The Institute for Christ Life Counseling (ICLC) is the training arm of Precious Stones Biblical Counseling Ministries. In a culture that is ever broadening the criteria of mental health diagnoses and pushing people to humanistic psychology and psychiatric medication as the answer, the ICLC is dedicated to reclaiming the ministry of Biblical soul care through the local church. The need of the hour is learning how to effectively lead others beyond behavior modification, new coping mechanisms, acceptance-driven performance, and religious compensation, to lasting change and spiritual traction through the transforming power of Christ.
We invite you to join us this year for our 5th annual ICLC training module. This year’s theme is an Introduction to Christ Life Counseling, and is a foundational starting point for those interested in biblical counseling. Details and registration for this training module can be found below.
