What Is Christian Counseling?
Abundant Grace International employs a method of Discipleship Counseling utilizing spiritual, Biblical principles. In this kind of counseling, the Holy Spirit, not the counselor, is The Counselor, and God becomes the agent of change, provided the counselee cooperates with Him. Our goal is to convey a way of freedom from mental and emotional symptoms, family and marital conflict, as well as other difficulties.
Who Is Counseling For?
Our desire is to minister the New Covenant of Grace to those who desire to walk in freedom from any difficulties in which they find themselves. In addition, we disciple Christians who come with “no presenting” problem other than to grow in their walk with Christ.
What Can I Expect?
Abundant Grace International offers an initial intake session to discuss your needs and goals. Every session with our counselors is confidential as well as offered in a safe, comfortable setting.
1. How Do I Start the Counseling Process?
Call our office at 864-553-3866 to set up an initial appointment. We offer a safe and confidential intake to discuss your presenting problem.
2. How long do the sessions last?
Regular counseling sessions are fifty minutes in length and normally begin on the hour. This constitutes one counseling hour. You may expect at least 4-6 months of sessions; however, timing does vary based on client goals and needs.
3. How much does counseling cost?
Our counseling sessions start with an initial consultation for $95.00. Individual and couples counseling sessions are offered on a sliding monetary scale. The services we provide can be life changing and have lasting value, therefore, we encourage you to not only invest time and energy into your counseling but to make a financial investment as well.

Why Giving Up Control May Not Give Us Peace
by Mark Maulding –
Did you know that worry, anxiety, fear, anger, and exhaustion are often the results of fighting for control of unchangeable circumstances and relationships? Yet, giving up control is not enough and will not last. Why? The flesh desperately desires to stay in control. What is the flesh? Good or bad patterns, we have learned to try to meet our basic needs in our own way for Love, Acceptance, Worth, and Security. The flesh can also be described as all the ways I’ve attempted to make my life meaningful, apart from God…
Knowing His Presence
~ by Wild At Heart
I love feeling happy. Absolutely love it. Who doesn’t? But my pursuit of it has sometimes gotten me into trouble. I’m pretty sure it’s gotten you into trouble too.
Sometimes I wonder if, in our mad pursuit of happiness, we run right past the joy that might be ours…
Seeds of Joy
~ by Wild At Heart
Ignoring reality does not breed joy. Pretending that what is true does not exist is not holy defiance. The seeds of joy can only be firmly planted in the pungent soil of the here and now while at the same time being tethered to eternity. Joy is fully rooted in the truth. Joy embraces all the senses and is fully awake to the laughter, the wonder, and the beauty present in the moment as well as the sorrow, the angst, and the fear. Joy says, “Even so, I have a reason to celebrate.”…
Do You Know How to Be Strong in the Lord?
by Mark Maulding –
People often say, “He/She is a strong person” or “I’m a strong person.” How about you? What do you tell yourself and others?
What if God created us to be strong, not in ourselves but in the Lord? That’s precisely what He intended for each of us according to Ephesians 6:10, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.” (NASB) So, then, how can we be strong in the Lord?…

The Greatest Rescue Mission Ever!
~ By Renée Berry
“…everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25 NKJV).
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16 ESV)
I was thinking about the season we are approaching as I began to read an Advent devotional. The word “rescue” came to mind. I agree! Jesus’ coming to us was the biggest rescue mission in history. I began to relate that to my thought patterns. I can’t tell you how many times a day I ask myself the question, “What am I going to do?” When I consider that question, I am seeking a solution and thinking about what “seems right in my own eyes” according to my finite mind…
How to Have True Assurance – Part 1
~ By John Woodward
When I embarked as a high school graduate from Atlanta, Georgia to Florida Bible College, one of my main concerns was to gain the assurance of my salvation. On my parent’s recommendation and sponsorship I planned to get a year of biblical training as a foundation for my future career–whatever that might be. Although I received Christ as my personal Savior at an early age and attended church with my family, I read only little of the Bible. In my middle teen years I lacked a deeper commitment to eternal values.
