The simplest definition of the science of psychology is that psychology is the study of human thought, feeling, and behavior.  We believe that Scripture clearly, directly, and comprehensively speaks to the dynamics of human thought, feeling, and behavior.  Within the confines of Scripture lies the methodology an understanding of all of life’s relational issues.  Academic excellence and professional techniques must be subservient to the revelation of Scripture for true PASTORAL COUNSELING to take place.  The following list of human struggles will be addressed and analyzed from a biblical perspective;  anxiety, depression, anger, shame, communication, sexuality, conflict resolution, guilt, grief, insecurity, love addictions, stress, money, jealousy, control, and freedom.  All of the above dynamics can be counseled within the parameters of God’s horizontal commandments.  This Philosophy of Pastoral Psychology will include:  skills, methodologies, techniques, and knowledge of the academic schools of personality development
