Full of Grace and Truth

By Lana Lyman | August 1, 2026

John 1:14 says of Jesus: “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us… full of grace and truth.” Notice that Jesus did not come with grace or truth. He came full of both. Throughout His ministry, we see this beautiful balance repeated time and again. When Jesus met the woman at the well…

Apostolic Moral Purity is nearing the end of its sixth year. It has been a while since I last offered an update, and I wish to do so now. Apostolic Moral Purity (AMP) is an endorsed ministry of the UPCI. The purpose of AMP is to educate, support, and offer recovery to men, women, and…

Wholehearted Living in a Compartmentalized World

By Lana Lyman | June 6, 2026

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:8 – KJV). There’s a tension many people live with—one version of themselves in one space, another somewhere else. We show up to church one way. Another way at home. Another way in our thinking. Another way in our private struggles. And over time,…

Divine Neuroplasticity

Divine Neuroplasticity. Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2 (NLT) “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new…

When Grief Feels Wasted

By Lana Lyman | April 4, 2026

When Grief Feels Wasted “You keep track of all my sorrows—You have collected all my tears in your bottle—You have recorded each one in your book” (Psalm 56:8-NLT). There’s something deeply comforting—and almost mysterious—about this verse. God doesn’t just see our pain. He keeps it. Every tear you’ve cried in the dark… every moment of…

Dealing With Depression

By Daniel Sirstad | March 7, 2026

For the believer, navigating the darkness of depression is an active, spiritual battle. While the modern world seeks to medicalize every nuance of the human soul through the secular lens of psychiatry, we understand that the mind, body, and spirit are an interconnected battlefield. Dealing with depression in this context requires a strong grasp of…

Client Testimonials

Since this month is pastor appreciation, I wanted to let you know I appreciate your counsel. I realize you are not my pastor but I felt this was an appropriate time to show my appreciation.

Looking back, I can see how fragile and confused I was when I made the first call. I had difficulty even making the call. To be truthful, I was very apprehensive about starting counseling. By the second session, I knew I had made the right choice. In the midst of the most difficult year of my life, I feel I have grown emotionally and spiritually. I have more understanding about whom I am and a deeper relationship with God.

Thank you for providing Godly counsel and taking the time to help a broken individual sort though all kinds of emotions, so healing could take place.

I just wanted to take the time to say… Thank you!
