AB - The paper emphasizes that theology should play a more important and fundamental role in the theory and practice of Christian counseling. It confirms the universality and necessity of theology through the definition and concept of theology. Theological reflection is necessary for all Christians while professional theologians and lay Christians mutually support each other in their theological understanding. Moreover, the areas related to Christian counseling and theology are examined from the perspective of a Christian worldview. Theology shapes the Christian worldview, and the Christian worldview plays a leading role in Christian counseling in at least three areas. First of all, discernment about human beings and situations becomes possible through a Christian worldview. The Christian worldview provides insight into the theories, assumptions, and philosophies counselors utilize enabling correct application. Furthermore, it states that Christian values should also be grounded in theology and that this is involved in counseling. Finally, it breaks down the process of applying theology to counseling. It suggests a cycle of prepared theory, practice, theory, and practice, highlighting the need for theological reflection from start to finish. Then, this paper tries to apply this four stages in Christian counseling, focusing on the theme of identity.
