The Only Thing that Worked for Us was Biblical Counseling!!!

 

Greetings. Our names are Pat and Dennis. I (Pat) came to Steve in S.C. for help with our marriage. Dennis is 75 and I’m 72. We both had previous marriages prior to meeting Steve. Relationship wise, we were in a very desperate place. I had written to our church begging them to set us up with a counselor – ASAP. They directed us to Steve. I can tell you wholeheartedly that God performed a supernatural work in our relationship via the Holy Spirit using Biblical Counseling. We were only married 3 years. And both of us knew we needed help immediately. To say the least, Steve’s guidance using Scripture was truly amazing.

It’s been 2 years now since we started counseling. We are still seeing him on a regular basis because life has glitches. We are still learning that living according to what God teaches us really is the best way. We have sayings like “God, please help me, please change me”, as well as the Pyramid/Triangle of Priorities in Life” (God 1st, Marriage 2nd, Church 3rd, etc. – see below). We have several diagrams that remind us that God is in charge – so why not follow Him exactly as He says to do? Our previous way before Biblical Counseling was disastrous! We are learning every time we meet with Steve that using Scripture, prayer, and applying spiritual principles is the way to go, as well as seeking to address the root causes (and not just the fruit) of our issues. Steve always guides us towards spiritual growth and healing; whether spiritual and/or emotional. We truly believe Steve was sent by God and was used by Him to help save our marriage. If this could happen with people our age and after multiple marriages, I believe 100% that the Lord could use Steve to help you also.

There’s another saying, “I can’t, God can, why not let Him.” Don’t give up on what you saw in your spouse when you first met, or on what attracted you to each other in the first place, or ultimately who God allowed you to marry. Trust us (Pat and Dennis), Biblical Counseling is the only avenue that works and is still working. It is a gift of God and it’s like the Energizer Bunny – it keeps on going.
