Ministry Focus in One Sentence: Philosophy of Biblical Counseling

Have you ever been asked to create a value or mission statement? For those of us in ministry, we are often asked to supply a philosophy of ministry or perhaps a philosophy of counseling.

About a year ago, I had a friend ask me if I could boil my ministry focus down into one sentence. He asked if I could talk about ministry and why I do what I do and what I do with people, and I can boil it down to one sentence.

Well, very honestly, when asked me, I really thought it would be easy. I thought this would be a piece of cake to boil it down, but it really wasn't easy at all. It took me a couple of weeks to really hone this down to the sentence. I will give you today, and in this sentence, I think what it's going to do is give you a sense of who I am and why I do what I do.

In this short video, hear how I boiled my ministry focus down to one sentence.
