Showing results for "Why" in Counseling

What unanswered questions do you have about your life? Some of us struggle to find meaning, others wonder about identity, and all of us want to be loved. Your story―the events and relationships that define you―will guide how you answer those questions. But God has a story too. His story is about sending Jesus to this broken world to mend all that is broken. Author Robert Cheong, a pastor and counselor, helps listeners connect their story to God’s story which will transform how they live and love.

Afterward, he recognized Christianity wasn't something to be taken lightly. His highest priority became to know God and understand his counsel.
