What does the Bible say about counseling? In Week 7 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed, Pastor Mike sat down with part of his community counsel to help us remove the scare from counseling and remind us that it is SAFE. This dynamic panel walked us through the scriptures, taught us about the different types of counsel, and shared their experience with licensed therapy. Counseling is not just to get rid of trauma but it allows you to uncover your God-given treasure. Pastor Mike leaves us with a call to action to attend at least 3 counseling sessions by the end of April 2024. Will you accept the challenge to go from trauma to triumph?
