Nouthetic Counseling

Study with Dr. Jay Adams.

While Jay Adams’ faith has been made sight, he left for the church of Jesus Christ a wealth of information in the form of his books and lectures. Before he died, he organized a curriculum that included everything he believed he could do to help both the new and the growing biblical counselor. That curriculum is available for you to study online and at your own pace.

Jay Adams nouthetic

The proper motivation for the Christian is to please God (have a good conscience toward Him), whether others are pleased or not. This is the goal of counseling—internal motivation; not merely obedience out of fear of punishment or hope of reward.

—Jay E. Adams
