Level I Core Competencies
Modules 3-6

Grow deeper. Counsel wisely.
These four core modules equip you with the interpretive clarity, theological framework, and ministry skills needed to navigate complex counseling situations with wisdom and grace.
​Together, they form the heart of your practical and theological readiness as a soul-care provider.

Module 3:
Hermeneutics: The Rules of Engagement

Properly interpreted, properly applied Scripture is the primary tool in biblical soul-care.
In this module, you will learn how to rightly divide the Word in counseling context, avoiding common misuses and grounding your care in sound interpretation.
You will develop the skills and confidence to handle any passage of Scripture accurately and faithfully, bringing biblical clarity to the real struggles people face.

Module 4:
Worldviews: What They Are, Why They Matter

This module explores how competing worldviews shape the way people understand themselves, their problems, and their solutions—and how those views compare to the truth of Scripture.
You’ll develop a robust biblical worldview and learn how to recognize and gently challenge false belief systems through a winsome, relationally grounded approach to apologetics.
By understanding not just what people believe but why, you’ll be better equipped to help them see life through the lens of God's truth.

Module 5: Whole-Person Ministry
