Why biblical counseling?
We understand that life can be full of hardships and struggles. In fact, Jesus told his disciples in John 16:33 that they can expect struggles in this world. His words are true for you and I today, but Jesus didn’t stop there. He goes on to tell his disciples that there is hope and help through Jesus and the power of the gospel. Through biblical counseling, we help you apply God’s truth to life’s struggles for your good and His glory.
What is biblical counseling?
Biblical counseling begins with the truth that God’s word is sufficient for every need of the human soul (Ps.19:7-14).
Not only does God’s word pierce every barrier man builds within himself, God’s word is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Heb. 4:12).
Therefore, only a personal ministry centered on Christ and anchored in Scripture can offer hope and help for lasting change.
At Harvest, we provide compassionate counseling, full of grace and truth, as we walk with you through life’s struggles.
