Origins of Biblical Response Therapy®
Biblical
Response Therapy® originated from a powerful dilemma
that Dan Gabbert experienced while in church pastoral
ministry.
The Bible is clear that we are three-dimensional
beings (mental, spiritual, and physical), and God wants us to
prosper and be in health in all three dimensions.
3 John 2; 1 Thessalonians 5:23,24. In his pastoral ministry,
Dan was seeing special mental and spiritual needs among the
church members in his districts that he felt
ill-equipped to handle. There were struggles with depression,
fear, anger, and other threatening life situations. Some of
those church members were trying to do the best they could to
maintain with God’s help alone. But others were turning to
secular mental health practices, laced with fallen man’s
philosophies, for guidance and help. Colossians 2:8,9. With
the knowledge and understanding Pastor Dan had at the time, he
felt extremely limited in his ability to minister to these
hurting individuals. He also recognized that if the Most High
created us, the Lord certainly should know how to fix any
problems people may encounter in life. Because of that great
unmet need in Dan’s ministry and not willing to trust the
approaches secular counseling and psychology were offering,
Dan began a diligent search of the Scriptures and Spirit of
Prophecy for answers. This journey ultimately led him to an
opportunity at the Black Hills Health and Education Center to
practice what God was teaching him. For the past seven years,
working with hundreds of wellness guests carrying an immense
variety of life histories, Dan and his wife Patsy have had the
incredible privilege of developing a coaching (counseling)
approach called Biblical Response Therapy® that is based strictly upon the
principles of God’s word, validated by the Spirit of Prophecy
and scientific research.
