Introduction: People come to me who have been a Christian for many years, but have never heard about how to get rid of the results (guilt, anger, bitterness, fear, frustration, unsettledness, anxiety, etc.) of their sin. They asked Jesus into their heart when they were young and were immediately filled with joy and gratitude, but […]
Temptation
Introduction: The Bible talks a lot about temptation and sin. And we know that we sin all the time. But we often don’t know how we get into sin in the first place. James 1:14 and 15 says, “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire […]

You are most humble
The false identity that many of us have assigned to ourselves then structures how we see and respond to others. You are most loving, patient, kind, and gracious when you are aware that there is no truth that you could give to another that you don’t desperately need yourself. You are most humble and gentle […]

Once CBC becomes a certified training center, any training we will do or will have done will be accepted in the NANC counselor certification process. This means that anyone taking […]
