As a biblical counseling ministry, we are primarily focused on shepherding our counselees through to the point of grace-driven, Christ-centered, biblical heart change. This means that our concern is not mere behavior modification or symptom reduction, but is of the type described by the apostle Paul in Romans 12:2:
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." [emphasis added]
At Baylight, we recognize two biblical truths concerning the condition of us all: 1) we are both sinners and sufferers, and 2) we are both body and soul.
As such, we do not emphasize the spiritual over-against the physical, but always seek to discern what is the nature of a given problem, or cluster of problems. In this way, we can avoid the error of applying spiritual solutions to physical problems, or physical solutions to spiritual problems.
Counseling issues addressed at Baylight are as diverse as is the word of God. From joint marital concerns, such as poor communication or adultery, to individual concerns like depression and anxiety, we're here to serve you or someone you know through our Holistic-Redemptive approach to Biblical Counseling.
By "holistic," we mean to communicate that several distinctions are maintained in our approach to counseling, namely, body and soul, law and gospel, sin and suffering, as well as scripture and common grace. As to "redemptive," we are acknowledging that as Christians are a redeemed people, we naturally pursue biblically redemptive outcomes for every scenario. Scripture, and not man's wisdom, holds the place of authority to define for us what our goals for counseling ought to be.
