Equipped To Counsel
Level 1 & 2
Are you considering pursuing certification in Biblical Counseling? Equipped to Counsel is designed to equip followers of Christ with the ability to apply the gospel in personal and specific ways to the heart and struggles of others. We will address both the theology and practice of gospel-centered counseling.
Over 8 months, participants will be prepared to minister effectively to individuals, couples, and families with a biblical perspective on change in the context of community through a combination of live courses, journal articles, real-time counseling practice oversight and feedback, training videos, developmental assignments, and more. Issues such as addictions, anxiety, anger, and depression will be covered from the framework of a Biblical counseling worldview.

Individual Courses and Membership
Through ongoing curriculum development, we are expanding the reach and impact of biblical counseling by creating educational resources that equip caregivers for today's ministry challenges.We develop CE-eligible educational resources that equip biblical counselors, pastors, and ministry leaders for faithful and effective care. Our courses cover a range of topics including domestic oppression and abuse, the Holy Spirit in counseling, the body’s role in care, dissociation, and other key issues in biblical counseling.
By combining biblical conviction with thoughtful engagement of contemporary concerns, these resources help churches and counseling ministries provide informed, compassionate, and effective care. Courses may be purchased individually, or accessed through a low monthly subscription that provides full access to our entire training library.

Love & Lament: Biblical Encouragement for Parents of Estranged Adult Children
As our first Love & Lament group comes to a close, one thing has become clear: many parents are carrying the deep grief and complexity of estrangement and longing for support, wisdom, and community.
In response to this need, we are opening a new Love & Lament support group—a space where parents can find encouragement, understanding, and hope alongside others walking a similar path. In this 8-week group, participants will delve into scriptural truths regarding relational brokenness with adult children and work to move past shame and confusion to gospel clarity and hope.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR TRAINING COURSES
DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
This class has been life-changing and has turned me upside down in a good way. It has changed some of my preconceived notions of people, their sufferings and helped me to be more compassionate and less judgmental of others.
This class has given me a better understanding of who God has made me and what His purposes are for my life.
This course has changed me. I signed up because I wanted to learn how to help others. What I didn't expect was how much it was going to help me personally. I will never see relationships the same again.
