Biblical Counseling: Charts

I wanted to share two charts from a Biblical Counseling course taken in Fall 2020.

This first chart shows the different elements involved in healing a human being created in the image of God.

Possibly even more revolutionary, is the Spokes of Support model. Human beings are designed for community. Despite anything a modern American might say about it, we were never intended to be isolationists. We only do well, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and financially, inside healthy safe community.

In an individualist culture, that can be especially challenging. This chart shows that you do not have to attempt to gain community from one single source. If you have various types of communities to plug into, you can shape your community for yourself. The more wide and varied your communities are, the less likely an abrupt change to one will deeply effect your life and emotional health.
