What Our Students Say:

“This class was very helpful in organizing the counseling process, and reminding me that it is always Holy Spirit driven. I can learn information with my head, but if the Holy Spirit isn't present, I will miss the mark and likely do more harm than good. To God be the glory!! Thank you, Ms. Palms, for teaching us so well.”

S. Chabannes

“I like how the teaching is comprehensive, which allows me to gain a total understanding of what ever the subject is.”

M. Worthman

“Starting this class was a way for me to find out how to help myself and siblings get through the tragedies we all had in the past few years, but after the first class my eyes were open to so many opportunities to help others outside of myself and siblings. The Holy Spirit has shown me that there are so many people around me are going through a lot and knowing how to help them navigate and include God in every aspect of the journey has truly blessed my life. My prayer life has grown so much while taking this class. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!”
