“Before counseling I did not know how to deal with interpersonal relationships in a God-honoring way. I really thought it just meant basically being a doormat. It led to a lot of resentment inside of me and frustration. GracePoint and my wonderful counselor have given me life tools to interact and operate in a healthy and productive way by using Scripture and other Christian resources.”

"Each time we met for counseling, I could feel my hope, strength, and trust growing. I loved the books that were given to me to help me through the week. The time spent doing the study became such a sweet and precious time for me. My heart is different, my focus is different, and I believe that God led me to a peaceful pasture in one of the hardest times of my life. I have “soul” peace now. I feel like I have a GracePoint family and they are and will always be so special to me. I will never be able to say thank you enough.”

“I loved that the class opened my eyes and heart to a different view of parenting. I was expecting a set of "how-tos" but it was really speaking to a gospel view of raising kids and dealing with heart issues, more so than controlling or managing our child's behavior. It took some of the pressure off to be a perfect parent and have a perfect child.”

Parenting Class Graduate

"I loved that we had the memory verses each week and that they were the basis for the lessons - and they were all wonderful, thought-provoking, and instructional verses!

My faith is stronger now but I still have work to do.”

He forgives me. He still has a plan and purpose for me. I am more confident in my faith and my anxiety and depression are so much better now.

I am reminded that my wife is in heaven with the Lord, that heaven is a wonderful place beyond description, and that in Christ’s return, we will be reunited with loved ones that have gone on before us. I understand that there is no timeline to my grief, but it is important not to get stuck in grief, or to take on grief as an identity, and I may be able to use what I have learned to help others who are also struggling." 

GriefShare Graduate

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Biblical counseling. The atmosphere was friendly and non-judgmental. I was taught how and why I needed a closer relationship with God.

“It's impossible to pick a "liked most." Our counselor was knowledgeable, personable, patient, helpful, and was a great fit for us in this process.

“We worked on a 30-day devotional called My Painful Past. This helped me to really evolve towards God instead of myself. As to where I channeled my emotions in the wrong areas and allowed myself to really over stress. This helped me to understand my past and reflect, and move forward.”

“My husband passed away unexpectedly 10 months ago. GriefShare has given me a different perspective by helping me to understand grief and loss from a biblical standpoint. It has helped me heal in ways I would not have without this class.”

“I found the information VERY helpful in understanding the individuality of the grief process and helpful ways to navigate through the emotions and physical effects. Additionally, I learned how many common responses given by “non-grievers” attempting to comfort during a loss, are not appropriate or helpful. I learned many truths that apply not just to grief but to everyday living.”

“I really didn’t know what to expect when I joined the class. I now feel closer to others who have lost loved ones and more compassion for those who are hurting just like I am. Now, when I struggle with feeling sorry for myself, I think of the losses of other members of the class. Thank you GriefShare for helping me to mend one day at a time. I would gladly recommend this program to anyone who is open to it but only when they are ready to seek help on their own. I might even go through GriefShare again.”

"GriefShare is a remarkable experience for anyone who may be struggling with grief, particularly the loss of a loved one. The videos with the GriefShare experts, the hosts, and the exercises in the workbook all provide important information and steps in the healing process. They deal with many concerns often associated with grief, and seek to deal with them from a Godly perspective, referencing Scriptures that provide encouragement and upholding the Lord as the One who heals us of our pain. Thank you for allowing me to participate in GriefShare.”

“Gracepoint seems to have a real concern for our communities and what they can do to help each and every one of us. They were always asking us what they can do to help us with our needs both spiritually and educationally. We always appreciate ending our lessons in prayer.”

"We would highly recommend the counseling! They help you to be reminded of what the Bible says when you are going through a trial. They help direct your thoughts in the direction to see the answers that you need."

"I came into counseling with anxiety that at times was very unmanageable. The work in the Scriptures really changed my focus and made it easier to minimize any issues with worry and anxiety. They also provided me with a set of tools that are a great support for situations that may come up in the future."

"Coming in with the issues I was facing was daunting and overwhelming to go through alone. It was great to have a sounding board, a listening ear, word of encouragement, and accountability for my thoughts. I appreciate the time and resources that were given to me to help me get through some of the trials I was facing and to help me to move forward."

"GriefShare has pointed me to the Word of God and taught me what the Lord has to say about this journey. It's taught me that God can be trusted, especially when things seem so out of control. He has provided all I need through His Word and the ministry of GriefShare."

"What a difference your counseling made in not only my marriage but myself as an individual. Just as recent as this week, I have been reviewing in my mind things discussed and what biblically should be done about my way of thinking and acting so as to be a better wife & mother and have the right perspective & heart about things!

"I'm so glad I went to GracePoint when I did. God had been nudging me for some time, but I was afraid of opening up about the difficulties I was facing. I knew what God had said in His word, but I couldn't figure out how to get past the feelings of bitterness and defeat and obey God's commands for me. Counseling directed me straight to the Bible and helped me understand in practical ways, how to obey God even if my life, to me, was a mess. I have never felt as close to Him as I do now. My circumstances haven't changed a lot since I've been through counseling, but my heart, my view of myself, and my view of my savior have. After graduating from counseling, I know that even if we are in the "waiting" period, God is still working in us, we just need to be still and trust Him."

"I learned that we don't get over grief, we work through it. This study has gotten me into reading the Bible and studying. It is amazing how you make new friendships with people who are going through grief of their own. I would recommend this program to anyone who is grieving. So thankful!"

"This was a great way to get life into perspective from God's point of view. The counseling process not only got me on the right track with my specific problem but also repaired my spiritual life in general! I now have a new outlook and a greater hope for the future in Christ. I would highly recommend this step-by-step process to anyone needing help with life's issues!"
