CRISIS COUNSELING
Helping Those in Peril Experience the Sustaining Presence of God

“I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken” Psalm 16:8

When people suffer a life-shattering loss (i.e. relationship, health, job, retirement, marriage, child, position, reputation) it can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, an escape of responsibilities or an excessive pursuit of pleasure (i.e., reckless spending, substance abuse, foolish relationship rebounding, etc.). These four sessions will powerfully persuade and practically direct you or those you counsel away from these faithless responses through the perspectives of the Scripture. You or those you seek to help will find a hope that heals and wisdom that leads. Don't waste sorrow and loss, redeem it. Things will work out in the end for better, but only by following Truth. Sign up to learn the truth about crises. This training includes a manual filled with principles and ready-to-use assignments to help you apply what you learn.

The following topics are covered in this 4 session course: Gaining comfort through an in-depth study of the sufferings of Job, Jesus and Joseph; showing the love of Christ and speaking the Truth of Christ to the person in crisis; teaching effective biblical meditation strategies to those in crisis; calling the person in crisis to discover God's purposed good in the bad by moving forward in faith. Come to class with pain, but leave with hope and direction.
