When is the last time you felt heard? Is there anyone shepherding your soul?
Today, I sit down with Bill Faris, MPC, who has 25 years of experience in Christian counseling. He has a shepherd’s heart, and he shows the love and care of Jesus to his clients.
Bill helps people flourish, and live in fruitfulness through faith in Jesus. Just as John 15 describes fruitful branches in connection with Jesus, the work of the Spirit, and the Father’s pruning, Bill facilitates personal growth by inspiring people’s courage to face fears and struggles. He celebrates their progress, and weeps with joy at the magnificent work of God.
The gospel of Jesus Christ relates to all the issues we face. Jesus cares about our heart. He wants us to speak to ourselves and others with His truth and love. Like broken pottery remade with gold in all the cracks (Kintsugi), Jesus’ work in our lives shows that He treasures us even in our brokenness, redeeming us into beautiful masterpieces of His grace. He will never throw us away, but will use His skill and glory to make us His treasure (2 Corinthians 4:7).
Want the courage to be humble? Want to be a good shepherd who loves the sheep rather than taking advantage of them? Learn to receive what you need from Jesus!
Stay tuned for the rest of our conversation in the next two weeks!
