1. I have friend her name is RIza, she's very good to talk with, because every time we have a conversation she will listen to you attentively and what's really good to her is, she will not be upset when you are upset or angry when you are angry. She will ask you essential questions to further understand your story before giving her comment- if necessary.
2.Yes, because God teaches us morality. the Bible is clearly saying how sinful the nature of human being is and because of that their decisions is merely bound to failure. When you are with God, he will teach you the very design he had made for his creation. Furthermore, God teaches us not to hate people but to love them as how God loved us.

1. I don't personally know them but I listen to their podcast and it really helps me to focus on what I am doing right now. They help me understand that there are things that is not currently right for my season and I should enjoy what I am, what I have and what I am doing right now. They told to me that in my season right now, I should explore, meeting new people, develop my skills, discover things that I am good at. I think they are one of a good counselor for they experienced the things they talked about in the podcast or even they not they try to put themselves into the person's shoes.
2. Yes, because I think they can think more logically on what the person feel as Jesus Christ felt all kinds of pains and sufferings in this world. Though I don't judge the counselors that weren't know Christ. But I prefer on having a counselor that knows Jesus Christ as his Lord and saviour and the giver of his gift to counsel others.

1. As my experience of conversing with others and having a problem that I need to solve, I have encountered a lot of personalities that offer me advice to solve my problems and to reduce my burden, as I observed that no one can displace everybody's mother, our mother's job is to give advice before she can give their children what is better.I found my mother to be a good counselor for me. She's always there, always beside me. She is trustworthy and has a good personality because of our secrets.
2.Yes, Because knowing Jesus Christ is the first step for us to be a good counselor and being an effective advisor to everyone.

1. One of the personal experience that I consider as a good counselor is my mentor because one of her traits is the way she speak she gave more encouragement, she is a good listener and good adviser also. in term of speaking she is more knowledgeable and she always shared her own experience in her life that's why she gave more inspiration to the person that she will communicate.
2. Yes , knowing God is the best way to make a good communication to others. God will teach us also the good traits on how to become a good counselor.

1. Base on my own experience i consider if a person is a good counselor if he/she know how to listen and respect what the person is saying about what the patient is going through. Because i once experience it and i never know that the person i am talking with was a real counselor. He just listen to my rants nothing more and then after that he ask me if he can talk then that time he just encourage me. Like, i realized that people who having anxiety or being sad is just need somone who are willing to listen with thier rants and that person did it.
2. Its a big yes, but i know not all of counselor is Christian but its a big factor if the counselor is Christian because that counselor may know more now how to face or to talk with the patient who need counseling and it is more better because knowing God will guide us, counselors on how may we able to communicate/handle our patient or the person we are counseling.

1. In my experience, in terms of sharing my problems I consider my one and childhood friend as a good counsellor because every time that I starting to her to open up my problem she was holding my hand and she will start listening, and the most thing that I really admire to her is the way how she response to me because when I felt mad to one person she didnt add some things that can make me get more angry and she was really a kind person because even she was so busy she can still spend time listening to my problem only.
2. Yes, there's a lot of advantage for the person in knowing Jesus Christ before counselling. Because for me it was a very effective way in terms of acquiring knowledge and wisdom to know the word of God, since his goodness is cannot be compared to anyone, the knowledge and wisdom that God established to the life of a person is unshakable and have a good foundation. Sometimes the person that needs to be counsel doesn't only need any word of wisdom and advices from any man, all that they need to hear and realize is the goodness of Lord Jesus Christ and his unconditional love He have to every human kind.

1. Based on my experience BEING A GOOD FRIEND WILL BE CONSIDER AS GOOD COUNSELOR, I have lots of friends, and most of the time I been there to listen their dramas, at the same time they're listening too. By the way, I just realized that in order to be a good counselor you should be good at listening. Listening can build strong foundation to be trusted more than speaking. Let them voice out, GOOD COUNSELOR WILL BE GOOD AT LISTENING.
2. Absolutely yes, God provided a lot of examples in the bible how to solve behavioral issues of human kind. He turns Apostle Paul from being Christian hunter to Christian redeemer. He make hope to the hopeless. There is a big advantage when you are Christian counselor because when you study how God change peoples attitude, you will know as well how to change people lives by the power of God.
1. In my personal experience I consider that my mother was a good counselor because she always told me what I need to do she always correct me if she notice that I made wrong. She always give me advice in my decision in my life.
ReplyDelete2. Yes because the teaching of Christ, is very helpful in giving advice in other people.
