Soul care is a term that describes counseling from an intentionally Biblical perspective. Christian Counseling is about processing and exploring your emotions, dysfunctional thinking patterns, and working on problematic behaviors. Soul care is the integration of Biblical truth and principles into the talking and healing process. If you are a person of faith and you’re looking for the assurance that your Christian beliefs and values, the Bible, and prayer will be central in the counseling process, then soul care may be for you.

A life coach helps people work on an identified problem towards clarity. Christian Life Coaching is about taking actionable steps forward. Coaching is less about processing your feelings and more about working side by side with someone to get to where you want to go. It is goal-drive, homework heavy, and short-term. If you are feeling stuck is a specific area of life and you’re looking for someone to act as a guide while walking with you shoulder to shoulder through the muck, then life coaching may be for you.
