Anchored Biblical Counseling
Equipping Spiritually Mature Leaders to Facilitate Gospel-Centered Healing Prayer
Guided Prayer Sessions are a Scripture-anchored, Spirit-dependent prayer process led by a trained facilitator who gently guides individuals to listen for the Holy Spirit, identify wounds or lies shaping present struggles, invite Jesus into painful memories, receive His truth and healing, renounce false agreements, and move forward in restored identity. It is not counseling, emotional coaching, or deliverance ministry; the facilitator does not diagnose or fix but prayerfully creates space for Jesus to minister directly to the heart.
​
This training is designed for those who desire to serve others through structured prayer that leads toward freedom, healing, and renewed identity in Christ.
“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”
– Hosea 4:6 (NIV)
This certification exists to equip biblically grounded prayer leaders who can safely and faithfully facilitate inner healing prayer within clear theological, emotional, and ethical boundaries.
​​Participants receive strong doctrinal foundations, training in discernment between emotional wounds and spiritual oppression, structured session methodology, Spirit-dependent facilitation practices, and safeguards that protect both facilitator and participant. This program is designed for pastors, church staff, prayer team members, biblical counselors, small-group leaders, and spiritually mature believers who sense a calling to soul care. Participants must demonstrate humility, emotional steadiness, spiritual maturity, and a commitment to remain fully submitted to Scripture.
​
​
​
Participants are trained in three key areas: biblical and theological foundations of healing prayer (Gospel-centered prayer, Christ’s authority, identity, repentance, forgiveness, and Spirit-led ministry); practical facilitation skills (session structure, listening prayer, identifying root lies, guiding forgiveness, helping individuals receive truth from Jesus, referral awareness, and emotional safety); and ethical boundaries (role clarity, confidentiality, trauma-informed care, spiritual humility, and avoidance of manipulation).
What You Will Learn
Certification Requirements
Certification requires full completion of all course modules, participation in live training and practice sessions, facilitation of supervised Guided Prayer Sessions, demonstrated theological accuracy and safe leadership, and submission of a final evaluation and reflection. Certification affirms readiness to minister under the ABC framework rather than granting independent spiritual authority. The training includes online video instruction, guided worksheets and session tools, live Zoom intensives, supervised practicum experiences, and continued mentorship for accountability and growth.
Why This Training Matters
Many believers carry hidden wounds, shame, spiritual lies, and unresolved pain that influence anxiety, addiction, depression, and relational brokenness, yet churches often lack trained leaders equipped to walk people prayerfully toward healing. This certification provides a biblically faithful and structured pathway to help individuals encounter the freedom and restoration Christ has already secured for them. This training is unapologetically Christ-centered and Gospel-driven, governed fully by Scripture, dependent on the Holy Spirit and designed specifically for safe and faithful use within church ministry contexts.
