TESTIMONIALS

Testimony 1

My husband and I have known Bro. Brad for 15 years plus.  He has been our sunday school teacher, we have heard many wonderful sermons and he has been and still is our dear friend.  3 years ago he became our counselor, not by my choice but because of a  choice my husband made that almost ended our marriage of 20 years.  For me, it was over.  I would never be able to forgive much less forget this horrible act that had been done.  The only reason I went for counseling is my parents and close friends wanted me to go for my sanity and to get help during this time.  On the other hand, my husband was begging for forgiveness and was willing to do whatever it took to save our marriage. 
I made an appointment with Bro. Brad and during our time together we prayed, talked, cried, and God took it from there.  I thank God for my friend, that was so concerned and genuinely loved both of us, not judging us, but loving us in a way that he could see God was not finished.  Even though I thought I was through, God wasn't.  Today, 3 years later, I have to say our marriage is better than it ever has been.  God is awesome, and through him and only him everything is possible.
  Thank you Bro. Brad for who you are and what you did for our family!  We love ya.

Testimony 2

“I can’t stand her!”  “If she died tomorrow, I would go to her funeral but I wouldn’t cry”. 
“I want nothing more to do with him!” 
These were the words spoken by me and my husband of 13 years in Brad Watson’s counseling office. 

We had many problems but over time we both grew to almost hate one another.  Neither of us understood how to communicate.  He was always right and I was never wrong.  All of our problems were my fault and he was the cause of all our problems.  I couldn’t wait to go to counseling so Brad could see how wrong he was and how big of a jerk he really was….that was the plan.

Of course, the first few visits were nothing more than tattle tale sessions.  I didn’t think it could get any worse, but it did.  Neither of us wanted to give in and compromise.   Neither of us knew how.  I hated him more because he wouldn’t do what Brad told him to do.  And of course, his hatred for me grew as well.  But we did not give up.  We kept seeing Brad once a week and over time, with Brad’s advice, we understood that we weren’t going to change the other to our liking, but we had to accept our differences and focus on the positive things; which was not easy.  But by this time, both of us saw a glimmer of hope.  We did what Brad told us and eventually earned respect for one another and accepted each other for who God created us to be….man and woman; two very different creatures.

My husband and I both were under the misconception that a few sessions were all we needed and our marriage would either be healed or we would go our separate ways.  Little did we know that it was a long process.  After all, it took 13 years to grow to hate one another; it was going to take more than a few hours to deliver a miracle.  We needed a miracle but it wasn’t going to be overnight.
Counseling is a difficult road but worth it.

Thank you, Brad.

Testimony 3

It has been a joy to know Brad Watson for over fifteen years.  He has preached in churches where I have pastored, led couples’ retreats, marriage enrichment seminars, and we worked together in children’s camps.
I have also had the opportunity to watch Brad passionately pursue God’s call upon his life in counseling ministries.  He has a desire to see people walk in Biblical freedom and to experience everything that God has designed for them.
Brad is both a consistent learner and teacher of God’s Word.  That truth is evidenced in his presentation of Biblical principles which are accurate and practical.  He has a pastoral heart and a shepherd’s mentality.  He can lead, encourage and help those who are genuinely seeking Biblical counsel.
If you have the opportunity to meet Brad, seek his counsel or walk along side him in ministry, you will be blessed.  You will find he is a man of God that:

• Has a Kingdom view
• Stands on Biblical Truth
• Loves to point people to freedom
• Is solution oriented

My life has been enriched because of my relationship with Brad.  I pray you will have both that opportunity and experience.
