The opening of Think LifeChange Institute of Biblical Counseling is a great asset to the kingdom work of biblical counseling. Kerry Skinner’s approach of utilizing God’s Word while relying on the Holy Spirit truly simplifies the ministry of counseling. The training he provides in this area immensely equips the Lord’s servant to be an effective counselor. Since opening the counseling center at our church, with Kerry’s guidance and training, we have conducted hundreds of sessions and seen God transform numerous lives and marriages. If you or your church is called to the ministry of biblical counseling I can think of no better avenue to prepare for such a great work.
Walter and Karen De Graaf
Our experiences with Think LifeChange Biblical Counseling have been life-changing! We initially sought them out for counseling to improve our relationship with a family member. The advice was so significant that we decided to go to the training to become Biblical Counselors. Walt was a lay leader and Pastor for many years. Karen has a MA Degree in counseling (secular). We have done a lot of counseling with couples and individuals in the last 34 years!
What we have learned through the Heart of the Problem material and the training by Kerry and Alison has changed our approach to counseling others. It has been significant in our lives personally and significant in the lives of those we have been able to work with since being trained. There is no better way to live than understanding the joy of repentance and how it can change a troubled marriage into a good one, an anxiety-ridden individual into one who lives without fear and anxiety!
It isn’t magic. It is God’s Word applied appropriately, as He designed it, to give us abundant life regardless of our circumstances.
We are better individuals, have a more joyful and peaceful marriage, and now have tools to use to help others to live the same!
Highly, highly recommended!

Over the past two decades, the church has been inundated and has even embraced the tenants of secular psychology disguised in spiritual terminology.  Surprisingly, many pastors have turned to other sources to help hurting people besides the Bible, as if the sacred scriptures do not contain what is needed to meet people’s deepest needs. Dr. Kerry L. Skinner has adeptly seen these disguises and is on a quest to return counseling for Christians back to its guide for the problems we encounter – the Word of God. With the Bible as his sword, Dr. Skinner cuts through the pseudo-spiritual Christian counseling maze and reveals that the heart of our problems is a problem of the heart.  Every pastor as well as every lay person who desires to counsel fellow believers should always do so from the precious truths taught in scripture.  Dr. Skinner, through his books, seminars and now his ‘Think LifeChange Institute for Biblical Counseling’, will equip you and challenge you to return to the sufficiency of scripture for the answers to life’s difficulties.
