Abstract

Spiritual Discernment and Vocational Counseling
Personal Position After taking the survey at the end of the article I found that I have quit a few very important responses when it comes to my decision making in relationship to education, ministry opportunities, career choices, or other major decisions. Personally I found that I answered that it is very important to me when using common sense in making major decisions in my life. Another area that I feel it is very important is to consider the circumstances. I feel it is very important to always look for open doors and windows of opportunity in order to advance in ones career

    4 Mat Review McMinn

    Mark McMinn, the author of the book Psychology, Theology and Spirituality, did an excellent job discussing the aspects of psychology, theology and spirituality, and how they can be integrated by a Counselor. Each chapter opened with a real life example of what it would be like to not properly integrate psychology, theology and spirituality. Christian counselors are charged to incorporate spirituality in their personal lives and properly display these same practices with their clients. Christian counselors are individuals who seek and successfully become trained in counseling theories and techniques as well as theology practices such as using prayer and scripture. “This type of training can rarely be accomplished in the classroom. But it calls us to lives of spiritual discipline and a personal love for scripture” (McMinn, 2011, p. 139). According to McMinn, the goals of Christian counseling are multi-faceted (McMinn, 2011). Most counseling maps are focused on mental health. McMinn (2011) presented a healing map. This map displayed the link between self-sufficiency, brokenness and the healing relationship and how they relate to the core foundations; prayer, scripture, sin, confessions, forgiveness and redemption.…

    Authentic Spiritual Mentoring Summary

    Throughout life we all make perceptions and have outlooks on how things should be. The issue is that we make these without understanding and completely seeing the overall details about the subject. After reading the book “Authentic Spiritual Mentoring,” by Larry Kreider I have come to the conclusion that the subject of mentoring has the tendency to fall into that category. Discipleship programs are present in the church, but unfortunately I do not think that many churches look at spiritual mentoring quite in the same way as proposed in the book. I feel that the church now more than ever has a crucial need for spiritually mature men and women to mentor younger believers. In order for these younger…

    Thought and Completely Different Perspective

    Often times when individuals have to go through an experience that impacts individuals significantly or very little, they may not realize what the most efficient choice would be. They may look for an easy way out of the situation or they may have a completely different perspective towards the problem after the experience. As in result, any choice that individuals make can impact them and make them realize if their choice was appropriate and will hopefully learn from their mistakes or little imperfections.…

    Biblical and Secular Models of Counseling

    Deciding how to model your counseling practice is one of the fundamental issues needing to be addressed when a counselor is choosing to begin a successful career as a licensed counselor. There are many different theories, strategies and methods to choose from when developing the foundation of your models, but all must adhere to the ethical standard of behavior set forth by the American Counseling Association. The best way to establish a model of counseling is to compare and contrast several different counseling practices and carefully evaluate their individual methods, goals, premises, strategies and theories.…

    Spiritual Assessment

    In my research of spiritual assessment tools, I came across what appears to be a common one, known as FICA. FICA stands for "Faith and Belief, Importance, Community, and Address in Care." I don't really feel the need to create a new spiritual assessment tool, because FICA hits all the points directly, and accurately. When assessing a patient, the questions that should be asked are whether or not the person considers themselves to be spiritual or religious. Sometimes patients do not believe that they are spiritual, but are able to answer questions about what gives their life purpose, or other philosophical questions. It's important to find a way ask these questions so that the patients can have the chance to give a heartfelt response and let you in to their thought process, if they so desire.…

    Spiritual Needs Assessment

    By preforming an interview, one can gain valuable knowledge about that person’s life which is shaping their worldview. When providing care for a patient, it is extremely important for the caregiver to assess the patient. This allows the patient’s needs both spiritually and physically to be met in a respectful yet effective way. By doing this, a healing environment will be created. In order to understand the importance of these assessments, an interview with a female that is 19 years of age was performed. She is of Asian descent but was adopted when young. Both her and her family are of Christian faith. In this paper, an analysis of the interview will be made.…

    The most important decision in my life

    There will be a lot of important decisions in our life and we need to consider them deliberately before making a choice. Some decisions can change our entire life. I will never forget how hard it was to make the decision to marry my husband, and that rash decision was such a challenge for me. At that time, I was just a spoiled child, still reliant on my parents. Yet, my rebellious nature told me to exert my independence. Now, when I look back I am so thankful I made the decision I did. I made a rash decision but it turned out to be the best decision because it brought me my husband’s love, the love of my new family, and the precious chance to attend college.…
