Crisis Counseling
In our world today, faith-based crisis counseling is unfortunately misunderstood and underutilized and during times of grief, apprehension, violence, disasters and terrorism. Faith based crisis counseling has primarily been associated with church attendance. Many have the misconception that if they don’t attend or belong to a specific church, counseling is not available.

Parenting On Purpose will lay a foundation that can provide for better and more informed choices. However, ultimately, children will eventually exercise their God given right to choose. Now a look at the foundations. Children do change our lives. They change our lives dramatically because of the very nature that children have, which is one of total dependence upon us to care for them. Most of us know, from a serious viewpoint, that it is a great privilege to have children and a privilege to raise them. It is a wonderful thing to see your children succeed, grow and hopefully become better than what you ever dreamed you could become. Most parents I talk with have great dreams and hopes for their children. Unfortunately, children have their own agenda, and at times can stray in unpleasant even dangerous directions.
Christian and Psychology & Basic Counseling bachelor
The word itself means the study of the soul. Minirth and Meier give a broader definition in their Introduction to Psychology and Counseling, ”Psychology is the scientific study of the behavior of organism. Basically psychologists try to find out what makes people tick and how their minds work. Psychology might be thought of as the study of how living creatures are able to interact with their environment and each other, and how they cope successfully or unsuccessfully with that environment” (p. 15). In other words, psychology is the study of how people live, why they do what they do and what can be done to help them live better ,’Christian’ psychology are fast approaching the status once reserved for Scripture. Yet, it is important that we analyze that movement in the light of the Word.
