This lesson aims to equip you to:

1. Understand the importance of reason as it applies to learning.
2. Reflect upon Genesis 2 and 3 with regard to work, blame, and hiding from personal responsibility
3. Reflect on James 5:16 and understand that as Christian counsellors, our role is to create safe spaces for people to confess and take responsibility for their own futures.
4. Grow in your understanding of confession. Confession means agreeing with God about your state of being. Confession is the opposite of blaming. Confession means stepping out of denial and accepting responsibility for our own choices and actions.
5. Learn to step out of denial and become responsible and accountable by: 1) Taking time to grieve, 2) Admitting to God “I am the problem.” And 3) Doing what you say.
