At Isaiah 43 Christian Counseling Services, PLLC, we have a strong desire to make an impact in the world around us, simply by sharing the Gospel with others in a unique, professional way. We have always simply desired to love God and love people regardless of beliefs and lifestyles. We believe that Christ is very clear when he says in Matthew 22:36-40 (CSB), "Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest? He said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the Prophets depend on these two commands." We hope to share the love and light of Christ in the Barren County Community. We are so thankful that the Lord has paved a way for us to combine our Clinical skills with our love for him, to share his love with those around us who are experiencing great sorrow and pain. With Christ all things are possible and we look forward to meeting with you to help you through some of your darkest days. "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.' Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may reside in me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 (CSB) Amanda K.
