About the program
The program does not offer a study of the latest popular trends in psychology. On the contrary, it aims to show that neither secular nor Christian psychology is effective in bringing about radical and lasting change in a person’s behavior or inner conflicts.
The program is entirely focused on a careful study of the key passages and books of the Bible that bear on counseling, and it equips students with the skills needed to interpret, apply and proclaim the whole counsel of God.
