AB - The purpose of this article is for Christian or pastoral counselors to pay attention to the high rate of unemployment of young adults amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and to listen to their individual narratives from the point of social community. Young adults without jobs or in danger of losing them are supposed to speak out candidly about their stories, and the counselors are expected to listen to them with empathy. Unemployment of young adults threatens a continuation of their future life stories. A Christian or pastoral counselor may provide inspiration that young adults desperately need beyond material profits. A narrative as a story-telling has closely to do with the formation of a community as well as its moral values. Justice is the basis of the shalom community that the Israelites in the Bible dreamed of from ancient times. The story of exodus, for example, has formed God’s big narrative of redemption, and influenced the practice of mercy for poor people e.g., widows or orphans. The peaceful community is composed both of the big narrative of God’s redemption and of the individual narratives of practice. As Couture points out, a Christian or pastoral counselor must become familiar with empathic rhetoric so that individual care and social justice can be served for the socially isolated like the young ones of the time.
