Counseling Model
Most
spiritual and emotional problems faced by Christians are
rooted in a weakness in their relationship with God. We
see our ministry more as discipling than counseling in
the usual interpretation of counseling. Discipleship is
more than knowing right theology and right spiritual
methodologies. It is the enhancing of the intimacy of
one's love relationship with the Lord Himself.
Discipleship Counseling can help people get "unstuck"
spiritually and emotionally so they can grow and mature
in their relationship with Christ and others. This
growth will impact every area of a person's life.
Three
things that impact our clients' lives include: repenting
of their own sin, living with the consequences of their
sin, and living with the pain and consequences from others sinning
against them. Therefore when people do not repent of
sin, learn to suffer well because of sin, or resolve the
pain from their wounds, they do not find freedom and
healing.
Our purpose
throughout the counseling is that the counselee would
personally grow in their relationship with God. This
growth will bear lasting fruit in their lives.
