Covenant Biblical Counseling exists to provide biblically faithful, gospel-centered, personally caring, pastorally wise, and clinically competent Christian and professional counseling to Denton County, the surrounding areas, and beyond.
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are trustworthy and sufficient guides concerning everything that has to do with eternal life and godliness. God's Word tells us everything we need for salvation, lasting comfort, soul transformation, and loving obedience to him (2 Tim. 3:15-17; Heb. 4:12; 2 Pet. 1:3-4); while the love and ministry of Christ provides for us true hope and peace (John 14:27; John 16:33; Matt. 11:28-30; Heb. 7:25; Heb. 10:23). All of this is ultimately accomplished by the redeeming power of the Holy Spirit and through our humble dependence upon him (Isa. 55:6-9; Jer. 29:13; Gal. 3:3).
CBC is therefore deeply committed to understanding, educating, and counseling with a view to read and apply the Scriptures with a proper distinction between Law and Gospel and their respective intentions in a person's life.
Where God's Word does not directly address a given issue, we desire to be well informed and wise, within the bounds of a biblical truth, sanctified consciences, and a theological psychology, according to God's common graces, providential rule, and natural revelation in creation (Romans 1:19-20; Romans 2:14-15; Psalm 19:1-3).
Our counselors are certified through the Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC) and generally work in accordance with their Mission and Beliefs statement. We are also in general agreement with the Confessional Statement of the Biblical Counseling Coalition (BCC) and the Model of Care articulated by the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF).

More than probably anything else, shame is the junk beneath the junk in our lives. It’s a powerful motivator and at the same time, terrible at solving problems and bringing peace. It’s also an elusive enemy. Too often we don’t see it or realize its incredible influence over us. If you find that you’re often
Part 3 – Divine Simplicity I must confess—I especially enjoy discussing divine simplicity. It holds a special place in my heart. What a gloriously mysterious and worshipfully fascinating truth! Human expression will always come up wanting when describing God. Yet if we are silent, the very stones themselves may cry out (Luke 19:40). You won’t
Part 2 – Divine Aseity Not that I’m attempting necessarily–but if you forced me to choose the most foundational statement in the Bible concerning God’s being, essence, and activity–it would have to be his extraordinary self-description in Exodus 3:14. “I AM that I AM.” [1] Exod. 3:14 Every one of God’s attributes begins with this

I had the chance to sit down with Dave and Jarod of the King’s Highway Radio Podcast to discuss a section of the book entitled Power Religion: The Selling Out Of the Evangelical Church?

Contemporary culture has a plurality of opinions of how to view human identity. For some, self-esteem is the ultimate virtue to achieve. The spirituality of many is that if they could only have a higher view of themselves then they would be happy. However, the Bible has better news. Tim Keller’s “The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness”
