National Soul Care Month
Hey, did you know that October is National Soul Care Month? If you didn't, don't feel bad because no one else did either - I made it up. Over the last few years, I've noticed that every month in our calendar is dedicated to a specific cause, aiming to raise awareness and funds. My thought has been, "Why not have a month dedicated to soul care, i.e., Biblical counseling?"
Exciting news - we've applied to the Amazon Associates program! If you purchase anything on Amazon through the links on our site, we will earn a small commission from the sale. All proceeds will go toward supporting our mission of helping those in need. We truly appreciate your support!
So, I've done it. On behalf of Christ-Centered Solutions and other Biblical counseling centers throughout America, I am declaring October to be National Soul Care Month.
Okay, so, now what?
I'm asking pastors, church leaders, small groups, and concerned Christians everywhere to set aside one Sunday in October to take a special offering to aid the ministry of Christ-Centered Solutions, or other Biblical counseling ministries. The fact is, all our centers need help from the local church to function. Yes, we have some churches that serve as monthly "Supporting Churches," but most aren't in a position to do so just yet. We also have some "Partnering Churches" who aren't regular givers, but they help us in other ways through prayer, spreading the word about CCS, and various other ways.
Our counseling numbers are growing, and being a nonprofit (donation-based) ministry means we don't receive government funds or insurance, and we wouldn't take them even if we could. Why? Because what we do is considered religious in nature (Christ-centered/biblically based), and we don't want these agencies directing us as to what we can and cannot say to the Christians we serve. The vast majority of people we see each week are already struggling and often have little to donate; those who can do so, and those who can't, are still provided with quality spiritual care.
If you'd like to know more about the ministry of Christ-Centered Solutions, or to have one of our Biblical counselors come and share with your church or group, please email me at rwest@christcenteredsolutions.org.
And please, set aside a Sunday in October to receive a special offering for Christ-Centered Solutions, or a Biblical counseling ministry near you. Remember, October is National Soul Care Month, and you heard it first from me.
Blessings to you!

Here's a great book on Amazon that I suggest to a lot of folks when asking the question of identity and purpose in life, WHO AM I? IDENTITY IN CHRIST, by Jerry Bridges. This book has been a help to many. It has eight easy-to-read chapters, and Bridges brings clarity to who we are and what we are called to do as followers of Christ.
