Counseling: What do I tell them if....

Many questions begin with that line. Do we give them advice from Freud or Philippians? Peale or Paul? Jung or Jesus? Psychobabble or biblical direction?

An alternative to the psychological way! This course is a major part of the certification process for those who wish to become soteric counselors ministering to troubled individuals in the interest of spiritual wholeness.

"I have enjoyed and appreciated your Christian Counseling from Scripture a great deal. It fills the gap I have encountered in pastoring." --ID

"Christian Counseling from Scripture is designed to take back the sacred ground that the church has lost (or, given up) over the past decades. The myth of psychology is exposed for what it really is. Well documented material is offered to bring out this truth. Every pastor and church leader should take this course as soon as possible. No more sacred ground should be given up." --SC

"This course should be a part of every District's requirements for licensing!" --CA

Correspondence version available! Now, you can take this course in the comfort of your own home! One low price includes everything--all materials, text, instruction, and a lovely Certificate of Completion suitable for framing.

The course consists of three loose-leaf binders and a textbook, The Couch and the Cross. Lessons include The Counselor Himself, The Sufficiency of Scripture, The Biblical Model of Man, The Psychological Model of Man, Idendifying the Problems, Finding the Answers, Competency to Minister, A Biblical Model For Counseling, Evoking Change I & II, and The Spoilers. Assignments and tests are a part of the course. One binder is filled with counseling resources, and another provides the background of secular psychologists and psychiatrists so that one is familiar with a number of counseling models and why they are marginalized. Soteric counseling centers on counseling from the Word of God. That is what Christians ought to do rather than parrot the worn-out phrases of the secularists, attaching new names to  the behaviors the Scriptures identify as sin. "The Word of the Lord is right!" (Psalm 33:4).
