Integration of Christian Spirituality in the Counseling Profession
The integration of Christian spirituality into the clinical counseling profession consists of predominantly being the embodiment of Jesus’s character and qualities through demeanor. If it is determined that the client is a professing Christian, then more overt Biblical concepts can be shared, but only ones that align with the client should be expressed. If the client is an atheist, then demeanor and gentle guided encouragement wording are a better fit. Integrated spirituality is understanding that every client is a unique masterpiece made by God. Regardless of where the client is at in their understanding of spirituality, the counselor can be the gospel through their extended qualities such as compassion, patience, gentleness, and understanding.

How I Realigned My Energy and Eased Hormonal Discomfort with Marma Therapy

All of the lab tests came back normal. At the end of each check-up, the doctor would give me vague advice like "drink more water," "get more sleep," and "reduce stress."

Temptation Can Be Blinding
Temptation The first recorded story of temptation in the Bible is about Adam and Eve. God told them that they could eat from any tree in the garden except not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:16-17 says, “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.’ ”
