1) Biblical Counseling
Biblical counselors have been trained to utilize the Bible in a counseling context by applying practical and hopeful biblical principles to real life situations and problems. Christians who
find they are struggling with various problems need an understanding of the awesome resources available in biblical solutions that offer real hope and practical help.
2) Hope and Help – Homosexuals
Demonstrates that homosexuality is not genetic in origin. Rather, it is a learned behavior. Changing this behavior is possible, thereby completing the circle of hope for both the individual and family.
