Counselling & Discipleship Training

|

May, 2024

Brad and Angela Verreynne explain the heart and purpose of this series to viewers. Jesus told us to make disciples, but this is more than simply instructing one another. This series aims to equip saints to use counselling skills as they disciple, making more meaningful connections and taking people deeper in their walk with Jesus.
