Spiritual Development

As Christians, we should never stop growing spiritually in this lifetime. There is always more we can learn about God and ourselves and as long as we’re on this sin-filled earth, there will always be ways in which we can grow more Christlike. Counseling for spiritual development offers you a Biblically grounded, safe place where you can communicate your spiritual struggles, faith questions, or any other matters that are affecting your relationship with God and others.

What to Expect in Christian Counseling for Spiritual Development

…We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. – Colossians 1:9-12

What do people expect in spiritual development counseling? Some want to learn more about Christianity or wrestle with issues of faith; others want like-minded people to help them through spiritual battles. Whatever your reason for coming to us, our goals for you include:

• Helping you build a more connected relationship with God.
• Offering you guidance and direction for questions about faith, spirituality, and Scripture.
• Finding ways to express your unique faith and spiritual gifts.
• Discovering a faith-based support system that works for you.
• Exploring a deeper understanding of God and who you are to Him.
• Developing Biblical habits to add to your daily routine as you seek to mature in Christ.

We want your time with us to meet your needs. While we have various tools and resources available, your counseling session will be catered to your own spiritual walk and the kind of growth and development you would like to see.

Many of the counselors at Seattle Christian Counseling have wrestled through similar questions at different points in their lives before reaching their current position in Christ. Because your counselor has probably gone before you in his or her spiritual journey, the practical insights provided from experience will be of great value in your own growth.

• Experience in helping people of all ages and backgrounds overcome a variety of issues.
• A compassionate, judgment-free space for you to heal and grow.
• Support for people of faith who are feeling confused, afflicted, or forsaken.

When going through spiritual battles, you might feel lost, confused, and even unsure about your salvation. We are here to hold the hope and patience of Christ for you while helping you discover your spiritual strength, faith, and wholeness.

What is Spiritual Wellness?

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you maybe in good health, as it goes well with your soul. – 3 John 2:2

To be spiritually well is to be connected with God. The life of a Christian is ever developing. Sometimes changes happen little by little; other times significant changes can come all at once. Whatever state you are in, know that the Lord is patient with us while we strive against temptations. Building that strength, finding healing, and developing a stronger relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and our Father in heaven are all components of spiritual wellness. If you’re overwhelmed by the sheer number of resources available and you simply don’t know where to turn, we are here to point the way.

How Does Spiritual Health Affect My Mind and Body?

As Christians, we battle against our worldly concerns and strive to be like Christ as His spirit grows in us and our own nature decreases. We have all given into temptation. Between that and other afflictions of the spirit, we can experience all kinds of physical and mental conditions like addiction, depression, anxiety, and doubting your faith. Spiritual development counseling can help you discover which obstacles you might be facing spiritually while offering Bible-based solutions for overcoming your struggles.
