History
Since 2001 a retreat in Denver, Colorado has used this same intensive counseling approach to renew and restore Christian leaders. These time-tested steps, used to resolve crisis-points for pastors, have been custom-fitted to the issues of marriage. Now the Ravines is using this same retreat approach to restore marriages in their time of crisis.
Location
The Ravines is a beautiful home built in Lowell, Indiana. The home provides guest suites for couples, allowing seclusion needed to focus on strengthening their relationship. It is located on nearly 10 acres of wooded property in a quiet, rural setting that has been designed for couples to come and embark on a new direction for their marriage.
Theoretical Basis for Counseling
The Christian therapist’s faith should inform and impact any psychological theory, methodology, exercise, or experience. At the Ravines we have a network of deeply committed Christian therapists applying their faith to the practice of leadership counseling and consultation through a variety of methods including sound use of Scripture, prayer, and appropriate psychological methodologies. We seek to partner with the local or sending church when appropriate due to a belief that all in the body of Christ are important in the healing, growing, and restoration process. It is the Holy Spirit of God that brings about transformed lives. It is our goal to be a part of this process as we speak the truth in love in an environment of grace, informed by our faith in Christ and our understanding of men and women. The goal is to glorify God and redemption and reconciliation of marriage.
