Biblical Counseling and Psychology Masterclass (Level 1)

Discover an exciting field in Psychology (Positive Psychology) that deals with Building human Potentials, rather than the traditional preoccupation of trying to fix or repairing of pathological challenges of human experience. The field of Positive Psychology in our understanding of Biblical Counseling will inspire you towards your God given Potentials, Skills and Purpose in Life, rather than dwelling in the mistakes of your past. Jesus came that we might have Life and, in its fullness, so that God's purpose in our Lives might be fully expressed. Be prepared for a mind provocation and personal empowerment.

Looking at the historical context of Modern Psychology and some of the founding Fathers like Wilhelm Wundt who argued that the Human mind can be studied to understand human experiences and how they occurred. Wundt's theory will later develop into what is now known as structuralism in the field of Psychology and has shaped some of the framework of psychological thoughts in helping to understand human mind and behaviors.

You might be surprised to discover the correlation between Wundt theory and the biblical perspective from the legendary Apostle Paul who assert that for one to understand the Will and purpose of God in their lives, a transformational process is required and by God's truth which in the words of Paul are needed to Change the way your THINK.

According to Paul, it's ONLY then, that one is able to understand the Will of God for their lives. Thus, the necessity of Mind transformation into a Kingdom THINKING becomes crucially important to help any Christian understand the Will of God for your Life. Welcome to this all inspiring and exciting Masterclass on Biblical Counseling and Psychology.

The Bible and Human experiences in the field of Psychology and counseling is one of the foundational focuses of this Masterclass and will provide you with new lenses with which to study Biblical counseling and Psychology. Building from the field of Wilhelm Wundt structuralism, we discover a connection between Wundt theory and the teachings of Jesus to Mr. Nicodemus regarding being Born-Again. And learning from Wilhelm theory, we discover that being born again as much of a Spiritual experience as it is a physical encounter that can very much be understudied scientifically to learn the way in which they occurred.  Prepare to be challenged.

William James is known as the Farther of American Psychology and his incredible work and contribution to the field and study of Psychology. But many are unaware of the James biblical knowledge, his beliefs in God and his amazing understanding when it comes to Spirituality. In fact, William James to me is One of the most fascinating founding Fathers of Biblical understanding in the field of Psychology and Counseling if we are to consider his incredible perspective of God and Spirituality.

According to William James, anything we do in the field and study of Psychology that is short of God is really Not rational and if you were to take God out of the picture, then it's just Not possible. This mindset and thinking is the very one that gave birth to the field of Psychology in the United States of America. As we revisit some of the wisdom of the Founding Father, in this case William James, our understanding of Biblical Counseling and Psychology is sure to be profoundly enriched with the very Principles that guided their passion and love for human development and transformation.
