Biblical Counseling

You might be wondering…Why Do I Need Biblical Counsel?

You don’t hesitate to see a doctor when you are physically unwell. Bible counsel offers profound wisdom and guidance for mental, emotional, and behavioral issues. Why wouldn’t seeking a christian who specializes in biblical counsel be neglected?

Christian Biblical counselors integrate scriptural principles into the therapeutic conversations to guide you toward better mental health, spiritual healing, and transformation. God desires us to seek help, including good counsel – to renew our minds through the promises and truths of Scripture. (Romans 12:2) There are Biblical Answers for Mental Health.

Biblical counseling therapy illuminates how God brings about healing and growth. (Proverbs 15:22)

Christians are encouraged in scripture to seek wise counsel. (Proverbs 11:14)

Restoring your mind and spirit was never meant to be done by yourself. (Hebrews 10:23-25)

We might suppress pain, ignore our past, and utilize self-sabotage to avoid responsibility for years, but when these issues become undeniable, Biblical counsel is how God strengthens you. (Psalm 46:1-3)

Seeking out a counselor is a sign of strength instead of weakness. (Proverbs 11:14)

Biblical counseling differs from how the world counsels.

Many therapists have labeled mental health as a non-religious issue, even if they identify as Christians themselves.

God is a vital part of your life. Therefore, He should be a part of your mental health journey.  (Eph 1:18-21)

Biblical counseling is NOT using a Bible verse to explain away or offer false hope concerning mental health issues. Many well-meaning Christians offer verses out of context or unknowingly quote unbiblical stances to hurting people.

Biblical Counselors Use Scripture as a Primary Source of Wisdom.

As a biblical counselor, it is important to read Scripture, understand its context to offer wisdom for God’s specific purpose.

Scripture helps us understand who we are, our purpose, our relationship with God, and how to deal with life’s challenges. (Proverbs 2:6)

When encountering difficulties, biblical counseling directs you to the spiritual part of life.

Its goal is to teach you how to turn to God for help by seeking solutions provided for you in his Word. (Psalm 57)

Scripture promises Christians changed lives.

As Christians, we can eagerly expect God to be with us when we invite Him into our troubles and trials. (Isaiah 30:18)

God didn’t create us to go through life alone. You were designed to be connected with others. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

God can use anything that overwhelms us or affects our coping ability; it’s part of the spiritual journey. (Romans 8:27-28)

Biblical counseling addresses root causes for holistic healing and offers guidance for emotional, mental, behavioral, and relational issues. (Matthew 15:18-20)

Biblical counseling explores the kind of person you are and addresses areas where change is needed.

How you think about and respond to life events is directly connected to who you are… and your ability to change is connected to whom you belong. (Romans 14-7-8 & Ephesians 2:19)

Healing happens when you invite God into the pain.

We use Scripture to understand and discover what we need during our troubled times. (Psalm 119:105)

Let’s approach the One who has the answer to everything because He created you. (John 1:3)

The Spirit’s work makes Scripture come alive to us and enables change so that, with integrity, we can walk with others needing similar help. (Galatians 5:25)

Biblical counseling goes beyond quoting Scripture, discussing, and praying through specific passages.

It deeply impacts your life today and tomorrow because Scripture is the actual Word of God through which the Spirit fulfills His purposes in you! (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
