Biblical Christian counseling is different than other counseling approaches. It is rooted in a biblical worldview; using the lens of Scripture to size-up this life.
You might be surprised to learn how the label “Christian counseling” is being used today. Typically, this type of counseling is not based on the Bible. The term is being used because the counselor is a Christian and won’t come against your faith. However, this believer is trained in, and almost exclusively uses, secular approaches. That’s very different than Biblical Christian counseling.
- Biblical counseling doesn’t leave God or the Bible out of the picture.
- It recognizes that joy and satisfaction in life are not goals in and of themselves. They come when our spirit is thriving.
- It calls us to live in community, not isolation.
The Bible’s perspective often contradicts secular values. That makes biblical counseling, at times, different than what you would hear in secular counseling.
Priorities
With Pastor Tim Tyler, you will be reminded of God’s priorities for us. Here are a few:
–Love God above all else.
–Love those you encounter as much as you love yourself.
–Love other believers in Christ Jesus.
–Be kind, even if that involves suffering for Christ.
Those priorities don’t lead us into simplistic answers to life’s problems: answers like “just do the loving thing.” Life is complicated; we need wisdom from above. We also have to find strength to “speak the truth in love” and act accordingly.
As you sort out life in conversation with Tim Tyler, you will hear about God’s perspective, and different ways of doing things. You’ll have help deciding on your best options, and whatever you choose to do, you will be treated with respect and kindness.
Outcomes
No matter what the problem that you or a loved one is dealing with, there’s no better time to address it than now.
The vast majority of people we have counseled found the solutions they needed through biblical Christian counseling. Sometimes the outcomes have been dramatic, like abruptly stopping divorce proceedings and reconciling, but more often progress has come in stages. We offer not only a different way to see your circumstances, but also the practical advice and support needed to apply that new vision and get results in your situation.
