Level I Foundations
Modules 1 & 2

---

The Foundations Series is where you begin to think and practice soul-care biblically.
These two modules lay the theological groundwork and relational mindset
essential for all faithful counseling.
Whether you’re a pastor, lay leader, or a faithful believer wanting to help others more wisely,
The Foundations Series sets the stage for everything that follows.

​If you decide to continue, these completed modules will apply 100% to any credential program we offer.

Foundations, Part 1:
​Introduction to Biblical Counseling

An overview of the biblical theology and fundamentals of counseling and soul-care.
You'll learn how Scripture defines counseling, what makes biblical counseling distinct, and why the church—not the world—is called to care for souls.
You will learn essential aspects of data gathering and what to do with it.
You will develop a foundational understanding of how to listen well, ask wise questions, and begin to discern what’s truly going on beneath the surface, all while keeping the gospel central to your care.

Foundations, Part 2:
​Dynamics of Biblical Change

This module explores how biblical counseling fits within the broader call to make disciples. You’ll learn how soul-care flows from the “one-anothers” of the New Testament and is meant to take place in the context of the local church under faithful pastoral oversight.
We will also examine what true biblical transformation looks like: how people change, what fuels lasting growth, and how to walk with others through that process with patience, clarity, and hope.
