Word of Life Counseling Training Institute Courses

On this website you can watch all of the courses previously provided at Word of Life Counseling Training Institute in our residence program on the links at the right for free.

However, if you want course credit you must read the text books, write the required papers,  take the course test and pay a fee for our services in grading your papers and tests, and providing supervision for the practicum.  For more on taking courses for credit select that page for more information.

 

The Essential Courses cover the basic material you need to know to begin to do  counseling in the church and are required before beginning an individual practicum.  The Additional Certification Courses are required in addition to the basic courses for a counseling certification and all of these are mandatory courses for a degree.  The Group Therapy and Addictions Courses are grouped together since addictions and codependency are best ministered to in a group setting.  The Relations Courses are those focused on relationships including counseling center management and are elective courses when obtaining a degree.  The advanced courses deal with in-depth spiritual issues and the complex problems of mental disorders and are also electives.  Courses Not Available Online are the syllabuses for Theophostic Prayer Ministry which is only available online at that  organizations website and the Individual and Group Practicum.

  

Each course may be selected on the right side of this page and it consists of 10 classes of approximately 45 minutes each of video training. Although these courses may be watched by anyone free of charge on this websites, they also may be  taken for credit by fulfilling the course requirements listed on the syllabus or as part of one of our low-cost certifications or degree programs.  A certification should be obtained to verify you are a trained counselor when providing free counseling in a church and a degree is needed in most cases in order to obtain counseling liability insurance so that you are protected from malpractice litigation when charging fees for your counseling services. To learn more about these programs select the Certifications or Degree links above.

Group Therapy and Addiction Courses

Group Counseling/Facilitating Support Groups--Small groups are one of the most effective ways to attract people from the community into a church that would otherwise not be reached for Christ, help the largest number of people in the church with a minimum expenditure of resources, and provide a forum for one-on-one evangelism. Many persons coming to small groups in churches even expect a spiritual approach because they are familiar with the format of Alcoholics Anonymous groups. Leading a small group can be very rewarding but it can also have its challenges. This course will provide for the group facilitator all that is needed to start and maintain a support group ministry in a church.

News

       

 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!
