Programs for Pastors

One of our particular focuses at Word of Life Institute is the support of pastors. In fact, Dr. Reiner's specific call to the ministry began with a dream from God in which he was called to help pastors. At that time, he did not know that it would be primarily through counseling and the counseling training ministry of Word of Life Institute that this would be accomplished. Dr. Reiner is personally available by phone at 316-729-7997 or by Email at PastorTroy@wolm.org to answer your questions or provide additional assistance either to you or your church.

Every Church Needs Support Groups, Counselors, and Life Coaches.

      Every flock of sheep needs a shepherd or they will scatter.  As the flock grows it will eventually need a veterinarian (the counselor) to tend the sick sheep, a sheep dog (the Bible-based life coach) to help them find and achieve their calling, and under-shepherds (small group/support group leaders), because one shepherd realistically can only spend personal time with a limited number of sheep.  

  

      Another reason to incorporate these roles into the church body is that counseling, life coaching, and support groups provide an excellent means for growing your church.  In the Outreach Magazine Pastor Rick Warren stated that Celebrate Recovery groups draw 70% of their members from outside of the church and that 85% of them remain in the church.

 

         Support groups automatically result in some of the members wanting more individualized counseling.  Counseling provides an excellent means of leading people to Christ because when they come for help they will find that Christ is the answer that most of them have really been looking for. The need for the counseling ministry continues to grow as our society comes into the church and the post-Christian culture continues to deteriorate around us.

 

         In addition, many people in our society and churches also need direction in their lives. This is the mission of the Life Coach--to help people find their calling and to disciple them in their Christian lives and calling until they achieve it.

 In our bookstore, we no longer provide links to a particular book dealer but give lists of what we think are the best books on a  particular subject allowing you to purchase these books where you feel appropriate

         Some confusion has been brought to our attention that there are some other websites offering our videos as counseling training.  We appreciate their desire to propagate our materials but we cannot offer course credit or validate any certifications they might offer. 

         We have loaded our newest course "Addiction Recovery According to the Bible" just recorded in Slovakia in English with Slovak interpretation.  It has now been translated into Swahili and  Arabic.  These videos are entitled "Additions for Slovakia,"  "Addictions in Swahili" and "Addictions in Arabic." The Lord led us to present this seminar for the Roma (Gypsies) in Slovakia but we believe it is the purest all-Bible method of addition recovery yet and it is set up so that it can be easily re-interpreted into other languages.  We believe the Lord really gave us some breakthroughs here at this seminar.  Watch it and let us know what you think.  To watch the presentation done in Slovakia click here. 

      Logos University has raised their application fee to $100, Undergraduate tuition to $100 and Graduate Tuition to $125 per credit hour.  Of course, students currently under contract paying Logos directly will not be affected by this increase.  Logos does offer a 10% scholarships for students from developing countries. 

       We have now added programs for helping churches start support groups, lay counseling, counseling centers, and counseling training centers.  Also note the new options page that provides a chart showing all of our training options. 

       To more easily access important information use the direct links on the top right of this page.  

      

From Our Students

"This class for me was transformational! Very practical illustrations of biblical principles. Fantastic!"

 

"During the presentation it all came so clear I got revelation. It was awesome."

 

"I'm not just saying outstanding to be nice!! Dr. Reiner brings new light to biblical stories. I loved all his models. Truly outstanding class."

 

"I can't even begin to explain the importance and value these classes have played in my life." 

From a Curriculum User

At Life Christian University, we firmly believe that Jesus is the answer to every problem of life. Because of this, we have chosen Dr. Troy Reiner’s “Faith Therapy” program as the basis of our counseling program. His books are wonderful! They carefully lay a biblical foundation for complete recovery for every believer. Taking the truth that salvation works, he trains Christian counselors to help individuals remove the blockages in their minds and hearts that prevent them from experiencing the fullness of what Jesus purchased for them on the cross. Feedback from both our students and our faculty has been overwhelmingly positive. I heartily recommend these books!
