EVOLVE: Transformative Biblical Counseling Center

Men's health has been receiving increased attention in health care research and practice because of the negative outcomes and men's reluctance to seek help.  Men seem to be less religious as compared with women, a potential problem as men may be missing an important pathway to health and wellness.  Four health problems have been identified as pertinent to men's health:

1.  prostate cancer screening and coping.  2.  HIV/AIDS prevention and coping  3. addictions 4. and what the patient's physician can do to address needs, alleviate suffering, and facilitate discharge from the hospital and care at home. 

Reults of studies indicate that greater spirituality is associated with greater decision-making satisfaction.  However, for those who accepted illness as God's will, medications and treatment were viewed as futile.

Ephesians 5:28-29 NIV- "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. 29 He who loves his wife loves himself.  After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just  as Christ does the church.
