A Personal Note About Christian Counseling
My Story
Early in my married life, I had a bad experience with Christian counseling. Effectively, I was told, "Don't you know what you are doing is sin? Stop it!" I did not continue with that counselor, but I thought There must be more to it than that.
After reading James 1:25, I began to believe that God doesn't want us to be told what to do as much as He wants us to see and experience the freedom of His Word in the real world - in our everyday lives.Â
The result for me has been a "where the rubber meets the road" kind of faith and therapeutic practice. I believe both research and faith need to be "real" (1 Corinthians 15:23) and applicable (James 2:16) to the issues we struggle with.Â
I believe God has provided a path - in His revealed Truth in Scripture and in science - to the issues we as humans struggle with internally in our genes, physiology, emotions, and thoughts or externally in our relationships with families, spouses, kids, parents, work associates, and even God.Â
"He has sent Me to proclaim freedom to the oppressed and recovery of sight to the blind."
 Luke 4:18
"God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."
John 3:17
