teaching and training

Romans 15:14 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one  another. (Rom. 15:14  ESV)

We are both very passionate, not only to counsel and disciple individuals, but just as much, to train others in how to handle God's word with care and precision so they can help others as God has called them to do.

We believe strongly in the sufficiency of Scripture for all of life and godliness, and hold to the view that Biblical Counseling, and not Psychology, holds the answers for man's spiritual, moral, and mental needs. Scripture and the Spirit of God ARE the key to change and to living life in the way God intended.

We, therefore, are passionate to teach the biblical principles of how Scripture renews the mind and proper thinking about God, His Word, sin, others, etc., are critical for the believer. If your staff or some of your members are interested in basic and/or advanced training in Biblical Counseling we would love to discuss with you how we can help.

2 Timothy 2:2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others  also. (2 Tim. 2:2  ESV)

One of Kirk's long time ministries and passions has been to teach Scripture and Theological and practical ministry courses in churches, colleges and seminaries.   He has taught on the college level in his home church and many institutions and countries since 2003.   His 25+ years teaching teens and college students makes his teaching very understandable and accessible, but his passion for precision with the text keeps his teaching from being weak and watered down.

If you are looking to have some supplemental teaching for a number of weeks on a particular area of Truth, for your staff or a group of members, we would love to talk to you about this opportunity.
