Counsel The Heart Conference

Based on The Wilds Summer Staff Counseling Training developed over the past fifty years, the Counsel the Heart Conference presents core biblical counseling material regarding the gospel, the process of biblical change, the basic categories of counseling, and specific tools for effectively getting to the heart of any problem. Designed with lay workers in mind, Counsel the Heart provides a helpful venue for local churches to further equip those who work with youth (mentors, youth leaders, school teachers, etc.) to learn how to provide biblical hope and help to young people facing issues of suffering and sin.
