"Research shows that many people approach a spiritual leader first to discuss mental health/relational concerns, before ever seeking out a licensed counselor. This degree seeks to equip Pastoral Care majors with the tools they need to be effective in speaking and teaching biblical truth while also having training in assisting with mental health challenges. "
Lisa Ruhl, Professor of Christian Psychology
