CTSP601‒ Counseling for Spiritual Restoration: Description

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course draws on the foundational work of Neil T. Anderson, whose integrated approach to freedom in Christ has shaped Christian counseling and discipleship worldwide. Through The Bondage Breaker and its companion workbook, students examine the believer’s identity in Christ, the nature of spiritual bondage, and the biblical basis for breaking strongholds rooted in deception, sin, and demonic influence.

Anderson’s approach is theologically grounded and pastorally practical, equipping students to recognize and address the spiritual conflicts that undermine emotional and spiritual wholeness.

The Steps to Freedom in Christ Study Guide moves students from theory to application, walking through a structured process of confession, renunciation, and renewal. Together, these resources form a comprehensive framework for biblically-based restorative counseling ministry.
