Dr. Jonie Dodgens has an Honorary Doctorate in Biblical Counseling. As a professional, she relies on Scripture as her foundational and primary source of counseling wisdom. As such, she helps people who are suffering, so that they might genuinely change in the inner person to be pleasing to God. After all, the Bible tells us who we are, why we’re here, how we exist in relationship to God. And how to understand the many hardships we experience in this life. It places our struggles and pain in the context of biblical truth and hope.

Then Dr. Dodgens helps people understand God’s purposes for them in pain, including the fears, despair, trauma, and other difficulties. Most importantly, she connects the implications of the gospel to the details of each person’s life. That’s what we all need most. That is, to see how the gospel applies to us, offers hope, and transforms us to look more like Christ when life is hard.
