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. Participants will be prepared to minister effectively to individuals, couples, and families with a biblical perspective on change in the context of community. Issues such as addictions, anxiety, anger, and depression will be covered. This course is excellent for pastors, lay counselors, small group/missional community leaders, ministry staff, and anyone wanting to learn how to better care for others.
