Pastoral Counseling Skills

Pastoral Counseling Skills is a 13-module training curriculum designed to provide pastors and others in ministry with the skills they need to provide effective pastoral or ministry counseling to those in their churches or organizations. 

CorrValues believes that the appropriate and necessary role of pastoral counseling has gotten lost in the Christian counseling movement.  Most information related to counseling in the church emphasizes the need to refer people in the church to counseling professionals, rather than focusing on the primary role of the pastor or other church leaders in counseling members of the congregation and the community.  It is our belief that pastors need to assume a primary role in counseling members of their churches or communities, while at the same time knowing when to refer to counseling professionals or psychologists.

"I was very apprehensive about taking the Basics of Pistol Shooting Class. I have always had a fear of guns and my first experience with another trainer was a horrible one. My husband and I were interested in home defense/security and decided to try another class with someone better qualified. We are so glad we did our research and found Daniel Blevins! Daniel Blevins is knowledgeable, thorough, and most importantly patient with nervous people like me. He answered every question we had and met my husband and I where we were at in confidence and skill. I have no doubt anyone who chooses to train with him will have the same confidence-building experience we did. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his training to anyone." - Felicity T
"Great experience for both my wife and me. Would recommend to anyone!" - John M
