Study Bible History And Theology At Northeastern Seminary

As a Christian counseling, I realize that I am an adjunct, specializing in a practice that is appropriately attached to and derived from the core practice, as it is legally defined (Clinton and Ohlschlager, p133). I also realize that I am more than a counselor; however, I have become a soul-care artisan, a disciple, a mentor, a spiritual director, and a guide into the deeper way of Christ (p132). Therefore, every Christian counseling session, I have encountered, has started with a prayer, to welcome God into the midst, as the Holy Spirit take the lead and guides what is said by me, as the counselor. As a Christian counselor, it is my hope that my knowledge of Spiritual formation reshapes the inner man, by being formed spiritually from the inside out, transforming from a selfish and carnal existence to a holy and joyful one; by one’s faith, as well as, the client’s faith, in God (Clinton and Ohlschlager, p130)

The first goal I have is to understand the scriptures in the Bible and grow in my faith. When I started to look at colleges, I didn’t even think about attending a Christian college. I contacted a junior college in a nearby town to see what they had to offer me. By the grace of God, they recommend me to CCU. At the time that I enrolled, I didn’t realize that I would be required to take Bible classes. At first, I wondered

Ron Hawkins and Tim Clinton (2015), The New Christian Counselor: A Fresh Biblical & Transformational Approach book, is a resourceful guide for Christian counselors. Hawkins and Clinton (2015) state, “that the discipline of Christian Counseling is growing into a solid and substantiated multifaceted scriptural discipline of wide-reaching distinction” (p. 5). Furthermore, the definition of what Christian counseling is has changed over time.

My faith is very complicated,and very weak at this time in my life. I was raised as a Christian, and thought I was a Christian, but never made moves or took actions as a Christian. I come from a horrible background, but survived it and learned a few things along the way. Because of my past, I would love to put up a brick wall with all the negative feelings, thoughts and actions and move forward. That is what God wants,  and I know that  is best for me.  I would enjoy being apart of Oral Roberts University to practice and learn   more  while being more involved in Christianity. In my opinion, Christianity is life, and a life change. In which  I  need. I have began to study and read the bible. Since the bible is the word of God(1 Thessalonians 2:13)  I must read, study and obey it.(Acts 17:11). For the past few months,I have been devoted to praying more. I pray when i wake up,  especially when I am  in negative situations and even when I am happy to give thanks.I pray throughout the day, for forgiveness of my past, I give thanks for my past, for letting me live a little longer to have a chance to learn from such a horrible experience. I say a prayer for my love ones , the weak and the lost. And when my day is done I pray for myself and others to be able to have another chance and to see another day. I would love to find a healthy church that teaches the entire bible. My goals are not only to pursue a degree, but to pursue a change in life. I hope to be in a positive

For the last fifteen years I have served as an active duty Chaplain assistant in the United States Army. During that time I was responsible for providing central office administrative support by managing, and distributing correspondence, messages, forms and record keeping. I have Coordinated with organizations and agencies and acted as a liaison to augment Chaplain Programs and functions. I have conducted peer-to-peer counseling in the areas of grief management, suicide prevention, and organizational morale. Throughout my time in the Army I also learned such skills as conflict resolution, critical thinking and time management. I believe that these skills will be a great asset to achieving my goals and completing my degree at Colorado Christian University. The Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies degree program will allow me

A coworker of mine that I had grown close with would have weekly and sometimes daily conversations about The Bible and the Word of God and how it changes our lives. Once I told him of the changes that were soon to come my way, he began telling me I should attend CCU. After talking with him and reading the vision and mission statements of CCU, I knew this is where I should be. So eventually, I went online and asked to speak with a counselor to see what I needed to do to become a student and start this next exciting chapter of my life.

My commitment to my goal of receiving a Master’s degree in counseling has been demonstrated throughout my studies at Rollins by maintaining a GPA of 4.0, my willingness to support my cohort, and by exhibiting an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Although I had retired on a fixed income from a business career due to a disability, I have confirmed my potential, stamina, and desire to counsel through my volunteer work as a guardian advocate, working with people who suffer from addiction, and by remaining an advocate for the LGBTQ community. I have thrived with my undergraduate internship at the Center for Drug Free Living and with my prepracticum at Centaur.

