Life Direction Using Spiritual Tools

God has all the answers for life! When talking with people they are sometimes surprised that the insights and answers they receive in a counseling session come from the Bible. When I hear, "Wasn\'t that book written for ancient times?" I am reminded of two things. First, the character of man hasn\'t changed over the milliniums.  And second, the character of God hasn\'t changed either!  Of course, we modern people often believe we are different...smarter and more aware. After all, we have the internet and we know how to fly!. You would think since we have all that intelligence that we would have less problems, but that is not the case. I believe that as long as we are walking around in these earth suits/bodies, we will have the same old problems of pride and greed that was present in ancient man.

Think of the Bible as a manufacturer\'s manual. God created us and He wrote a manual about what we need to keep operating properly. It is also an amazing manual about God, sort of an autobiography. God\'s story, written by Him so we could understand Him. Of course, He seems to leave some of the juicy parts out..like where did He  come from anyway? But everything you want to know about His character, His likes and dislikes and generally how to enjoy life with Him and others is all there. I challenge you to see for yourself. This incredible book of wisdom and hope inspires a life of love and peace with God and others.

At FreshStart the Bible is the primary source of direction used in counseling. We do not preach, we simply give insight from God\'s Word that has worked for milleniums to help people live life to the full.

Masculine Journey Boot Camp

Can we truly identify our own journey in becoming an authentic man?  Maybe seeing another man’s journey will spur us into seeking a deeper understanding of our own journey.  During this journey, we will find healing, restoration, and God’s purpose for our life.  To help us identify our own masculine journey, we will watch Balin’s journey in the movie “Kingdom of Heaven” by Ridley Scott, expand on the information taught in our “Wild at Heart and Fathered By God” groups, review thoughts from John Eldredge in Captivating, thoughts from “The Quest for Authentic Manhood” by Robert Lewis, and take a look at the stories of several men in the Bible.
