Depression, broken relationships, divorce, drug and alcohol abuse, pornography. Where do people go for answers to their problems? Many turn to modern psychology, which fails to give hope that troubles can be permanently resolved; it cannot solve problems of the heart. Others seek help from counselors who blend modern psychology with the Bible, unfortunately weakening the Bible’s strength.

Biblical counselors use the mind-renewing power of the all-sufficient Word of God, which contains all we need for life and godliness, to teach right living, rebuke wrongdoing, correct wrong thinking, and train in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16).

If you believe that the Bible offers hope to change lives for God’s glory—and could see yourself offering biblical counsel to hurting individuals—then this degree will provide you with a solid base of Bible and theology and a useful introduction to biblical counseling. For further study, a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling is offered in Maranatha’s Seminary.
