Knowledge of the Bible can provide valuable guidance in times of personal struggle or uncertainty. This knowledge is even more powerful when it can be relayed to others to help them overcome hardships. Such is the premise of Biblical Counseling.
Almeda University confers a Doctor of Philosophy in Biblical Counseling to those who demonstrate not only a masterful understanding of the Bible, but an ability to use its principles as a means of counseling others. Based on the depth of wisdom contained in the Bible, it can be a source of inspiration and recovery for a wide array of problems, including marital difficulties, depression, alcohol and drug dependency, parent-child discord, anger, mistrust, dishonesty, victims of abuse, and general mental and spiritual well being.
Thus, those earning a degree in Biblical Counseling will actively use the Bible to help others overcome obstacles and find fulfillment. To achieve this, the Counselor must have a vast understanding of Biblical principles and how they apply to personal circumstances. The role of the Counselor is to act as a conduit to individual enlightenment, rather than preaching to an entire congregation. Through this process, the Counselor helps others find and carry out God's will.
