BIBLICAL COUNSELING
A key aspect of our ministry at Salem4Youth is Biblical counseling. During their time here, both the young men and their families participate in regular, Biblically-based counseling sessions. This approach relies on the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word, through the work of the Holy Spirit, to address and resolve life’s challenges. Our goal is to reorient disordered desires, affections, thoughts, behaviors, and worship towards a God-designed anthropology, restoring individuals to a right fellowship with God and others. We achieve this by speaking the truth in love, applying Scripture to the need of the moment, comforting the suffering, and calling sinners to repentance. Through this process, we work to help our young men mature as they abide in Jesus Christ.
