iHope's Counseling Collective
Part of our mission at iHope is to equip and support pastors and other ministry leaders in the work of shepherding the Church. We know that most seminaries do not focus heavily on counseling-related tasks of the ministry. Yet this is an important role!
Each month, our e-newsletter includes iHope’s Counseling Collective: Resources for Pastors and Ministry Leaders. We’ll provide a few easy-guide handouts, short video clips, scriptures and prayer prompts that build your skills and knowledge base in an important topic area.
If you miss iHope’s Counseling Collective one month, past resources will be collected here so that you can access them at any time. And if you’re interested in an iHope counselor speaking at your church or with your staff about a topic below, just email counseling@ihopeflorence.com.
If you find iHope’s Counseling Collective digital resources helpful, please consider giving a tax-deductible financial donation to support the iHope counseling ministry. You can donate here.
