The Julianna Poor Memorial Counseling Center of Houston's First Baptist Church is pleased to announce the offering of From Purpose to Passion Counseling Intensives for individuals and couples. These intensives are from a Spiritual Direction perspective and emphasize the individual's or couple's Spiritual Formation. All intensives are led by the professional staff of the counseling center.

Are you struggling with making sense of life? Are you obsessed with resolving problems that will not go away? In this intensive, we will explore what it would be like to experience God in the midst of your circumstances, instead of focusing on changing your circumstances.

James asks us why we fight. His answer-because we do not get what we want (James 4:1–2). In this intensive we will explore the true source of conflict and seek to identify and eliminate what stands in the way of intimacy with God and each other.

Most intensives require at least a two week notice and an initial session. These requirements enable us to get to know you a little before the intensive and to help us assemble the best team to meet your needs. Full day Intensives are from 9a-4p with a lunch provided and Half day intensives are 9a-12p or 1p-4p (no lunch). The fees for intensives are $600 for full day and $300 for half day. To schedule an intensive and the initial session call our office at 713.335.6462
