Ed Welch has been a Christian counselor for 30 years, he’s a faculty member at CCEF in Philadelphia and an adjunct professor of pastoral counseling at Westminster Seminary California. Recently we sat down to talk about his new book: Side by Side: Needy and Needed. He’s the author of several other books, When People Are Big and God is Small; Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave; and several others and he joined us to help us learn how to help others.
