1. Where will we be staying during our visit to His High Places?
When you come to HHP for a typical 6 day visit, you stay in separate cozy guest quarters having a living room, full kitchen, dining area, and separate bedroom with a queen sized bed and full bath.

2. What makes His High Places unique?
First and foremost, our counseling is 99% one-on-one instead of group. Our counseling approach is a combination of diagnostic listening, spiritual surgery for root causes, and prayerful application. Together with you, we attempt to discover the roots of the problem and design a recovery plan that is God-directed and believable. We attempt to go deeper than behavioral modification by placing root causes under deep prayer therapy, utilizing biblical inner healing (Eph. 3:16), soaking prayer, individual counseling and acknowledgement of (with preparation for) spiritual warfare. One of the chief functions of victorious counseling is to see that you are accurately understood -- but it should not stop there. God has answers and solutions. Also, we encourage you to actually embrace your healing as a process.

3. What do we expect from you, the clients?
We ask for 3 things from you:
-  Teachability
-  Full disclosure
-  At least 3 prayer warriors covering you while at HHP

With the Holy Spirit's leading, plus the length and frequency of sessions, issues are addressed that may have never been explored.

4. What about follow up?
Near the end of an HHP visit, action and follow-up plans are drawn up for back home. Sometimes that includes phone counseling appointments and suggested shorter follow-up visits to HHP.

5. What is the typical daily routine like?
Each day we begin sessions between 10:30 and 11am, breaking for lunch around 12:30 or 1:00 pm. In the afternoon there are assignments of reading, videos and/or other work as well as plenty of free time. Your next session will begin at about 3:30 pm and wrap up around 5:30 pm.  We gather for supper together about 6 pm. After supper we work a bit more, then end with a major motion picture which has appropriate teaching value.

6. What types of issues do you address?
We bring scriptural direction to those of you who need the renewing and the healing touch of Jesus Christ. Some issues for which we see real progress are:
-  Moral failure: affairs, financial misconduct, dishonesty, pornography
-  Inordinate anger
-  Depression, burnout, workaholism and grief processing
-  Marital disharmony, strife
-  Life management and relational issues (life out of control)
-  Divorce recovery and self-worth issues
-  Adult sexual dysfunction and sins
-  Career disillusionment and clarification
-  Past childhood abuse which interrupts life (emotional, physical or sexual)
-  Financial bondage/mismanagement
-  Child discipline problems often due to not recognizing one's family as top priority after God and before vocation

7. Attitudes
We are both humbled and awed by what God is doing through the ministry of His High Places. There comes a time when we must "get off the treadmill" to seek God when life's pressures prevent us from functioning as God desires. Surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, God's healing process begins. We are convinced Satan's number one target is the home. Disruption, harm or disillusionment in the home causes damage not only to the current home, but future generations as well. It certainly isn't the "abundant life." When a marriage is restored or a life put back on track, the whole body of Christ benefits.

Our first calling is to those in full time ministry. Over 50% of you are referred by pastors, counselors and former clients. HHP in effect becomes a counseling arm to the larger Body of Christ. Folks have come from 23 states and from at least 16 denominations, as well as various parachurch and independent organizations.

8. Is there paperwork that needs to be filled out?

Yes, the Client Services Coordinator will send you a packet of forms to complete prior to your arrival.
