LifeWay Counseling Program

For the past 15 years we have operated the LifeWay Counseling Centers. For 7 of those years we also had an in-patient unit that was unique in the world in several respects. It was Christ-centered and biblically based as well as having a strong emphasis on involving the entire community of residents in their own healing and growth. I designed the program to mimic that which I had done at College Hill Church when we intentionally designed events to develop a healing community.

The primary source of healing and change is not the therapist but the client and his/her support system-including the Lord. At the LifeWay Unit we carefully involved all the residents in the ministry. We taught them how to commit acts of care, prayer, share and mutually bear each others' burdens. With the power, love and truth of God flowing so mightily we saw awesome results in the lives of the residents.

You can learn how to carry out many of the healing community practices by reading Hope and Change for Humpty Dumpty and by listening to our radio program 9:30 AM on WAKW 93.3 FM in Cincinnati.

People need the Lord and they need the healing of the Lord's people.
