본연구는기독교상담에서내담자의변화를가져올수있는바람직한상담기법의하나인격려에대하여다루었다. 상담자는내담자를돕기위한격려의사람이어야한다. 이를위해상담자는자신이객관적인시각에서내담자의문제를정확하게진단할수있어야하며시기적절하게격려를사용하여상담을수행할수있어야한다. 특히기독교상담에서의격려는고통받는내담자의마음을위로하고용기를불어넣어줄뿐만아니라그리스도의사랑을전할수있는위력이있기때문에상담자는어떻게격려를할수있는가를생각해야한다.따라서본연구에서는상담에서격려의필요성, 격려의정의와개념, 성경에나타나있는격려, 격려의효과, 효과적인격려를위한기법, 격려를위한상담자의조건등을다루었다. 상담에서격려의사용은내담자자신의신념을긍정적으로변화시키며자기존중과자기수용을향상시킨다. 내담자는격려를통해자신의소속에대해만족감을느끼게되며자신의불완전함을인정하는용기를갖게된다. 이는낙담한사람들이갖는부정적인자기개념과기대를변화시켜스스로회복하도록돕는것이므로상담에서격려는충분히활용되어야할것이다. 아울러기독교상담자들은격려를통해모든인간이각각그리스도의한지체로서고유하게가지고있는무한한가능성과잠재력을최대한개발하고활용하여의미있는삶을살수있도록도와줄수있도록훈련되어야한다.
