Through a relationship that I had for many years I realized I needed counseling to help work through some personal problems.

I struggled to understand the relationship, which led me to seek answers in the Bible, church, the advice of friends, some Christian counseling, spiritual support groups, and Christian self-help books. Now looking back I can see that God placed someone in my path who talked about Biblical Counseling Center. Then a year or so later, I was serving at a church in Chicago where someone was teaching on Biblical Counseling.
I got the sense that God was up to something.
Later when I invited a friend to join a men’s Scripture study, he shared his story of transformation through God’s Word as he counseled at Biblical Counseling Center. I could see the Holy Spirit pointing me to a deeper relationship with Him through His Word. So I signed up for a counseling session, as well as starting the Foundations of Biblical Counseling class.
Now my life is focused on being transformed through a childlike relationship with my Heavenly Father, then to love my neighbor as myself. I’ve learned to first deal with the 4x4 in my own eye; then, other people’s issues appear as a speck. I’m learning to be more humble and childlike knowing I can’t do life on my own.
