Counseling God’s Way

An Introduction and Explanation

When: Thursday, February 26, 2026
Where: School of Ministry Classroom 

To lay a foundation for understanding biblical counseling — what it is, why it matters, and how it differs from the world’s methods. Students will see how Christ and His Word are fully sufficient for life, godliness, and real change. 

Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. (Luke 9:23 NKJV)

Meet Jeff Christianson

I’d love the opportunity to get to know you. If you’re attending one of the teaching events, you’re warmly invited to connect with me for fellowship and prayer as time allows. If we don’t have the chance to meet in person, you’re welcome to contact my ministry office to connect later at (828) 707-9034.

I was discipled, trained, and mentored within the Calvary Chapel movement, shaped deeply by the ministry and example of Chuck Smith and Bob Hoekstra. Their commitment to servanthood, the sufficiency of Scripture, and Christ-centered ministry continues to mark my life and teaching.

In many ways, these faithful pastors passed the baton to me—much like Paul did to Timothy:

“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
2 Timothy 2:2 (NKJV)

By God’s grace, I now serve as the founder of the Calvary Chapel Fellowship of Biblical Counselors, a ministry built upon the Counseling God’s Way framework developed by Pastor Bob Hoekstra. The Lord has been faithful to allow me to serve and equip hundreds of men and women in Christ-centered, Scripture-sufficient soul care—always for the good of the local church and the glory of God.
