At Restore to Life Counseling we provide services to those who have a faith in Jesus Christ and desire to follow Him. The reason we title it Christian Biblical Counseling is within the counseling field their tends to be a big divide between Biblical Counseling and Christian Counseling. Biblical Counseling tends to focus on the Bible being fully sufficient and believing God’s Word is what will bring the change, therefore psychology is diminished significantly in this approach. Christian Counseling on the other hand tends to focus more on psychology as a foundation while putting the Bible to the side. While both approaches have great aspects we believe they are not fully complete and can be better utilized when combined with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
At Restore to Life Counseling we see an importance of blending both psychology and the Bible together for the Kingdom of God. While the God given counseling approaches and skills we provide are transformative the reality of connecting to Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and His Word is the foundation of change. Without this connection transformation and restoration will not take place to it’s fullest. We make connecting with Jesus and the Holy Spirit a center piece of counseling whether you are dealing with relationship challenges, lack of purpose, illness, questions of God’s goodness, depression, anxiety, addiction, shame, or trauma.
The main ways this is accomplished is by walking people through 4 pillars and they are reading the Bible, Prayer, Spiritual Warfare, and Identity in Christ. These 4 areas tend to get overlooked, but they are the key to deepening a walk with Jesus and walking free. Reading the Bible is so much more than learning information, but truly knowing God more in relationship. Prayer is more than just communication, but communion and partnership with the One who loves you. Spiritual Warfare is a regular battle in our lives and the lives of others, especially in our minds. We need to know how to respond and take a stand. Identity in Christ is one of the most important concepts of the Christian life, because we need to know and believe who He says we are. What we believe about ourselves will determine how we live and show up in the world, relating to people and to God. What if you are a believing a lie that God does not want you to believe? We have to know our identity in order to combat the lies properly. Our philosophy at Restore to Life Counseling is our thoughts/beliefs will impact how we feel and determine our behavior so once our thoughts and beliefs change, transformation takes place and having Jesus part of this journey is essential.
