CHRISTIAN COUNSELING

    In these courses you will study the basics of Christian Counseling.  Each course is a prerequisite for the next counseling course and all need to be completed, in order, before proceeding to the next counseling course.  The book of Job course is also considered a counseling course along with the following courses and all are core courses that must be completed by all students.  However, the book of Job may be studied at any time and is not a prerequisite course for the counseling courses on this page.

    If you have not yet studied the Book of Job course, which is also a counseling course, you may access it by clicking the name of the course.

    If you have not yet studied the Spiritual Warfare course, which is also a counseling course, you may access it by clicking the name of the course.

Christian Counseling I.
   
       Textbook                    Workbook                    

   Counseling is an area where most preachers and workers suffer from a woeful lack of proper training. In this course you will be taught some basic, practical, counseling principles.  You will not be a polished counselor when you finish this course but you will have some practical, biblical, approaches to help with many of the typical problems faced by people in general. 
   In this course you will use the textbook, Practical Counseling Principles For Christians, by Dr. Jeff Owens.  You will also use the companion SLBC workbook, Christian Counseling, by Dr. T.E. VanBuskirk.   (3 credits)

• Please submit a Begin Sign In form for this course if you have not already done so.  Course is listed as Christian Counseling I.
  

• TESTING:  Make sure you read and submit the Testing Instructions Agreement if you have not already done so.  All section tests are closed book, which means you cannot use your textbook or any other study material nor have anyone help you while taking the section tests.  The Final Test is also a closed book test, which means you cannot use your textbook or any other study material nor have anyone help you while taking the Final Test.

• Attendance: These are the numbers that you enter on each of the required forms.
  - Required minimum Attendance for the course is 20 weeks.
  - Required minimum Attendance per Lesson is 3 weeks.
     (This requirement means that you must spend at least 3 hours, minimum 1 hour per week for 3 weeks, studying each lesson.  This is the minimum of study time required per lesson.  You will be asked in the lesson tests if you have met this requirement.)
    Some lessons will require more study time than others.  To take more than 3 hours of study time per lesson is allowed but to take less than three hours of study time per lesson is not allowed.  The necessity for more than three hours study time for some lessons is why there are extra weeks figured into the minimum attendance required for the course overall. Also, the extra weeks will give you a chance to go through the textbook and workbook at the end of this course and check to see that you have all of the correct answers in the workbook notes that you have written down or in the copy of the workbook that you downloaded and filled out during this course.

• Study Instructions:
  1. Open the text book on your computer screen.
  2. Open the workbook on your computer screen.
