Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
During my time in ministry (Christian Education director on a church staff) many people would come to me with Sunday School related problems, but then would start sharing their personal problems. I would help them as best I could, but in some cases would refer them to a professional therapist. Some of those people came back to me and said, "You helped us much like the professional did. Have you ever thought about being a therapist?" My prompt answer was "No" until after I had heard it a few times, I asked the Lord, "Are You trying to tell me something?" He was, and I made the career change.
