The Four Processes
of Counseling:
Facilitating Heart Change

Counseling Toolkit for
August 2025

“Just Do It” is an iconic slogan because it resonates with the natural bend of the fallen human heart. We attempt to achieve personal change by strategically swapping out behaviors and thoughts, only to get frustrated when our efforts do not go deep enough to last long. Lasting progress comes from deep heart change that ripples through all other areas of life, which is possible through personal encounters and deeper relational experiences with God. This Toolkit guides caretakers through the process of Facilitating Heart Change.
