Youth pastors face increasingly difficult counseling situations in the church and often without adequate training and preparation. Training usually takes the form of learning from life's experiences or from books and seminars. The purpose of this research was to study the impact of a practical training program with a theoretical, biblical base upon the confidence level of youth pastors. The three-day seminar was designed to facilitate deeper discussion on key biblical passages that reflect the paradoxical life of Jesus and how he trained his disciples. These were Luke 24:13-25; John 5:2-9; Mark 7:24-30; and John 8:1-11. The seminar also gave participants four basic tools to use in counseling: symptom prescription, reframing, scaling questions, and the miracle question. This research was an evaluative study in the quasi-experimental mode utilizing a pre- and posttest design and comparing a control and experimental group. The main testing tool gave answers from a variety of collecting tools such as multiple-choice, scaling questions and open-ended questions. The latter were evaluated by thematic analysis finding categories and themes evident in the youth pastors' responses. A final interview was conducted by phone with eight main participants asking seven questions for their consideration.
