For some people, trust was dismantled in childhood by unpredictable parents, abuse, or unexpected tragedies. When this happens, people find it hard to listen to their intuition. They’ve learned that close relationships are risky, and that trust opens them to experience hurt.

If you’re a Christian, and you are looking for a counselor, it might be very important to you to see a therapist who shares your faith. You see that some therapists label themselves as Christian counselors, others as biblical counselors, and others just advertise that they integrate spirituality into their practice. What does all this mean? The answer is complicated, because these labels aren’t standardized.

Our God—the Creator of the entire universe—made you intentionally and with great care. He is not distant or indifferent to His creation; He is intimately involved in it. There is nowhere you can go to escape His presence, and nothing about you that He does not know. He formed you in your mother’s womb, and He continues to care for you every single day. Before anyone else knew you existed, God knew you—and planned all of your days.

Losing a baby to miscarriage or stillbirth is a grief unlike any other. It can feel as though the ground has fallen out from beneath you. The dreams you carried for your child—hopes of holding, nurturing, and watching them grow—suddenly end far too soon. For many women, this loss brings not only deep sadness but also feelings of isolation, fear, and questions that are hard to put into words.

The pain of suicide loss is indescribable, often leaving family and friends feeling as though the world has been shattered beyond repair. In those first days and months, survival itself can feel impossible. God’s Word reminds us that He is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Healing takes time, perseverance, and support.

We live in a fallen world. Often we are so steeped in the brokenness of the world that we forget the power that light has over darkness. As Christians, we live in a state of “in-between.”  Hebrews 13:14 says, “For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come” (NLT). This blog discusses finding God’s hand and goodness in the beauty of nature.

Within the past decades, digital communication has skyrocketed. As online connection has increased, many people have found that physical connections are harder to make. Many people desire closeness, but find that poor mental health makes it difficult to trust, have energy, or even feel that they have something to offer in relationships. This blog discusses feelings of disconnection we may feel.

In a world filled with brokenness, pain, and moments of deep darkness, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Our hearts grieve as we see the weight of evil and suffering around us, and sometimes we may wonder where God is in the midst of it all.

The good news of Scripture reminds us that God is never shaken. From beginning to end, He is sovereign over all things. The Lord reigns on His throne, working all things together for the good of His people and for His own glory.
