Christian Counselling 1

In a world saturated with sin, there is no way that Christians are going to be living perfectly healthy trouble-free lives. Therefore, leaders and others need to develop the necessary skills to help strengthen the Body of Christ. By the end of this course you should be able to:

• Demonstrate broad understanding of Christian counselling as a field within pastoral care, including its terminology, basis, goals, and techniques.
• Appreciate the changes that take place in different stages of life, and use this knowledge to enrich your own life as a counsellor.
• Use the Bible appropriately as a counselling tool for people struggling with personal issues such as anxiety, unforgiveness, depression, and illness.
• Help people to cope better with child-rearing, violence, abuse, crises, and grief.
