Drew begged his wife for one more chance. He desired to be a better man for his family’s sake but didn’t know how to go about it. He was reluctant to reach out for counseling before but said he would if his wife would give him another chance. She agreed. Through Christian counseling geared for men, Drew was initially apprehensive but then found his counselor to be very much like any other man who fights battles that are common to men. Drew became more comfortable and his life-changing journey began.

If like Drew, you have reservations concerning Christian counseling, you’re not alone. Studies show men to be considerably less likely to seek help through therapy. There are many who wait until there is a volatile situation or crisis before they finally get the support that is needed. Men are often taught from an early age to hide emotions or anything that might resemble a weakness. This accounts for fewer men reaching out for treatment. In learning to express the feelings you have, what it is you want in life, and finding out about who you really are, your life will change for the better.

Christian counseling can be of immense value for men as issues are sorted out and concerns are addressed. Identifying problems is the first step to finding solutions. Some common reasons males seek Christ-focused counseling include:
