Life Over Coffee Devotions
Desperate for help, Mable approached her pastor for guidance. However, he admitted he did not feel equipped to address the complexities of their marital struggles and advised her to seek a local Christian counselor. Following his suggestion, Mable began a search online for a biblical counselor. In her search, Mable came across your social media platform, which highlights your Christian counseling services. She emailed you, briefly outlining her marital challenges. She wrapped up with this question: “Are you certified?”
Mable’s question reflects her desire for assurance that the counselor she chooses is both competent and aligned with practical biblical principles. Her inquiry reveals her need for confidence as she navigates the sensitive and complex task of addressing long-standing issues in her marriage. Mable’s priority is finding someone she can trust to provide biblical wisdom and practical support.
