“God never intended us to be independent but rather, interdependent. Needing the help of a trained, gifted, anointed counselor should not be embarrassing to anyone. Myself and my family have all benefited tremendously from simply sitting and talking with a trained professional about the issues of our lives, and so can you.”

“ When you work with people as much I do, it can be hard to, first, not take things personally and second, not absorb those same emotions. My ministry philosophy is a thick skin and a soft heart, but that isn’t always easy. I decided to seek professional counseling to make sure that continued to happen. I wanted to make sure that my spiritual, mental, physical, etc health was strong so that I could be about the Father’s business here. I am so thankful I made and continue to make that choice. It helps me sort through mindsets and ideologies that I do not want to take root in me. It’s worth it, fam. Keep yourself mentally healthy!”

“In 2016, I was refusing to deal with a lot of heavy moments that had happened over the course of the last 3 years. Eventually I reached a point where I was so spiritually and mentally drained I began throwing up every morning for 4 months and went 30 days straight of having anxiety attacks so bad it would block out my vision. I refused to deal with the problem because I thought therapy was only for the weak, but it turned out to be just what I needed when I needed it most. Within 6 sessions, my mind and heart were beginning to mend, and by the 12th session, I was back to being the person I wanted to be. 3 months is all it took and instead of healing my problem, I let it get worse for more than 3 years. To this day I’m a huge proponent of therapy.”

“Jason and I received marriage counseling many years ago by Jerry Kymla. At first it was intimidating, and we are always wary of the unknown. Counseling was the best thing that we ever did for our marriage and ourselves. I would suggest counseling before you “need” it. Having someone to talk through situations with is very helpful. I’ve heard it said that some think that seeking a counselor is a sign of weakness; that is not true. That is simply a lie from the enemy to keep you for being mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy. Seeking wisdom from a Godly source only betters you as a person. I highly suggest counseling in any avenue that you need guidance in.”
