What Will You Learn?

• 1. Biblical Foundations of Counseling: You'll explore how to interpret and apply the Bible's teachings in counseling settings, recognizing that Scripture provides the answers to human suffering, sin, and brokenness. Understanding theologically sound principles will guide you in offering both spiritual and practical support to those in need.
• 2. Practical Counseling Skills: You’ll develop essential counseling techniques, learning how to listen effectively, ask probing questions, and offer guidance while maintaining a compassionate and understanding approach. These skills are tailored to support individuals dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, family conflicts, and spiritual struggles.
• 3. Personal and Spiritual Development: Through the program, you will also focus on your own personal growth, as counseling others often requires self-awareness and spiritual maturity. The program encourages participants to reflect on their own relationship with God and deepen their understanding of His Word, which in turn strengthens their ability to help others.
