Do you know the true purpose of Christian counseling? Yes, it heals your heart. Yes, it fixes those parts of you, your mind, and your soul that are broken. That's mostly what people think of when they go to counseling. They also think that it's great for fixing relationship problems and helping you to know how to live with boundaries, how to get along with people, how to survive your job, etc.

But that's not the reason for counseling. The real reason for Christian counseling is to remove every obstacle inside or outside of you that keeps you from connecting with Christ. In Christian counseling, we're destroying the lies that you believe have been told to you or that you've adopted over the years about who you are and why you are. As those are destroyed, you get to finally join Christ in loving yourself.

In Christian counseling, we are adopting how God sees us and beginning to actually love who we are and how he designed us. And then, after counseling, when the obstacles are removed, we are free to be who God has called us to be and who we've always wanted to be.

Counseling is like a construction zone; we are tearing down the old, removing what is broken and what isn't working, and rebuilding you into someone that you really like, someone that you actually admire, and someone that you can love. So that means you can love your neighbor as yourself, as we're commanded to do. Because if I don't love me, I'm going to have a hard time loving you. So we rebuild a new, amazing, empowered you. That's what Christian counseling does. I just wanted you to know.
