Spiritual guidance is the practice of helping people deepen their relationship with Jesus.  The pastor is there to answer your questions about Jesus, faith, God, evil, sin, etc. He is there to listen to you pain, troubles and difficulties that arise from relationship issues, marriage counseling, divorce, pre or post abortion struggles, suicide, addiction, etc. The pastor is there to point back to Jesus and sharing His words of love and forgiveness.  He is there to encourage you in your journey with Christ and pray with you.
 
If more guidance or professional counseling is needed, he will refer you to a licensed counselor who can further assist.
