Life Coaching & Biblical counseling Services

With the rise of Internet and web-based communications, people have become comfortable turning to online resources for spiritual counseling and guidance. The traditional church is no longer defined by physical location as much as social interaction. As a result, web-based Biblical counseling services as well as life coach services have flourished. What do websites like these offer you?  These sites offer the user privacy and confidentiality.

I am now bringing my Biblical counseling and life coaching services online across my blogs, and will now be able to walk side by side with my clients encouraging them not only face-to-face, but for those of you who are harder to reach, I can now work with you through venues such as the telephone, e-mail, Skype and Oovue.

In the past few weeks we have seen our comments increase with people who are hurting and looking for solutions.  I believe what I offer through this blog has helped and continues to help many of you, but I feel that it is no longer enough.  Sometimes what is needed by those of you, seeking— is for us to talk one-on-one allowing me to delve deeper into your specific situation, listen to you, and prayerfully walk along side of you.  This is something that I can’t offer you through the videos and post alone.

Please understand that I am not a doctor, nor am I a licenses counselor.  I’ve been trained in Biblical counseling, and if at anytime I ever feel that you— my client, needs are beyond the scope of my services, training and experience, I will let you know and together we will work hard in finding a suitable professional to assist you with your needs.

So you may be asking . . .

Why do people hire me? 

It’s very simple.  People hire me for my competence,  and my canning abilities, which the Bible calls discernment.  God has given me a gift of being able to listen and hear what people are saying.  And from this skill I am able to analyze situations and teach others step-by-step how to get to the root of what’s bothering them, teaching them the life skill of finding solutions.

These are skills that have always been with me, but were later fashioned into a gift that God has been able to use through me to teach others how to enhance their lives by first thinking and seeking out the root cause for their life’s  hindrances.  This method serves for a better way of life, teaching others how to live a life that is examined.

Some of my experiences have been . . .

For 10 years I was a deacon who was responsible for approximately ten families.  During this season I worked with couples in their marriages; I worked with single parents, teens, individuals, and I saw a lot of crisis situations.  This gave me the opportunity and desire to begin in Biblical Counseling where I also began to celebrate after working hard with people, seeing them come into their “aha” moment.  After a time of serving families, I was asked to oversee the deacons where I dealt extensively with men from many backgrounds and personalities.  When my wife gave birth to our twins I felt that particular season of my life had ended and a new one began, so I stepped down to assist her with our new babies.

Although I stepped down from the ministry of being a deacon, I continued teaching in our churches marriage ministry where I taught for eight years.  During this time I also attended College of Biblical studies where I took Bible study methods and other courses.  From there I went on to be trained in more Biblical counseling and continued in my other services mentoring men {14 years now} and holding Bible studies in my home.

An example of a typical e-mail support program for a client is diagnosis and evaluation of the problem.  I may ask you to provide additional information to get a fuller picture of your situation.

After I get your information I will then give you feed back with a detailed analysis and explanation of what you have provided with questions, reality check points and action points for you to take, followed by my responds to your replies.  Many people prefer the written option as it gives them an opportunity to use it as their own personal manual.  All correspondence will be put into a PDF document in an organized fashion for you to have it to refer to along with relevant links for support and tips.

If some of your queries are of smaller nature, they may be billed at a lower rate.  Consultation and coaching are done M-F with times varying.  Exceptions are made for emergencies.

Ongoing support with most is generally once or twice a week scheduled sessions.  If the support is by phone, the calls will last an hour with the first 50 minutes  being discussions and the last ten minutes consisting of wrap-up.
