What Makes Us Distinct?

Two words– biblical and counselor– are interesting when used together. If any speech, book, or counseling is to be considered biblical, God’s Word needs to be the text. The word counsel means “to consult, confide in, consider.” To be known as a biblical counselor, you must consult, confide in, and consider the person of Christ (Truth) in the Bible. Therefore, if one consults something other than the Bible for counseling, that person is not a Biblical Counselor.

Our Focal Points:

  1. We help people use the Scriptures to see the condition of their heart. Jesus said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man” (Mark 7:20).
  2. The Bible reveals that if sin is the problem, there is no human remedy.
  3. We teach that while sin is negative, repentance is the most positive word in the Bible and is the process used for eliminating the sin problem.
  4. Counselors guide the counselee into receiving a cure instead of simply getting relief. 
  5. Think LifeChange Institute teaches the biblical counselor to compare the counselee’s situation with a fixed standard, the Bible. 
  6. Think LifeChange Institute trains the biblical counselor to guide the counselee to understand how to use the Scriptures to compare the areas in which their experience agrees or differs with the standard of life that God sets forth in Scripture. Bringing the counselee to this point is the distinctive of biblical counseling.
  7. Think LifeChange Institute provides the biblical counselor with a way to help the counselee determine if they are living by the Spirit or by the desires of the sinful nature.

About Us

As Dr. Skinner traveled and led conferences for many years, individuals would inquire where they might receive training and certification for the message that he was sharing. At the time he knew of no place to send them. 

Many believers, from members of a church to trained pastors and counselors, seek a way in which to counsel using the Scripture without the agent of the state limiting what they could share in the consulting room. In most states, a licensure limits one to the regulatory laws that govern counseling with the practice of psychology.
