Brian's Christian faith is the central factor in his life, and provides him with strength and hope based on the incredible grace that he finds in Christ. He intentionally sought out training that integrated psychology and Christian theological learning. Though not all of his patients share this faith, or wish to look at their issues through this frame, Brian is trained and glad to address issues from this perspective. Brian is also a member of Christ Community Church in Franklin, and is so thankful for the community of grace that he finds there.

While most Christian Counselors pride themselves on how many Scriptural passages they can recite and how many links they can make from the Bible to psychological disorders, the Christian-centric work of Grey Matters International, Inc.is grounded in one principle: truth. For us, the work is more about truth and transparency of Christ's message and working on the natural laws of accountability and decision making that evolves from that. If one honors God's natural laws of reaping and sowing around the decisions one makes, one is indeed living Scripture to its fullest. We prepare the brain to better maximize the spiritual realities of Christ's words. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

C.S. Lewis reminds us that "you have never met a mere mortal". As a Christian counselor, the idea that each of us is created in the image of God has profound implications for how I engage with my clients. When clients more fully embrace their God-given design, including their deepest longings, and also come to recognize some strategies for fulfilling those desires that may be at odds with God's purposes, real growth becomes possible. Happiness in life then becomes the byproduct, rather than the goal, of true progress.
