Biblical counseling approaches problems and solutions from a Biblical worldview. The Bible provides guiding principles, encouragement, wisdom, and an array of beneficial resources which God has designed for our benefit and His glory. Biblical counseling addresses the challenges we face from a perspective of hope and assurance that God’s Word will guide us to fulfillment.
We provide Biblical counseling and consulting for individuals and couples. Because the Bible addresses every human need, we can help assist individuals struggling with family, marriage, parenting, addictions, personal struggles, fear, anger, grief, relationships problems, etc.
For a more in depth description of Biblical Counseling, see The Confessional Statement of the Biblical Counseling Coalition.
Those interested in receiving Biblical counseling and consulting can contact our office by either calling 210.636.1776 or emailing us at relationalimpactministries@gmail.com.
