Caring for People God's Way
5 Seasons
Marriage problems, divorce, sexual addiction, substance abuse, anxiety, depression…our world is full of brokenness. In many ways, the pace, pain and pressures of modern day life have taken over. Who doesn’t feel a little overwhelmed (maybe a lot) and stressed? Although this appears to be the worst of times, something seems to be happening around the world—people are searching for relief, hope, healing and restoration. I believe they are looking for God. Brokenness begs for healing.
If there was ever a time and need for Godly leadership, servanthood and biblical counseling, it is NOW!
In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Paul explains that the Lord is the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our tribulations, so that we, in turn, can comfort others with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. Caring for People God’s Way is biblically-based, featuring some of the world’s leading counselors, Bible teachers and professors. The goal is to help you understand the tough issues people wrestle with today and use the Bible with confidence with those who need clear direction and could use some strong encouragement.
