Soul Care Training

2 year, 6 semester course - Thursdays 6:30-8:30pm

What Is Soul Care Training?

Soul Care Training equips pastors, lay counselors, and individuals to walk with others—and themselves—with grace, presence, and godly wisdom. Whether you're helping someone in pain or navigating your own story, Soul Care offers a path to deeper connection and Spirit-led response.


You’ll learn to:

  • Build confidence in caring for others and yourself
  • Engage in honest, soul-shaping conversations
  • Face hard realities with spiritual courage
  • Respond with a Godly response to our reality

 

Who It’s For

Soul Care Training is for those who want to grow in emotional and spiritual maturity—not by fixing others, but by caring for ourselves first. Resulting in our ability to love and care for others.

Each unit weaves together biblical wisdom and sound psychological insight to form a strong foundation for soul care ministry.


You’ll be invited to:

  • Grow in self-awareness and emotional maturity
  • Deepen connection in your relationships
  • Discern God's presence in both hardship and blessing
  • Shift from fixing to Spirit-led listening 
  • Learn principles that integrate faith and psychology

How It Works

Soul Care Training is taught by Terry Ewing, founder of Plumbline Ministries Inc., through six powerful units. Each unit stands on its own so you can begin the journey at any time.

  • Understand the foundations of spiritual warfare as common trial of life
  • Explore major diagnostic categories through a soul care lens 
  • Recognize how diagnoses impact individuals and family systems

Unit 6: This is Your Brain on Prayer

This unit explores how the brain is formed, how it functions, and how prayer can transform both. You’ll engage the intersection of neuroscience and spiritual formation—discovering how connecting with God promotes healing, renewal, and lasting change. Each session includes teaching and guided experiential application.


You’ll learn to:

  • Understand key aspects of brain development and function
