Healing for Every Home

December 16, 2024

by Clay Gill

As we reflect on the past year, one truth stands tall above all others: Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of hope and healing for every home. Throughout this year, our theme, More than Conquerors, has reminded us of the unshakable promise found in Romans 8:37: “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” This promise has been our foundation as we’ve walked alongside families, individuals, and communities, witnessing the transforming power of Christ at work.

A Year of Victories

The journey of this year has been filled with stories of lives restored and families strengthened. At Cord of 3, we have seen God’s hand in countless ways, whether through counseling sessions that broke chains of despair, workshops that empowered parents, or quiet moments of prayer that reminded someone they were not alone.

One of the most powerful examples of hope and healing came from a family who came to us on the verge of collapse. Addiction, mistrust, and years of unspoken pain had driven them apart. Yet through the power of Christ-centered counseling and their willingness to surrender to God’s plan, they experienced a breakthrough. Today, that family stands united, proclaiming, “God has done what we could never do on our own.”

These victories are not ours alone. They are yours too. Your prayers, support, and partnership have allowed Cord of 3 to be a vessel of God’s love, grace, and truth. Together, we have stood as witnesses to the fact that in Christ, no situation is beyond redemption, no home is beyond healing, and no heart is beyond hope.

Introducing Our New Theme: Pass the Baton

As we prepare for the new year, God is calling us to continue the work of restoration with a renewed focus. Our 2025 theme, Pass the Baton, is inspired by 2 Timothy 2:2: “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”

This theme challenges us to not only run our own race but to ensure the faith and hope we hold so dearly are passed to the next generation. In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected, this call to intentional discipleship is urgent.

Passing the baton requires preparation, trust, and intentionality. It means investing in the spiritual, emotional, and relational health of those around us, equipping them to carry the message of Christ into their own circles of influence.

In the coming year, Cord of 3 will focus on programs and resources that help individuals and families strengthen their foundations so they can pass on their faith, values, and love for Christ to others. We will prioritize mentoring relationships, discipleship opportunities, and practical tools for building legacies that last.

Hope for You

As we close this year of More than Conquerors and look forward to Pass the Baton, we want to remind you that no matter where you are in life, Jesus Christ is able to meet you there. Whether you are celebrating a season of joy, enduring a time of hardship, or simply longing for deeper connection with God and others, He is ready to bring hope and healing.

 

The journey of faith is not meant to be walked alone. If you need encouragement, prayer, or resources, we invite you to reach out. At Cord of 3, we are committed to coming alongside you, believing that every home can be a place of restoration and renewal when Christ is at the center.

Training and Discipleship

The Cord of 3 training and discipleship program serves the community by offering educational seminars on various mental health and related topics (parenting subjects, coping with loss, warning signs of addiction) as well as conferences, retreats, and seminars for area churches on matters that pertain to God’s design for the family.

Counselor Education & Supervision

Cord of 3’s Counselor education and supervision program is deigned to support interns who are completing their master’s degree, counselors who are working toward licensure, and professionals who are working to integrate their Chritian faith into their clinical practice.

Equine Therapy

Cord of 3’s equine therapy program is designed for individuals ages 7 and up as well as women ages 13+ and families. Equine therapy can help individuals and families overcome challenges, cuiltivate healthy relational skills, build trust, improve interpersonal and behavioral functioning, and create positive self-concept and identity in Christ.

Play God’s Way

A Christ-centered play therapy model to meet teh spiritual, emotional, and mental health needs of children. Through play therapy, children learn to accept responsibility for behavior, engage in healthy coping strategies, acquire problem-solving skills, develop empathy for others, and gain an understanding of identity in mChrist.

ADDICTION RECOVERY

Addictions always originate in pain… The question is never ‘why the addiction?,’ but rather ‘why the pain?’” (Dr. Gabor Maté). Counselors can help those struggling with addictions address underlying painful issues and then break the addictive patterns.

Child & Adolescent

Behavioral issues at home or in school often have an underlying cause, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions. The experienced staff at Cord of 3 meets each child with love, builds trust, and applies effective treatment that approaches the root cause of the behavior.

Marriage & Family

As in couple’s counseling, family counseling focuses on the relationship and dynamics within the family unit and between the individual members of it. Counselors will help clients identify unhealthy or unhelpful patterns, and to address them by developing healthier communication and conflict resolutions skills, create realistic expectations, and restructure familial roles to benefit everyone. The ultimate goal is to help the family be better able to thrive as a team.

STRESS & TRAUMA

Every person will at some point have at least one potentially traumatic experience, but this doesn’t impact everyone in the same ways. When struggling to process and move on from negative life experiences, therapy offers a powerful method of finding support and healing.

EMOTIONAL WHOLENESS

Individual counseling can help overcome the sometimes overwhelming fear and hopelessness by helping you better understand the conditions that led to the emotional brokenness you are experiencing, and applying healthy coping skills against them.
