Christian Counseling is a Calling

Many people ask the question, “What’s the difference between a Christian Counselor and a secular Counselor?”  The difference couldn’t be more stark. The most important difference is the fact that a Christian Counselor uses the Bible, Prayer and godly encouragement, along with sound and proven counseling techniques to help his or her client. The fact is, Christian Counseling is more of a calling than it is a carrier. For those who feel called into the Christian ministry of Counseling, it is vital to receive the proper training so that you can provide the best support and assistance possible, while leading the client closer to the Lord. Pastoral Counseling has been around for many years, and is an important part of our society. Sadly, many people still don’t realize that they can receive quality counseling from a well-trained person, that just happens to be a Christian Counselor as well. God has the answers for every problem humans can face. Doesn’t it make sense to turn to Him with our needs and concerns?
