My ACBC certification training taught me what dependence on God looks like in real time. I appreciated so much the clear, direct, and meaningful feedback from my CRF’s. Rick’s encouragement and his ability to speak hard truths in love have served to cultivate my character as I reflect our mighty Counselor to those I counsel. You will receive so much more with LOC and I am eternally grateful that the Lord lead me here. Now that I’m certified and praying about next steps, I’m staying with LOC for continued guidance and ongoing training.

The training I received from Rick and the LOC staff was beyond my expectations. Rick spent numerous hours reviewing my case studies, mentoring me personally, and sharing his discipleship expertise with all the leaders, so we grow together. The skills I’ve learned and continue to hone are because of the vast content and support LOC provides. I am so grateful to God for this ministry.

I knew God was leading me to pursue counseling training so that I could disciple others more faithfully, but I didn’t realize how much it would transform my own life. Each feedback report played a huge role in refining how I understand the heart of a counselee and helped me see more clearly where to go next. Even now that my supervision has ended, I still find myself thinking through situations using the perspective and framework I was taught during training.
I’m so thankful to God for leading me through this process and for using your guidance, feedback, and encouragement to shape not only how I counsel others, but how I think and grow personally. Your investment in me has had a lasting impact, and I’m very grateful.
