Journey of the Soul, edited by Tim Sumerlin
Many of us have spent too much time in our lives burned out and tired of the Christian walk. We don't leave our faith, because we love God and others, but we find it difficult to remain zealous and energized to serve him as we did before. Some of this may be due to simply growing older and physically not being able to maintain our previous schedules, but much of it can be spiritual in nature. The answers often lie within.
Without balance and a proper orientation in trusting God to work, we can experience a fatigue that is faith damaging. We tire physically and spiritually, and our love for God may grow cold (Matthew 24:12). But God is an expert at healing hearts and bringing life to the dead (Ezekiel 11:19, 36:26), and this ministry of healing continues to this day with his Son, Jesus. The topics covered in this book will help you find rest in God. The men and women (therapists, ministers, counselors, teachers, and scholars) who authored these essays are often at the forefront of change in our churches.
Our hope and prayer are that your time in this book will allow you space, knowledge, and encouragement to find approaches that help you to connect with God, follow Jesus, and listen to the Holy Spirit in refreshing and life-giving ways. Learn from writers like:

We are looking for clinicians and coaches in every state and see if there is interest in getting referrals that we receive per state and specialty. We get hundreds of requests from every state we would love to refer them to their practice. All clinicians and coaches work as 1099 contractors at a great rate. We would love to connect Christians with Christian counselors and coaches. We also have the ability to provide supervision for provisional clinicians in Social work, Mental health, and MFTs. Pay is competitive and we are looking for full-time and part-time coaches and clinicians.
