Life Issues: Finances

Life Issues Counseling – Introduction

Life Issues Counseling at Unbroken Covenant Cathedral exists to bring clarity, healing, and direction through the power of Jesus Christ and the truth of God’s Word. Financial pressure is one of the most common sources of stress, fear, and conflict, yet Scripture reminds us that God cares deeply about every area of our lives—including our finances.

 

Our counseling ministry is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and Spirit-led. Through prayer, biblical wisdom, and compassionate guidance, individuals and families are encouraged to trust God as their source, steward His provision faithfully, and walk in peace and purpose.

Life Issue: Finances

Trusting God as Your Provider and Source

Financial challenges can bring anxiety, discouragement, and uncertainty. Whether facing debt, lack, poor financial decisions, or unexpected hardship, God’s Word provides wisdom, balance, and hope. The Bible does not promise a life without financial challenges—but it does promise God’s faithful provision and guidance.

 

True financial freedom begins not with money, but with trusting God.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
— Psalm 23:1
