"I came to Western asking a lot of questions about suffering and grief. What you end up learning is that you aren’t the one who gives all the answers to people in pain. Instead, you walk with them and let Jesus do the transformation.”
“Western's program not only teaches the science and tools necessary for practicing psychotherapy, but supports this education with biblical and theological courses that nurture the soul. The seminary education is an invaluable foundation and a lifeline for Christians going into the counseling field.”
