What People Are Saying
“ I used to be skeptical when I heard of pastors and leaders meeting with a counsellor regularly for guidance, help, and check ins. A year ago, I changed my mind and decided to try it. I booked one session with Brian and now it's a recurring event in my calendar. The check in's I've had have been very encouraging and helpful. As our relationship has grown, I've recommended several times that people I care for meet with Brian and Biblical Living Center is now at the top of my list when other pastors ask me for my recommendation for Biblical counselling.” - Local Pastor, Anon.
“Brian has truly been an answer to prayer for us. He consistently pointed us back to the bible, gave us good counsel and helped us to get unstuck in our marriage. He encouraged us to put our hope in Jesus and helped us to hear and love each other better. He also did an incredible job advocating for both of us but still challenging us to own our areas of weakness and work through them with the Lord. We would highly recommend Brian Alton and the Biblical Living Center to anyone in need of counseling."
Justin and Natalie from Michigan

Brian is a truly compassionate man who is quick to listen. I always felt encouraged by him, and yet he wasn't afraid to challenge me. He counsels not only by his words but by his example as a man of God.

He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
