The goal of courses after Self-Confrontation is not to develop professional counselors, but to equip believers who are able to disciple/counsel others in a variety of settings. Christians must be prepared to provide biblical discipleship to others within the local church, family, work, friendships, and other relationships in either organized training ministries or informal settings.
All of the Level 2 materials use the Handbook for the Ministry of Biblical Discipleship / Counseling and the Self-Confrontation manual as references because both of those books provide extensive biblical foundations for each topic covered.
The courses that come after Self‐Confrontation (Levels 2-4) require student involvement in role‐plays and must be completed in a classroom setting under the supervision of a BCF‐trained instructor. The materials, as they are written, are only outlines, and do not contain the whole content of the courses.
Ordering the material and attempting to do the role‐plays without proper training would be like trying to learn how to swim without a swimming pool.
The Level 2 Syllabus is a set of lesson plans for the student attending the second BCF training course in biblical discipleship / counseling.
Contents of the study
NOTE: The Level 2 material is designed for use in a class taught by an instructor who has gone through BCF advanced training.

A brief overview of BCF’s philosophy of ministry and details about the Self-Confrontation Bible Study, its contents, and various formats.
Periodically we offer basic training in biblical discipleship / counseling online. You can check the Courses page for details.
The bundle enables you to study the Self-Confrontation course on your own. The Self-Confrontation manual is the reference book for the course while the Student Workbook leads you through key Scripture passages and points you to relevant portions of the Self-Confrontation manual.
The Handbook for the Ministry of Biblical Discipleship / Counseling has been developed as a reference to help the biblical discipler / counselor maintain his or her biblical focus in ministering to those with problems. It is also used as a basic resource in all BCF training courses beyond the Self-Confrontation course.
The What God’s Word Says about Prayer booklet is an in‐depth study about prayer adapted and expanded from the Self-Confrontation manual, Lesson 3. It is an even more in-depth study about a set of astonishing truths: that God speaks to us through His Word and that He gives us the ability and privilege to speak to Him in return.
The Victory Over Failures Plan is a tool developed to help you overcome any difficulty of life with the full expectation of complete and lasting victory. This booklet is a companion to the Self-Confrontation manual. It can be used independently from the Self-Confrontation Course but is best understood and applied along with the course.
The Biblical Principles booklet contains all of the 105 biblical principles from the Self-Confrontation manual as well as 32 principles from the Handbook for Biblical Discipleship / Counseling available in one package.
