Biblical Counseling Ministry

Counseling with the Word of God

We seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems people face. We believe that God has given us all things for life and godliness through His Holy Word and that there is hope to face any problem in life when we handle it His Way.

Are you facing a problem and feeling there is nothing more you can do? Are you having a difficult time understanding and dealing with issues like anger, anxiety, bitterness, depression, guilt or grief? Maybe you have given up hope for overcoming some stubborn addiction, financial challenge, eating issue or physical challenge. There is hope and there is help! God can cause all the trials of your life to accomplish a greater good in the end, if you will seek Him and His answers. This is the clear hope repeatedly testified throughout Scripture and by the many who have come for help.

What is Biblical Counseling?

(From the ACBC website)

What is the Nature of Biblical Counseling?

Biblical counseling is the personal discipleship ministry of God’s people to others under the oversight of God’s church, dependent upon the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word through the work of the Holy Spirit.

What is the Goal of Biblical Counseling?

Biblical counseling seeks to reorient disordered desires, affections, thoughts, behaviors, and worship toward a God-designed anthropology in an effort to restore people to a right fellowship with God and others.

What is the Method of Biblical Counseling?

This is accomplished by speaking the truth in love and applying Scripture to the need of the moment by comforting the suffering and calling sinners to repentance, thus working to make them mature as they abide in Jesus Christ.

Q. How Can I get started?
A. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please reach out to tsbc@yahoo.com

Q. What can I expect if I decide to come?
A. Privacy. Everything will be held in strict confidence except where, in the counselor's judgment, there is a biblical requirement to involve others (e.g. criminal activity).
Care. Our counselors will care for you and treat you with respect.
Encouragement toward Christ-likeness. Our counselors will encourage you in your successes and exhort you to think and behave in a way that pleases Jesus Christ.

Q. How long does the counseling process usually last?
A. Normally, counseling sessions will last one hour per week. Many counselees see significant progress in eight to twelve sessions. Give us a little time. Habits were not developed overnight and new habits will take several weeks to develop.

Q. What is the cost?
A. All counseling is done free of charge as a ministry of Tumbling Shoals Baptist Church

Q. What about medical needs?
A. Biblical counselors believe in the total health needs of the counselee. Your counselor may recommend that you have a full or specified medical examination. If medical assistance is required, counseling will continue in conjunction with medical advice.

Q. Will I need to bring anything with me to my counseling session?
A. You will need a notebook and your Bible at all sessions, including the first session. Be sure to bring them each time.
