Testimonies
“I enrolled in CLU in October. The classes
have been beyond anything I had hoped for. This has been more like
an adventure
than school.”
— Vanessa Tinsley-Stone
“Even the first class changed my life. I
felt that not only was my mind being expanded by the truths
of God's Word, but my heart and spirit were also growing. This was a
school of the Spirit and was changing me with every class.”
—
Nicholas Kusmich
“Becoming a part of CLU has changed my life.
Something that is so fascinating to me in studying with the courses
of CLU is how each time I study, the presence of the Holy Spirit
is right there and is sooo strong. It grows
more intense at times. I am amazed at His presence, the wisdom
and what He reveals while studying.”
— Stacie Horne

any assignments to them. The courses may be purchased individually
or as a total package. If purchased as a pre-paid package, the cost
is reduced by 20%. Two to five courses are
sent at a time, as the student requests. Prices are subject to change
without notice. Payment may be made by credit card.
These courses may
be taken as a Christian
Counseling Certificate or applied as a major
concentration toward any of the following Christian
counseling degrees: Associate
of Christian Counseling, Bachelor
of Christian Counseling, Master
of Christian Counseling, or Doctor
of Christian
Counseling.
Additional work is required when an undergraduate-level course is
taken on the graduate level. Course substitutions
and combining major concentrations are possible when working toward
your Christian
counseling degree. Discuss these options with the Dean. The key
is to follow God's passion within your heart. Students in the Master's

programs earn approximately 30 credits for each degree from specific
courses, and the remaining 10 credits by doing practical ministry
work and earning "practica" credits.

REN103 Communion With God
3
credits $311.89
REN503
Communion With God (Graduate Level) 4 credits $399.88
This
course teaches you how to clearly hear God's voice, see divine vision
and journal (write out what God is speaking to you). The Holy Spirit
is the Wonderful Counselor, and when you can hear His voice on a
regular basis, He provides wonderful counsel to your heart. Eighty
percent of the counseling needs of a church will disappear once they
are taught the course Communion With God.
COU202 Counseled by God
3
credits $318.79
We
will let God speak to our hearts and counsel us about the basic emotional
pressures of life. These include anger, doubt, depression, condemnation
and inferiority. We will learn to let God replace these with His
opposites, as His voice releases His grace within our hearts. Those
whom the Son sets free are free indeed.
REN204 Naturally Supernatural
3
credits $281.93
Through
the working of Almighty God, He has joined His Spirit to our spirits.
We will study and experience the glory of Christ living within us,
as well as ways of approaching Him and releasing His indwelling presence.
We abide in Christ to the extent that we know that Christ abides
in us. We will also learn how to allow the gifts and fruit of the
Holy Spirit within us to flow out through us. Prerequisite: REN103
Communion With God.
COU301
Prayers That Heal the Heart
4
credits $402.73
This
course teaches a series of seven specific prayers that will break
bondages within your heart caused by spiritual forces. These prayers
include breaking generational sins and curses; severing ungodly soul
ties; removing negative beliefs and inner vows; healing traumatic
scenes; and casting out demonic energy that has connected itself
to these inner wounds of the heart and soul. The entire healing process
is sealed by doing an intensive meditation on biblical passages that
bear on the issues being healed so God can grant you illumined insights
from His Word.
COU310
Wisdom Through Dream Interpretation
3 credits $307.84
REN510 Wisdom Through Dream Interpretation
(Graduate) 4 credits $407.78
Psalms declares that God counsels
us at night through our dreams (Ps. 16:7). The dreams in the Bible
illustrate this principle, and all of us can learn to hear from God
during the two hours of dream life we have each night. In this course,
we will examine all 50 dreams of the Bible seeing how God interprets
the symbolism and speaks to His children through their dreams (Num.
12:6; Acts 2:17). Prerequisite: REN103 Communion With God.
COU203
Cornerstones of Communication
3 credits $325.94
Communication is the center of all
relationships, yet most of us are untrained in the dynamics of great
communication skills. With practice, every relationship you have
can be more effective and fulfilling.
REN207
Healing Anointing
3
credits $341.99
Because
Jesus has poured out His Spirit upon us, we can be ministers of His
salvation - healing for the spirit, soul, and body - by the anointing
that rests upon us. This practical course will give you keys to flowing
in that anointing of God.
REN206
Increasing the Anointing
3
credits $285.89
It
is only as we minister in the anointing of the Holy Spirit that we
can effectively touch the hearts of others. This practical course
trains you how to sense the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, how
to get to know Him as a Person, and how to release His power to heal
a hurting people.
BUS102
Fulfill Your Financial Destiny
3 credits $307.85
BUS502 Fulfill Your Financial Destiny
(Graduate Level) 4 credits $394.84
This course will give you Scriptural
support for the belief that God delights in the prosperity of His
children (Ps. 35:27). It is His desire that we lend and not borrow.
We are to be the head and not the tail, above and not underneath
(Deut. 28:12,13). God Himself teaches us to profit (Is. 48:17) and
has given us the power to make wealth (Deut. 8:18). Several hundred
verses on silver and gold will be examined, showing that we are to
create and release wealth into the kingdom of God.
HEA102
Take Charge of Your Health
3
credits $288.89
Your
body, soul and spirit are intrinsically connected. Sickness in any
one of these three areas contributes to sickness in the other areas.
In this course you will learn many natural, biblical approaches to
caring for the health of your body, soul and spirit.
LEA103
Gifted to Succeed
3
credits $270.94
"To
each of us grace has been given according to the measure of Christ's
gift...And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some
as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers for the equipping
of the saints." Do you know which of these heart motivations
God has given to you? Is God asking you to express this heart motivation
within or outside the structured church, or both? Which ministry
or vocation is He asking you to express yourself through? What kinds
of people do you need next to you to make you most effective? These
questions and many others will be answered.
REN105
Father Heart of God
3
credits $303.42
This
highly experiential course is designed to draw you into a closer
relationship with your heavenly Father, in which you have not only
a theological understanding of His deep love and affection for you,
but you also know it because you have personally felt it. You will
also learn how to help others overcome any hindrances in their lives
that prevent them from experiencing the love of the Father for themselves.
Prerequisite: REN103 Communion With God.

Careers
in Christian
Counseling
My
preference is that the Christian
counselor opt out of state licensing,
for I am not sure that the state knows enough about counseling to
license and thus have authority over the Christian counselor. Because
the U.S. Constitution forbids state interference in the practice
of one's religion, the Christian counselor can operate without state
interference.
My
suggestion is to begin taking and then teaching the Christian
counseling courses offered by CLU. These courses are practical, biblical, spiritual
and life-changing. Once you have taken any of these
courses,
you
can then teach them in a small group, home group, or Sunday school
class as often as you like.
I
believe that as people are drawn to these classes, they will become
aware that you also offer one-on-one counseling for individuals,
couples and parent-child relationships. They can be encouraged to
book appointments with you. You can charge a flat rate (perhaps $35
per hour), have a suggested donation, or charge on a sliding scale.
As you meet with people and they are helped, they will tell their
friends and your clientele will grow. I personally know counselors
who are doing this very successfully, and who even charge for their
courses sometimes. The testimonies they receive back from their clients
are that they are being helped much more than when they were going
to a state-licensed counselor. Isn’t that the way it should be?
Another
suggestion, of course, would be to work on staff at a local church.
