Pastoral & Biblical Counsel
Pastor Will Martin
Pastor Will Martin
The truth is that people often need counsel but don't know where to turn. Many counselors with all the "right" letters behind their names have all the wrong answers for us — offering to treat symptoms instead of declaring Truth which can address the root issue. Many "Christian" counselors offer the same Christ-less bromides that the world has to offer. Meanwhile, Christ, through His Word, Spirit, and Church, has given us everything we need to fruitfully and peacefully navigate through life's…let us call them adventures.
I am a local pastor, and Christ is my counseling credentials. He set me apart as a servant of His people some twenty years ago. I have been pastoring this same church for over fifteen years, during which time I have seen Christ, through His Holy Spirit and Word, bring help, counsel, and freedom to people. My areas of focus have been marriage and family, vocational, financial, and spiritual. If you need someone to speak God's word into your life, I would love to help. Here is what you can expect from me:
To help people at the soul level requires utter dependence upon the Lord. Jesus said "apart from Me you can do nothing…" I really believe Him. Any counsel I give will be prayerfully aimed at bringing you to Christ for help.
"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path…" I am convinced that the Bible, as the very Word of God, is able to shine light into any situation and bring hope to it.
The cost of counseling can be staggering, and so many people simply can't afford it. I am a full-time pastor and headmaster; counseling is not what puts bread on my table. I will accept free-will donations, but I do not charge anyone for counsel.
While it can be done, it's hard to shock a pastor who has been at it for a hot minute. You aren't strange, and you aren't alone.
