For those of you who are not aware, at this conference there are 6 tracks available for attendees to choose. Tracks 1-4 are the basic core training tracks. Track 5 is for those attendees who are desiring to gain official certification from the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors (NANC). Track 6 is an opportunity to examine case studies and work through them.
Lynn and I are attending Track 5, we are seeking national NANC certification. For the most part this is a very tough Track mentally as you are working on two major tests. The first is a theological exam covering a number of doctrinal/theological issues and the second is a counselor's exam covering the nuts and bolts of the counseling process itself.
It has been a very good week so far although between the long days in class and the weirdness of being on eastern standard time, I seem to be extremely tired all the time. But the end result will be worth all the effort put forth in this intense week.
Like I tell my those who come to me for counsel ... Hard is hard;hard is not bad, hard is not impossible ... hard is just plain hard and we do hard things everyday!
I Remain,
Pastor Steve
