About New Life
New Life offers compassionate and empowering solutions to those who find themselves in life’s hardest places and who are missing what God desires for their lives. Family, friends, and churches want to help but are not always equipped to care for those dealing with problems like addiction, pornography, infidelity, anxiety, anger, fear, depression, and hurts from the past.
New Life combines a deep commitment to biblical truth with the best in psychological knowledge. We firmly believe that applying proven techniques for emotional, physical, and spiritual health is in accordance with God’s call to live in wholeness and redemptive relationships. And, we’re not afraid to share our own struggles, because we’re all on this journey together.
New Life isn’t focused on making people feel better. We’re focused on helping people do the hard work that will actually help them be better. That’s what true healing means. We take people out of the isolation caused by trauma and sin, and help them find the path and the process to a right relationship with God.
Through our live call-in radio and TV broadcasts, New Life LIVE and Weekend Workshops, we provide practical wisdom and help people see that they are not alone. And by connecting people to a professional in our New Life Counselor Network, we are helping many find the intensive support they need.
