Added Resource for Love Systems 
Our greatest need is for love. It is never wrong to want to be loved. God created us for love. Sadly, because we live in a broken world many people don't know or have never experienced the authentic love of Jesus - the only love that satisfies completely, and instead go searching for love in all the wrong places settling for the counterfeit. The attachments below provide a vivid picture of what transpires when we are living outside of love and what it looks like to produce love. ​

Class 4: ​The Danger of False Doctrine 

In this class we will explore the danger of false doctrine. As a biblical counselor it is of utmost importance that you understand that the Holy Scriptures are the written, inspired Word of the living God and His word is sufficient for counseling the hearts He entrusts into our care. The Bible is superior to anything the world can offer. 

It is essential that we understand the many different belief systems your clients may be adhering to because it could be causing them harm and leading them away from the truth of God's word. Scripture warns believers that in latter days some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.  Sadly, that is what we are seeing today in the church and especially in the belief systems, the younger generation is exposed to. 

God's word admonishes us to be like the Bereans and check everything against scripture to determine if it is true. The Bible, after all, is the final authority on truth. We are also exhorted to test every spirit to see if it is from God. Therefore, educate yourself and match it up with the Word of God. The videos you will see may be shocking. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and discernment to see the truth. If God confirms what He has confirmed in our hearts, we pray that you have a zeal to stand on the truth of God's Word and exhort your counselees to do the same.

Conflict & Confrontation

Book Requirement
Confrontation (Hope for the Heart) - June Hunt
Each of us begins to develop a style of handling conflict at an early age. Our personal ways of “fighting’ come from our instinct, personality, but mostly they come from early family dynamics.  Many of us don’t know how to deal or defuse conflict because we are repeating learned relationship skills from childhood, either attacking or avoiding. This class helps identify learned patters of unhealthy conflict resolutions and offers practical biblical solutions that help develop healthy Christ centered ways to deal with conflict and produce God honoring, grace-based conflict resolution. ​

Conflict Resolution: Solving Your People Problems (Hope for the Heart) - June Hunt
Class Downloads
Intro
Confrontation Why and How?
There are times in life when you may need to address a problem or a personal conflict. It’s definitely not an easy or even a popular choice for most of us. How do you confront a difficult issue? Why is it important to confront? Discover clear reasons and approaches for confrontation in this program with June Hunt.
​Confronting with Grace
When someone criticizes or hurts you, what’s your response? Do you immediately attack with angry words and actions? Do you retreat to avoid any conflict at all? June Hunt shows us how to rein in those strong emotions yet still assert ourselves with grace and strength.
The When & How of Confrontation
When a terrible wrong is committed, anger rises up immediately and drives us to action, but is this really the best time to confront someone? June Hunt considers when and how to respond to an offense or wrongdoing. The Bible teaches us there’s a time for everything … and that even applies to confrontation!
Confronting With Wisdom
Leaders and other people in authority should never abuse their position of influence but, unfortunately, sometimes they do. Inappropriate behavior must be stopped. What is the wisest way to confront someone in authority? Is it better to confront face-to-face or from a safe distance? June Hunt sorts out the best approach for serious issues.
The Goal of Confrontations
When someone offends you, it takes a while to work through your feelings, but when someone hurts your children, watch out! Your anger can hit the roof! How do you prepare yourself to address someone who’s wronged a loved one? How do you know when the time is right? June Hunt brings us biblical hope and practical help for confrontation.
Confrontation and the Sandwich Technique ​
Friends are wonderful sources of support but backbiters present a painful problem. How do you approach a person who talks negatively behind your back? Is there a delicate way to address a difficult issue? June Hunt introduces an assertive technique for confrontation that instructs and encourages at the same time.
​​The Art of Positive Confrontation
Someone’s crossed the line into bad behavior. Is God calling you to direct them back onto the right path? Would you know how to do that? June Hunt helps us master the art of assertive confrontation.
Challenging Others To Change
When an issue of wrongdoing comes between you and another person, what does God want you to do? Do you know He’s designed a clear roadmap for us in the Bible? June Hunt shares God’s design for confrontation, exposing what’s wrong and establishing what’s right, with clear steps to follow from His Word.
The Right Heart ​
Few of us choose conflict, but being passive doesn’t always provide the real path to peace. Resolution often rests in confronting the wrong, but it also involves having the right heart. God’s Word provides principles for peace that can result in reconciliation and resolution. June Hunt shares these principles along with practical insights into resolving conflict.
Resolving Conflict In A World of Difference ​
Attackers and avoiders: When faced with conflict most of us default into one of these response styles, but God wants us to confront in love. In this program, June Hunt shares a real-life scenario of a husband and wife in intense conflict and presents a biblical and practical response.
Building Blocks of Conflict Resolution
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” Walter Scott’s famous poem may have been penned in the 1800s, but its message is still relevant. On this program, June Hunt continues to mediate a modern-day marital battle, offering help in the midst of conflict and guiding us in conflict resolution that honors God and others.
Hope And Healing When Conflict Arises ​
Arguing, accusing, name calling … these are things we tell our children not to do. It can feel like you’re the family “referee” at times. June plays the referee with a husband and wife who are in an intense family conflict. She challenges this war-torn couple to move beyond bitterness and to respond maturely for the sake of their children.
Moving Away From Conflict To Hope
Conflict occurs among friends, at the workplace, even in church, but nothing cuts deeper than family conflict. This series features a conversation June Hunt had with a couple about their troubled marriage. With God’s Word as her foundation, June helped them find hope and the practical tools to move forward.

The Emotionally Destructive Marriage

Book Requirement
The Emotionally Destructive Marriage PB - Leslie Vernick
God warned the prophets of Israel to not superficially heal the wounds of His people by promising "peace, peace" when there was no authentic peace. Abuse in marriage always breaks peace, and biblical peacemaking involves much more than tears of remorse and the words "I'm sorry.
