Life Issues
Life Issues Counseling – Introduction
Life Issues Counseling at Unbroken Covenant Cathedral exists to bring healing, clarity, and restoration through the power of Jesus Christ and the truth of God’s Word. Life can present unexpected challenges—seasons of loss, uncertainty, emotional pain, and practical struggles—but no issue is beyond God’s reach or concern.
Our counseling approach is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and compassion-driven. We believe that Jesus is not only the Savior of our souls but also the Shepherd of our lives. Through prayer, Scripture, and wise counsel, individuals are guided toward hope, purpose, and renewed strength. No matter the struggle, God’s covenant promises remain unbroken.
Life Issue: Out of Work
When Employment Is Lost, Hope Is Not
Being out of work can shake a person’s sense of security, identity, and confidence. It often brings emotional stress, financial pressure, and spiritual questions. However, Scripture reminds us that our provision, purpose, and value are not rooted in a paycheck—but in Christ.
“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 4:19
Unemployment may be a season, but it does not define your worth or your future. God often uses seasons of waiting to realign purpose, refine faith, and open doors that could not be accessed otherwise.
