Course Description

Counseling is all about change (people who want change, people who don’t know how to change, people who need help to change, people who resist change, and people who can’t leave their current circumstances and accept the help to change). We seek to carefully discover those areas in which a believer may be disobedient to the principles and commands of Scripture and to help him/her learn how to lovingly submit to God’s will. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the supreme revelation of and from God. (John 5:38; 2 Timo. 3:16-17; 1 Pet.1:23-25). Christian counseling knows the carnal nature must be reckoned dead. The overriding goal of the counselor should be to lead the client to the place where he\she is able to respond biblically to every circumstance, and eventually to help others do the same.

The three courses serve as a comprehensive guide and as a reference manual in the field of Christian faith-based clinical counseling for the whole man.

FORWORD BY FOUNDER (Rev. Bill Yeary, ND, CFCC, CNHP, PE.)

The ministry of faith-based counseling is becoming a recognized profession as hundreds are obtaining the recognition of being professionally trained and certified. IIBC in taking Christian faith-based counseling to a new level and setting a standard for clinical Christian counseling.

The Bible is and will always be the standard of truth in the affairs of men. It is not college degrees that make an effective counselor, but one who has the mind of Christ, the love of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit. God intended for all Christians to be involved in counseling to some degree. You have what it takes to become an effective counselor used by God to help hurting people.

These three courses serve as a comprehensive guide and as a reference manual in the field of Christian faith-based clinical counseling for the whole man. Jesus died for the whole man and it is the certified counselor’s privilege and responsibility to guide others in matters of health and healing.

Each course builds upon the other, yet, combined, together are an intense comprehensive training program. The manuals are meant to be straightforward and written for practical application without excessive verbiage or theoretical discussion. They are a compilation of years of research and experience that represent a proven standard of success currently being exemplified nationally and internationally.

May the Lord bless you in the ministry of reconciliation and may your faith and vision always be bigger than your problems.
