Do you agree that counseling is not fully Christian if a counselor’s faith shapes their posture but not their methods?
Yes
Do you agree that the deepest personal help a person needs cannot be fully received apart from faith in Christ, even through counseling?
Yes
Do you agree that Scripture speaks authoritatively to the deepest roots of human problems?
Yes
Do you agree that it is not appropriate to support or affirm a client’s chosen course of action when it conflicts with Scripture, even in the name of autonomy?
No
Why?
I believe that God allows free will and we have the opportunity to choose to follow God and his Word or to make our own decisions. I, as a counselor, do not believe in directing my clients to make a decision, but helping them honor their values and when those values align with the Christian life, I will encourage them in that path.
Do you agree that people do not possess all the internal resources needed for truth and healing apart from God, regardless of insight, support, or time?
Yes
