                  • I was one of five students who were able to switch majors and graduate with a full Christian Counseling major at TFC\u2013the first year it was offered as a full major. Prior to that, it was a concentration under the Bible Theology Department.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n

                    \n

                    Corinthians 12:27-28<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    \u201cNow you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

                    Why TFC<\/div>\n
                    \n

                    I love working with the students and watching them grow and develop during their time at TFC and I love the courses I teach! I feel an overwhelming responsibility to share as much information with the students as I can in order to best prepare them for life after college, whether that includes graduate school or working in the helping field right out of college.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
