The Year of Gospel-Centered Living
For me, by Christ’s grace, I want 2015 to be: The Year of Gospel-Centered Living.
Promoting Lasting, Gospel-Centered Change
I’m happy to commend GCC to any, and all biblical counselors, counselors-in-training, pastors, small group leaders, and anyone interested in learning how the Gospel of Jesus Christ moves in and through the human heart, reconciling man to God, and man to his neighbor.

Since counseling and discipleship are united by the gospel, Gospel-Centered Counseling is for anyone believer looking for hope rooted in Christ.
Theo-Drama and Gospel-Centered Counseling
