Meet your teachers: Kirk and Melanie Lewis

For decades, Kirk and Melanie Lewis have ministered as a team, challenging people to an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. As counselors, they are committed to using Biblical principles to facilitate healing and liberate weary souls from emotional bondage. Their counsel is founded upon the belief that Jesus Christ is the center of well-being and that the Bible is the authority. Through the consistent application of Biblical truths, they have fostered a community of compassionate caregivers who strive to point others to find Christ relevant to every area of life. 

Desperately Dependent Community exists to engage and encourage Christian leaders to find Christ relevant to every area of life. It’s a genuine struggle in this sinful world, even for those in Christian leadership positions. Culture seduces us to seek solutions to ease our pain. But still, we end up feeling that something is missing. The passion of DDCommunity is to promote Christ as the solution to every issue.

Testimonials

Learning and growing in the iProcess course has been extremely beneficial for me when ministering to others who are struggling or just not understanding why their life is going the way it is. Through this counseling cohort, I have become more familiar with the iProcess and how it can be used in a practical way to help people. Seeing how it works in my own life and what God has done through it, leads me to be able to share with and minister to others in my life. It’s a valuable tool that I am able to use every day. Thank you, Kirk & Melanie, for following God’s leading and for the wisdom and insight this course has brought.

The iProcess has been beneficial from the counselor perspective while also learning the iProcess as a student. To learn that our identity is lost without being complete in Christ (Day 1.1-iProcess) has allowed me to be a bit more perceptive with people that the Lord places in my path. During this course I have been able through the iProcess to spot an identity crisis pretty quickly into our case studies. Having talked through different scenarios each week applying what we studied of the iProcess for each particular week has helped prepare me for conversations and interactions with people who are struggling with finding their identity in Christ.

I think my favorite chapter from the counselor perspective is chapter 7. God is working. I am to co-labor with God (Day 7.3-iProcess). This chapter is eye opening for those of us who are beginning to realize that God has a special plan and purpose for each of our lives and that our lives belong to Him. We are all ambassadors for Christ!

"God is working in and through me to accomplish His purposes. As I co-labor with Him, I must sacrifice my will to fulfill His plans"(Day 7.3-iProcess). In this counselor cohort class, it has been a joy to realize that I am exercising the iProcess in finding my identity in Christ, connecting my heart intimately with Him and co-laboring with Him in industry to share Him with others!

The iProcess is a valuable course addressing the most foundational aspects of Christian living. It encapsulates the most valuable truths to draw people to Christ and walk in freedom. Personally, I am going to refer to this material repeatedly and highly recommend it for others.

– Rashelle

During the 402 Counselor Cohort, I learned many things essential to giving wise biblical counsel. The one thing that continues to resonate with me is that biblical counseling is the fruit of living the iProcess. It is compelled industry forged in an intimate identity. Knowing who Christ is tells me who I am or gives me my identity. Being solidified in this identity, moves me to connect intimately with Christ. As I connect intimately with Christ, I am compelled to share HIM with others, a.k.a. give counsel as to how Christ makes the difference in any and every situation encountered during this earthly sojourn. Wise counsel then comes through me from Christ as he works in me to accomplish his will.

– Kevin

The iProcess Counselor Cohort was such an informative class, which would be useful for those pursuing a career as a biblical counselor. This class offers many tools to help you help others. But you do not have to be pursuing a biblical counselor certification to make use of this class. We all have those whom God puts in our path for a reason. This class provides the basics to help those people understand who God says they are. This is crucial to our understanding of our purpose in life. I highly recommend this Cohort to anyone who mentors anyone.
