You will have opportunity to hear from the faculty and staff at CCU, as well as other experts in the counseling world, as we offer some of our stories and wisdom from our work within the mental health counseling field, as well as share about our own journeys with God along the way – our fumbles and foibles, as well as our service and successes, and the gracious fathering of God as we stumble after Him.We are a community of professionals, seeking to offer competent, ethical, and informed counseling to our communities. We are also a community of believers, of followers after the God who has inaugurated His Kingdom through the coming, the death, the resurrection, and the promised return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Empowered by His Spirit, we seek together to walk with Him in our profession and our respective roles in offering Spirit-led, Christ-anchored, and character-driven help to those we serve.This is the heart behind our efforts here in this Podcast, to invite you, dear listener, to sit at the table with us as we explore our work in the light of Christ’s work on our behalf.
