| Integration of Faith | I believe that counseling and pastoral care involve more than behavioral management, applying new coping strategies to daily stressors, or helping people experience a higher level of functioning. While all that is certainly important, there is so much more to health and renewal in the midst of life's most difficult challenges and searing pain. Christ our Good Shepherd longs for more for us than to merely cope with our wounds and scars; when we invite His gentle Mercy, He heals our hearts and minds of the passions that impede His Grace that leads to our transformation and likeness in His Image. The Church teaches that our union with God (theosis) is the crowning goal of the Christian life. My role as a wounded healer (one who has experienced healing in my own life through the power of Christ) is to help people discover for themselves the redemptive presence of Christ in their suffering so they may receive His extravagant love. |
