This course aims to discover and identify the underlying issues by asking the Lord to guide the counselee in searching his/her heart and receive counsel from others to determine the issue(s). It also seeks to uncover and explore by beginning the process of laying aside the things that hinder the seeker’s spiritual, mental, and emotional health. The course will also seek to recover and restore by strengthening the counselee’s identity with Christ. This is covered by the truths of God’s word in the heart of the counselee. The change of behavior and heart depends on how counselee endures and perseveres. Common Issues in Biblical Counseling include emotional awareness/intelligence, anger, depression, shame, worry, anxiety, fear, panic, sexual lust, immorality, homosexuality, gender matters, self-harm and suicide, trauma, marriage and family, compassion, and ministry fatigue.
