Ministry Counseling

Loss brings with it many layers of grief that need to be addressed. Healing from losses requires more than just talking about our pain; it involves working through the twists and turns of conflicting emotions and confronting questions that often have no satisfactory answers. It is reassembling the pieces of life that have been shattered by assumptions and expectations in order to create a new beginning. Within the process we begin to heal and recover. But as we close one chapter of life, we need tools and information to begin a new chapter.

Afterward, he recognized Christianity wasn't something to be taken lightly. His highest priority became to know God and understand his counsel.

This book explores Godly grit elements, what prevents it from growing, and what can be done to replenish a lost supply. This book is not for someone satisfied with complacency. This book is for someone who sincerely desires to be a disciple of Jesus and reach a hurting world.

If there was a fight going on, Jeremiah was at the center of it. If there was someone his gang needed to be taken out, he was ready to be a part of it.
