Perry can help. It offers a theologically sensitive and practically formed framework for providing focused and time-limited pastoral care and counsel. A Kairos diagram included in the book illustrates this model for counsel, providing you with a quick reference tool long after you’ve digested the contents of the book. Whether you’re counseling during a scheduled appointment from your office or an impromptu session at a neighborhood coffee spot, Kairos Care will help you make the most of any opportunity that arises to display the love of Christ.
