Given the reality that troublesome passions will be present with us always, on what do you base your hope that you can become a powerful provider of SoulCare for others?

This confirms my inadequacy to offer help out of my own flesh, skills, and experiences. However, Christ is in me, the hope of glory. In the believer receiving SoulCare, Christ is in them. This perspective sets a foundation for the Holy Spirit to work.

I think we christians can develop the fruit of the spirit and make die our flesh through the constant and persistent practice of the spiritual disciplines: fasting, praying and reading the Bible. That way we could be able to make our internal passions settle down a bit, and strengthen our spiritual nature. Also praying in thongues assists supernaturally to develop spiritual maturity, better temper, the Fruit of the Spirit and soul healing. That’s my plan to settle my internal passions in order to be a good SoulCare provider.

First, how freeing to know that we all have junk and that will never go away. This was a lightbulb moment for me. It makes so much sense to accept that fact and takes the pressure off of always feeling like you’re trying to work past the junk. This fact in combination with knowing about the heart I received when I accepted Christ, will propel me towards helping others. Knowing that there is more to tap into and that the Spirit will guide me gives me great hope. This hope looks like moving away from moralism or therapeutic help to leading another to embrace Christ more.

My hope is only in the Lord to help me know what it will take to help someone explore their own soul.

Realizing that my own inadequacy is in fact a necessary evil to get us to go deeper to solely rely on God’s power; under the direction of the Holy spirit rather than knowledge or professional training is the beginning.
Lay Christians can offer Soul Care that begins with relationship building on Christ. I definitely can learn to be curious about what really happen in other’s lives which leads to lives impacting lives that gives me hope of being able to provide some Soul Care leveraging on sharing my own spiritual walk with others.
