Counseling

 

Last Updated on March 4, 2023 by Rocklyn Clarke

This page lists some of the counseling / therapeutic resources that our members may wish to consider.

Introduction

The pastoral staff at Life Church provide traditional pastoral care but, from time to time, members may also benefit from seeing a licensed counselor or a licensed therapist. The resources that appear here were added because they were recommended to us by people we trust. Nevertheless, we are not providing a blanket endorsement of these resources for public use. These resources are intended for our members and we are asking them to abide by the following guidelines in using them:
  • Please let the pastoral staff know if you have questions about how to choose one of these resources.
  • Please keep the pastoral staff informed about your experiences with using these resources.

This allows us to “prune” this page by recognizing those resources that are helpful and removing resources that our members do not find helpful.

Restoration

Sinful behavior has the potential to disrupt your relationship with your Christian family. Jesus teaches that, when this happens, that relationship needs to be restored to health (Matthew 18:15-20). This will often take place when you simply apologize and demonstrate your commitment to change – especially if the behavior is comparatively minor and/or not broadly known. There are other times however when a more formal process is called for. Here are some resources related to the restoration process:

Spiritual Warfare

Trauma
