Qualifications for Christian Counseling

The number one qualification for Christian counseling is that the Lord has called you to that profession. If you feel He has then you can look for courses in your area or online. Do research on the school or college or look for references or testimonials from former students. If someone is seeking counseling they will often want to be sure that the counselor is well qualified and educated.

Is Christian Counseling God Directed?

If you are directed by God to earn a Christian education degree He will fill you with a love and desire to help others. These Christian counseling degrees and certifications will add validity to your calling. In counseling sessions God will direct you to the appropriate biblical references with which you can advise people. The Bible should always be the basis of your counseling.

Earning the Degree

The Bible has many examples of great men anointed to counsel and lead others. It also demonstrates the results of those who seek counsel from the ungodly. In Leviticus Moses anoints Aaron and his sons.

Lev 8:1 - 4 The LORD said to Moses, “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread; and assemble all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting.” And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting. (RSV)

As in Leviticus, when earning a Christian counseling degree you will receive your certificate or degree from qualified men who have also been ordained. Upon graduation, you will be “anointed” so to speak) certified by your professors that they believe, and will acknowledge this before other students, faculty members and family, that you are qualified and led by God into the counseling profession.
