Counsellor’s Corner – August: What has God taught you through your winter season?
(Artwork)
“…participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead” (Philippians 3:10–11, NIV).
As winter draws to a close and signs of spring begin to appear, we are reminded that difficult seasons do not last forever. Mental health reminds us that hope is not denial, but endurance with expectation. Paul did not seek suffering, but he allowed it to deepen his faith while keeping his focus on God’s ultimate promise. As you reflect on the months behind you, consider how challenges may have shaped you rather than defined you. Perhaps resilience has grown, perspective has deepened, or trust in God has been strengthened. God does not waste pain; He redeems it. Even when change is not yet fully visible, we can hold on to the hope that He is at work beyond what we can see, bringing growth, renewal, and life.
Announcement:
The SATS Counselling Roadshow is here!
From August to November 2026, SATS is visiting churches across South Africa with a practical training experience designed to help Christians listen deeply and ask wisely when people hurt.
Through a pre-training video series, a live interactive workshop, and follow-up resources, you will learn simple but powerful skills for caring conversations in everyday ministry and life.
Join us as we grow in compassion, wisdom, and Christ-centred care.
Please note: 7 CPD points (2 for ethics) will be awarded to CPSC affiliates who complete the full training.