Dr. Larry Crabb’s book “Effective Biblical Counseling: A Model for Helping Caring Christians Become Capable Counselor” Crabb, (1977), this book models how counseling can be gracefully integrated into implementation of the local church. The Goal of Christian Counseling that Dr. Crabb states within his book Crabb, (1977), is “any approach to counseling that is truly biblical will work most effectively when carried out into the context of a local body of believers” (pg. 13). As Dr. Crabb states within his book that “The goal of biblical counseling is to promote Christian maturity, to help people enter into a richer experience of worship and a more effective life of service” (pg. 31), This allows them grow

This paper is the development of my personal theory on Christian Counseling. I use many scriptural references to support my beliefs and stress the importance of gaining wisdom and knowledge from the bible. It incorporates all of the presentations, readings, and critiques I did at Liberty University’s Theology and Spirituality in counseling course. I talk about how I integrate Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality into my Christian counseling and believe that they all have a lot to offer the Christian counselor. The role of integration and multitasking is necessary to be an effective Christian counselor under the guidelines of the American Association of Christian

My former position as the Woods College of Advancing Studies Manresa Experience Graduate Assistant at Boston College, included piloting a common formation experience program for non-traditional students. The program was aimed at providing non-traditional undergraduate students with the opportunity to engage in and foster their professional, personal, and spiritual discernment. The program was guided by three themes: What is my vocation, calling, and purpose? What does it mean to be a Boston College Student? How do we incorporate faith into our decisions? The overall hope for this program was to cultivate a sense belonging for Woods College students within the school itself and within the larger Boston College community.

I first read Heidi Neumark’s memoir, Breathing Space: A Spiritual Journey in the South Bronx, the summer before entering seminary. I was in my early twenties, having just served for two years as a campus ministry at the University of Pittsburgh. Attending seminary so that I could eventually work for a religious non-profit. That summer I had no intention of becoming a pastor.

Mark R. McMinn’s (2011) Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality in Christian Counseling establish a way to bring Psychology, Theology, and Spirituality to Christian Counselors. He introduces a replica of how to integrate the three disciplines in the counseling office. The purpose of the book is to instruct counselors how to integrate categories of Psychology, Theology and Spirituality into Christian Counseling. McMinn (2011) contends that many challenges both professional and personal face Christian Counselors on the frontier of intradisciplinary integration. (Intradisciplinary integration is the new emerging frontier for Christian Counselors).

The study starts with greetings, highs, and lows. That time takes up about ten minutes. Afterwards, we transition to the Bible study. For fifteen minutes, we watch the lesson video for that day. After watching the video, we take anywhere from two to five minutes in silence to digest everything the video talked about. There is not one certain passage we concentrate on in the lesson. Instead, the study has the passages set up to where we look at different parts of the Bible that relate to the day’s lesson. The lesson does not seem to concentrate on the Bible’s multivalency due to close-ended questions. To adhere to this problem, I create my own questions in order to develop their deliberative theology.

I feel that my decision do graduate school was one of the first decisions that was guided by prayer. The majority of my decisions since graduating from Longwood University have been based on circumstances. When I graduated I decided not to move back home but to stay in the small town. My parents informed me that they would no long pay for anything and I needed to find a job to pay my bills. I graduated with a degree in therapeutic recreation. I began by applying to anywhere that had a position open regardless of if I wanted to work there or not. All of my experience was in parks and recreation. I knew that I did not want to work in psych, and with the elderly. However I applied to many behavioral health hospitals and retirement homes. The first place to off me a job was Poplar Springs Behavioral Health Hospital, which was a locked psych hospital. It was not something I wanted, however it was what I needed. I took the job figuring I would hate it, turned out I absolutely love mental health and behavioral health. After almost two years of work at Poplar Springs and driving an hour and a half to work each day my fiancé and I through it would be best to move closer to my family in Northern Virginia where there are better opportunities for jobs and jobs closer to our home. We moved before I turned 26, which is when I would be kicked off of my parent’s health insurance. I wanted a job at a hospital with teens. Again I needed a job so that I would have health

In examining my experience during the recent Cohort Intensives held at Payne Theological Seminary (PTS) in Wilberforce, Ohio; I was quite intrigued with how all of the scholars and guest speakers reinforced many of the initiatives I have already implemented in the context of my own ministry. Likewise, my time spent in class with my Cohort mentors Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie and Rev. Dr. Kenneth S. Robinson was both scholastically and spiritually invaluable. During the week-long Intensive class sessions with my mentors, I learned a number of new things about myself that I was not previously willing to address. In short, I had a moment of self-actualization that required some personal omissions on my part regarding my faith and yes some internalized oppression as labeled by author Gayraud S. Wilmore. Opening up in class and admitting a few of my own short-comings was nothing short of liberating. Suddenly, I felt as though I had an epiphany; that has given birth to a renewed zeal, mind, and spirit. For the first time in years I am certain that I am now moving closer to the apex of excellence where God intended me to be.
