About Counseling:

Pastoral counseling is a blend of Christian ministry and the professional expertise of a full-time counselor. Many people’s problems are more complex than are normally dealt with by the average pastor, and therefore, require the abilities of a Christian Minister specializing in problems such as marital crises, severe emotional problems, depression, parenting and financial problems.

Some people feel they must turn to a psychiatrist or psychologist in order to receive qualified help in these areas. Pastoral counseling seeks to fill the void between the schedule and training limitations of most pastors and the non-spiritual and clinical methods employed by many professional counselors. Perhaps now more than ever, people are searching for God’s answers to their complex problems.

My theory of counseling is that the Bible contains a God-ordained, sufficient, and comprehensive system of principles, insights, goals, and appropriate methods for understanding and resolving the problems of people. Scripture provides a model for helping people that needs no supplement. God, the Expert on helping people, has given us counseling perspectives and methodologies that are wholly adequate for resolving personal difficulties and the problems of others. (2 Peter 1:3)
