Testimonies

Pastor Scott has quite literally been a God-send to me. He has helped me navigate through the most painful and challenging season of my entire life. His knowledge of scripture surpasses anyone I know and the wisdom he uses to “rightly divide” it is life-giving. I’ve been facing such high anxiety for a long time and every time we speak my perspective shifts to one that is more Biblically-based and I am comforted. His patience, kindness and generosity to me mean more than I know how to put into words.

Pastor Scott had a huge part in guiding my thinking in how to be a godly dad to my teenage son during a difficult season. The changes God has done in my son’s life since are life-altering. The Spirit of God abides in him. The evidence is astounding, as witnessed by his spiritual disciplines in the word, prayer, worship and evangelism. Praise God for all He has done and continues to do!

My husband and I were going through a very difficult time in our marriage. Scott helped us work through the underlying sin issues and the array of emotions that went along with these issues. I was amazed at how quickly Scott would connect the thoughts and feelings I was sharing to specific Scriptures. He knows the Bible so well and is able to apply it to everyday issues. I’m so thankful we were counseled by him.

I am truly thankful the Lord brought Scott in my life in a time when I was spiritually disoriented and in need of loving counsel. He spent many hours counseling me through the difficulties of my personal life, marriage, family relationships, and how the Gospel changes us in the day by day. Scott made such an impact in my life that I am now training to learn how to love those within my local church in the same way that he loved me.

My husband and I were in our 5th year of ministry with at-risk teens. We were on call 24/7 for two weeks at a time, and I was worn out and ready to leave. My husband, however, was not. After much prayer, my husband asked if it was ok to contact Scott. I agreed, but honestly did not think he could help us. I was completely wrong. Scott was amazing! He showed us Scripture in a whole new light and led us to seek answers and guidance in a way we never had before. We are still using what he taught us and teaching it to our children. Scott was gentle and kind, and we felt comfortable opening up about things we had never shared outside our marriage. With his guidance, we made decisions we’ve not regretted. We owe so much to Him.

I saw Scott prior to an unwanted divorce. I have met with him virtually since then. I love his ability to bring scripture to life in practical ways. He is a wealth of knowledge and full of biblical practical resources and tools to help me with the challenges I'm facing in a very Godly way.

Scott Kennedy is the single most gifted Christian counselor I have encountered in 18 years of ministry. Whether he is providing acute soul care for someone in crisis or cultivating a culture of mutual care in a congregation, he understands how to help. As a pastor who is not a naturally gifted counselor, Scott's coaching and teaching have helped me better care for my congregation and transformed the way I think about Biblical counseling.
