What is Biblical Counseling?

    Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are wary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

    The Bible provides solutions for life’s greatest problems. God knows us better than anyone, he created us! He also loves us and wants us to understand ourselves and how to overcome problems. He has revealed this information in his Word, the Bible.

    Biblical counseling is an opportunity for you to get help from God's Word. A biblical counselor seeks to learn and understand the problem you are facing and help you find solutions in the Bible. Through instruction, weekly assignments, and accountability, the counselor seeks to help you change the way you think about your problems. Sometimes taking the right steps can be hard, but the result is a life not so heavily burdened. 

    “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds, and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:22-24)
