INTRODUCTION

Track 1 was amazing. You have started to minister the Word personally, but you find that need more help. Track 2 builds on the foundational training by discussing additional tools needed to counsel well. We choose topics commonly discussed in the counseling room. For example, learners will be further equipped in understanding our identity in Jesus, how to bring the gospel implications to generate Christ-centered sanctification, and more in-depth instruction concerning the role of the inner man in the change process. We will also provide biblical instruction on topics such as crisis counseling, same-sex attraction, and the importance of our union with Christ. Learners will be best served if they take Track 1 first.

Structure of the course

Lifeway Baptist Church is partnering with Faith Counseling to provide the best and most efficient training.
This course includes 30 hours of video instruction and a comprehensive notebook.
  • Two-thirds of the instruction will be viewed in-person at Lifeway. This will enable us to talk and learn together, led by pastor Doug Stewart and ACBC certified Melinda Von Bokern.
  • One-third of the instruction will be required to be viewed at home. This allows us to finish in roughly 10 weeks.
  • While the entire course can be done personally at home, we encourage everyone to participate in the scheduled group meetings.

Organizations

Association of Biblical Counselors (ACBC)

ACBC Home Page
ACBC equips Christians to provide biblical solutions for the problems people face. We accomplish this through certification that upholds faithful practice with doctrinal integrity and biblical sufficiency, resources that build up the church, and networks that promote biblical counseling excellence.

Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF)

CCEF Home Page
The aim of CCEF is to consider how caring for people’s souls can be increasingly wise and helpful. This is sometimes identified as biblical counseling. We intend this not as a protected trademark but as a body of work to which many contribute. It describes the troubles we face, how those troubles are experienced, how God speaks to us during those troubles, and how we help each other with wisdom and love.

Biblical Counseling Coalition (BCC)

BCC Home Page
Our goal is to foster collaborative relationships and to provide robust, relevant biblical resources that equip the Body of Christ to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. We desire to advance the biblical counseling movement in Christ-centered cooperation by relating in ways that are loving and wise, pursuing the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 

Faith Biblical Counseling Ministry

Faith Home Page
We understand that there are times in life where you just need a helping hand. We want to come alongside you to encourage you with Biblical truth that will make a lasting impact. We believe that God has given us all we need to know Him and to live in a way that is pleasing to Him. All our difficulties may not evaporate. However, when a person willingly submits to God's instructions and clings to his promises there is hope and help.
