This video workshop is provided by Redeemer Counseling Services
By the time couples come to counseling in a church or ministry, they are often at a crisis point. They have tried to find the solutions to their problems on their own, but it’s not helping. When counselors and ministry leaders counsel such distressed couples, it can feel like entering a battlefield. They often find it hard to know how to help, much less bring in the gospel. This workshop will equip caregivers to help couples understand their conflicts, strengthen their connection and experience the love and grace of God in their marriages.
