Description

The Word of God teaches that every Believer is equipped with spiritual gifts (1Co.12:7-11; Ro.12:3).  These gifts are given for the purpose of enabling Christians to fulfill his/her own individual call to ministry, as well as assisting and ministering to others in the Body of Christ and the world. Certainly not every person is called to a ministry of Christian counseling; however, it is likely that, as one seeks to fulfill God’s plan for his life, he will encounter times when he will be called upon to provide Bible instruction to bring healing and care into the heart and soul of another. We can define Christian counseling by its difference from the typical secular counseling. Christian counseling is different in that it deals with the spiritual dimension, rather than only the soul man. Christian counseling is based upon spirituality, which we find truths about in the Bible.  Psychiatry, on the other hand, is based on what has passed for scientific research, which has been faulty at times. In this subject, we’re going to learn about the counselor, personal issues, interpersonal issue, and family issues.
