BCC Counseling Intensives

Three days of focused counsel. Six weeks of walking it out.

Focused, unhurried, together. Three days in a quiet, private setting — without the start-and-stop of weekly sessions.

Two intensive tracks

Both tracks include the assessment, all materials, and all six follow-up sessions — the couples track adds a second counselor. Choose the track that best fits your situation.

For marriages

Couples Intensive

For couples in crisis or stuck in a pattern that weekly counseling hasn’t broken — three days with two counselors — one walking with each of you — to get to the heart of the conflict together.

Day 1Your story · separately. Each spouse meets one-on-one with their own counselor — your full story, told without interruption.
Day 2The root · together. Both counselors, both of you — the heart issues underneath the conflict; confession and repentance.
Day 3Rebuilding · together. Both counselors, both of you — new habits, accountability, and your written Growth Plan.

Optional: bring a care partner — someone you both trust who sits in and helps you walk it out at home. No added cost.

For individuals & ministry leaders

Individual Intensive

For a besetting struggle, a season of burnout, or a ministry leader who needs renewal — one story, one schedule, and three days of concentrated work you can’t get in scattered weekly hours.

Day 1Your story. Your full life story and the pattern you’re here to address.
Day 2The root. Identity, belief, and the wound underneath the behavior.
Day 3The put-on. Concrete new structures and your written Growth Plan.

Optional: bring a care partner — a trusted friend or church leader who sits in and helps you walk it out at home. No added cost.
