CCEF Podcast: Where Life & Scripture Meet
CCEF
How do the treasures of Scripture connect with the troubles of life? As Christians, we have the privilege and challenge of exploring this question. Hosted by Alasdair Groves, this podcast considers how Scripture meets us in day-to-day life, covering topics such as emotions, rest, trauma, weak faith, insomnia, and more.

Solo Sex: What's Wrong with Masturbation & Sexual Fantasies?
Masturbation, pornography, sexual fantasies...what's so bad about these? No one gets hurt, right? Aren't they better than indulging in actual sexual indecencies with other people? CCEF faculty member Winston Smith addresses the issue of what's sinful (if anything) about these supposedly "victimless" indulgences.By the way, Winston Smith will be presenting an extended seminar on this topic at the 2009 CCEF National Conference. Early Bird Super Savings on registration end June 30, so head on over to www.ccef.org for more information.

A Glimpse Inside CCEF's Training Ministry
This week we take a break from our usual topical podcasts to give you a glimpse into the teaching ministry of CCEF. One of CCEF's greatest blessings is God's provision of our wonderful faculty. In this podcast, we've asked three of those teachers, Ed Welch, David Powlison, and Julie Smith Lowe, to tell us about some of the courses they teach for both CCEF's online and onsite counselor training. Even if you never plan to take one of our courses, we think you'll be inspired and challenged by the passion of these teachers for their subjects.
