The Center For Biblical Counseling

Introduction: Purpose: To encourage families and individuals toward greater wholeness and healing through the practical application of real-life biblical principles and life-skills. At The Center, we want to help individuals discover the principles and learn the skills necessary to help them make progress in the real world, in the everyday context of real life. Whether the issues are in the areas of marriage, family life, addictive behaviors, parenting, spiritual or emotional concerns, or other personal issues, there is hope and there is encouragement and help available. Dr. Keith Davis has been a licensed and ordained minister for over 35 years. Keith and his wife Kathy have worked together as a team throughout that time. As pastors, they have worked with individuals and couples, counseling, and encouraging in many different ways. They have been involved in just about every aspect of church life and ministry in a variety of denominations. Keith and Kathy have had opportunity to pastor churches in Iowa, Washington, California, and Nebraska, including planting two churches in California. Over the last dozen years or so, they have worked together as professional Christian counselors, working with individuals and couples dealing with personal, relational, spiritual, emotional, and psychological issues of all kinds. As counselors, they recognize the need to integrate psychological and spiritual issues in helping people to deal more effectively with life's problems. Keith and Kathy embrace a biblical view of life and relationships and believe God's Word provides clear and dependable guidelines for living. They use a variety of tools and methodology and provide pathways to develop strategies for change. Removing symptoms is not the same as healing the cause. It is God who ultimately completes the process of change and healing as individuals respond to and apply the principles of God's Word. Keith and Kathy's specialty is working as a husband/wife team, which allows them to bring a unique male and female perspective to effectively get to the bottom line of marriage and ministry issues. You will benefit from their differing perspectives and the interaction between Keith and Kathy as they work with you to help you develop new skills and tools to help your relationship and ministry grow. Along with a bachelor's degree in bible/theology and sacred music, Keith has both a master's degree and Ph.D. in Christian counseling. Keith is also a licensed, ordained minister with The Christian and Missionary Alliance Organization and is an active member of The American Association of Christian Counselors. Keith and Kathy have five children, ranging in age from 17 to 23, including twins and an adopted daughter. Kathy is active in a leadership role with women in her local church, has been a mentor to many other women, and has served in various denominational leadership positions with women over the years. Dr. Keith: I wanted to take the time to share what my wife and I have experienced through your intensive. First, we felt we were in a good place and initially we did not feel that we "needed" marriage counseling but after 30 minutes of being with Dr. Keith and Kathy it became apparent that we needed to reflect on our marriage because we did not have to be content… we could thrive in our marriage! We were able to share in a safe setting and we were able to receive tools that instantly made a huge difference in our marriage. If there is a possibility of you taking the time to meet with Keith and Kathy jump on it! Because of the tools we learned with them we are discovering emotional intimacy on a much deeper level which has brought incredible fulfillment in our marriage. As a pastor's wife and mother of 7 amazing, busy young children I so appreciated time away with my husband to concentrate on our marriage. Ministry in itself is taxing, and ever so subtly our closest relationships, including our own self, can become compromised. Keith and Kathy spoke life and health into our weary spirits, and sent us off with amazing practical tools to focus on the relationships that matter most. God has refreshed our hearts during the 3-day Intensive. Thank you Keith and Kathy for sharing your ministry with us! Sincerely, K & C St. Louis, MO
