Joshua Bible College affirms that the only means of authentic change begins with TRUST in the WORD of GOD. The ultimate jurisdiction of counseling falls within His Authority and not secular psychology. Our commitment to Neurotheological Biblical Counseling is an outworking of our commitment to these truths.
When we refer to Neurotheological Biblical Counseling at Joshua House Biblical Counseling Clinic, we refer to "the ministry of the Word of God, tailored specifically to the individuals involved. Biblical Counselors and Brain-based therapy must acknowledge that human beings struggle with biological and soul-focused issues."
Although there are important nuances to Neurotheological Biblical Counseling — such as the qualifications to counsel or methods of counseling — Neurotheological Biblical Counseling is simply the ministry of the sufficient WORD of GOD tailored to people. Make no mistake; we do not refuse to accept the revelation from GOD in the area of science in biological Brain health needs.
Neurotheological Biblical Counseling works through the "renewing of the mind." Neurotheological Biblical Soulology is a "study of the soul" and "science of Brain (mind) and Soul behavior."
Unlike secular psychology, Neurotheological Biblical Counseling cares about the Soul. (Gen. 2:7) Of great significance, though, Neurotheological Biblical Counseling is committed to the fact that to engage in “psychology”, one must be committed to the authority of GOD's WORD to articulate the nature of the Soul (NSHMH) and human behavior ! This TRUTH is where Neurotheological Biblical Counseling differs from secular psychology.
GOD’s WORD as Authoritative Truth: It must be said that all Neurotheological Biblical Counseling sees GOD's WORD as being the final authority of Truth, that morality is absolute and not evolutionary or utilitarian, and how we know Truth. GOD's WORD is the lens through which we should view the world, including human behavior. This TRUTH means that we are committed to GOD's articulation of the Soul (Deu. 2:7), human motivation, and human behavior as authoritative over any form of competing truth claims about these issues. We cannot espouse another seemingly authoritative truth over human behavior and trust that, in so doing, we elevate the wisdom of man only through the Truth of GOD when we are asked, "Why Neurotheological Biblical Counseling and not secular psychology?"

What’s the difference between secular psychology and Neurotheological Biblical Counseling?
Secular psychology method: You change your behavior, you will change your thinking (this method makes you god)
Neurotheological Biblical Counseling method: helping you to see true change comes from “renewing of the mind (soul),” (Gen. 2:7) which requires the breath (NShMH נשימה) of YHVH, our GOD (bless his name), which regenerates, giving authority and power to your thinking, causing a change in your behavior. Amen
