Care for Your Soul
We all go to the doctor regularly to keep ourselves healthy. But in life, we often prioritize our physical health over our spiritual health. Sometimes, we have the entirety of the Bible and the church before us, but we don’t know how it applies to us. We need someone to speak with us specifically about how Scripture and theology apply to our Christian lives, with their difficulties and joys.
Soul Care
When we’re suffering, many forms of therapy address the symptoms but ignore the cause. Some look at the parts but lose sight of the whole. We need care that looks at the whole, the teaching of Scripture, our psychology, our relationships with other people, and our relationship with God.

We believe that God made us embodied souls, in need of physical and psychological nurturing as well as spiritual sustenance. Wise counsel must be shaped by the goal of conformity to Christ and by the teaching of Scripture. It must also reckon with the physical and psychological aspects of our suffering, from which our spiritual problems cannot be separated.

While counseling is designed to intervene in times of distress, soul care is a form of spiritual and psychological care for all times and phases of life. It is designed, not as a Christian or biblical version of psychotherapy, but a form of Christian discipleship, shaped by the our needs as sojourners on the path of Christ.

The church is a means God uses to care for our soul; but in the modern church, this task can sometimes be neglected. The ecclesia, the church as described in Scripture, includes the fellowship of believers beyond the local church. Extended, one-to-one soul care is often difficulty to find locally. We do not intend to replace your local church but to supplement it with deliberate and personalized discipleship, counseling, and coaching: soul care.
