SOUL CARE

There are three kinds of suffering that we all experience in varying degrees: 1) Hurtful and harmful things done to us by other people, 2) choices we make of our own volition that bring harm or pain to ourselves or others, and 3) the ordinary hardships, illnesses, and struggles of life. Sometimes those things are the natural part of living in a fallen world, it is what it is, and we learn to live with them. Sometimes it’s a direct result of our own sin. Other times, there can be a spiritual undertone that is wanting to keep us from intimacy with Jesus. Any one of those things can knock us off our feet, and we need help standing up again. That is where Biblical Soul Care comes in, where we walk with you to help you find answers and healing.

Jesus himself was familiar with suffering, even called a Man of Sorrows. So we aim to approach the ordinary, day-to-day suffering of human life through the eyes of our Savior, who became human and walked through the same difficulties of loss and grief and sorrow that we do – and now promises to be with us in our hardships of life. We aim to help people walk in the victory of the cross not on our own strength, but by the power of the Spirit. We want to see people delivered from oppressive darkness through repentance and truth, walking in the newness of life promised us in the blood of Jesus under the authority of the Word of God.

COUNSELING

MARRIAGE

When two sinners say “I Do”, you are bound to have some conflict! While marriage is a holy covenant between three parties – a man, woman and God – we understand that men and women have a sin nature that can cause problems in a marriage. These sin issues in a marriage can be, an inability to resolve conflict biblically, inability to compromise, a breakdown in communication, role confusion or frustration, struggles with addictions, struggles with pornography, deceitfulness, unresolved conflict over parenting styles, an affair and more. When we fail to abide in Christ and seek our own solutions to these problems, we often make our situation worse, which puts a greater strain on the marriage. These marriage issues can become very painful and lead to anger, depression, loneliness, bitterness, isolation and brokenness. Grace’s marriage counseling is prepared to help couples get back on track and find hope, healing and restoration for their marriage.

Parents might find themselves needing help in situations of grief, substance abuse, chronic illness, issues with extended family, a separation or divorce, blended family adjustments, behavior issues and more.
