Christian Counseling

If you feel the Lord is leading into the area of counseling there are many Christian counseling courses available. Your local community college may offer Christian counseling courses, or a Christian college or also many may be available online. If a person or couple are seeking Christian counseling they usually look into a counselor who has earned a counseling degree from a reputable source.

Is Christian Counseling God Directed?

If you are directed by God to earn a Christian counseling degree He will fill you with a love and desire to help others. These Christian counseling degrees and certifications will add validity to your calling. In counseling sessions God will direct you to the appropriate biblical references with which you can advise people. The Bible should always be the basis of your counseling.

Christian Education & Certification

This is a difficult calling and one must always be led by God. God anointed several biblical men through Moses to be leaders and advisers.

Lev 8:1 -3 The Lord said to Moses, "Now bring Aaron and his sons, along with their special clothing, the anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread to the entrance of the Tabernacle. Then call the entire community of Israel to meet you there." (NLT)

As in Leviticus, when earning a Christian counseling degree you will receive your certificate or degree from qualified men who have also been ordained. Upon graduation, you will be "anointed" so to speak) certified by your professors that they believe, and will acknowledge this before other students, faculty members and family, that you are qualified and led by God into the counseling profession.

Christian Counseling Debt

If you are seeking Christian counseling debt be sure that the counselor is a Christian and well educated in the area of finances. There are Christians who were formerly employed in the financial field who make wonderful Christian counseling debt advisers.

You may be seeking advice and it has been a huge step for you to take. You don't want to waste precious time and further increase your debt, with someone who may not be able to truly help. If you are seeking this type of advice get recommendations from friends, colleagues or more importantly, from your home church.

Do Your Research

It is a blessing to have individuals that are obeying the Lord's calling by helping their fellow Christians in whatever area they may need counsel. It is also vitally important to get your education from a reliable, accredited Christian college. If you are seeking advice from a professional Christian counselor please verify that your counselor has received their certification through a qualified and accredited Christian counseling course and how experienced they are in the Christian counseling field.
