I hesitate to imagine what my life would be like without the ministry of Dr. Joe Davis, Licensed Counselor of the Center for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship. For over eight years, I have struggled with the effects of infertility. It has been a lonely battle; other than a friend who lives across the state, I had no one in my life to help me cope with my many emotions.

I was saved twenty-six years ago, and I have had a glorious journey with the Lord. My parents instilled within me a love for Jesus, and I have been blessed with many opportunities to serve Him through youth and music ministry. I am a member of a strong Baptist church, and I have studied and taught God’s Word for over ten years. 

In spite of these aspects of my spiritual life, I found myself desperate for the ministry of Dr. Davis. Infertility had finally taken its toll, and I was being defeated in all areas of my life by this complex and often misunderstood condition. I was allowing every facet of my existence to be destroyed by the past pregnancy losses my husband and I had experienced.

For some time, I struggled with seeing Dr. Davis because I felt he could not relate to my issue, since he was not a woman who had personally experienced infertility. Finally, in desperation, I began visiting the Center for Biblical Counseling and Discipleship.

There are no words to adequately express how this ministry has affected my life. Apart from the spiritual impact of my Godly parents, I can honestly say, the greatest influence in my Christian life has been the ministry of Dr. Joe Davis and his wife, Gail.

Upon my first visit to The Center, Dr. and Mrs. Davis greeted me with compassion and then began referring to God’s Word for my much needed healing. I appreciate their willingness to allow the Holy Spirit to expose my sinfulness and “stinking thinking.” Instead of just soothing my emotions, they would used the Word of God to reveal the defeat I was allowing Satan to place upon my life.

In each session, I learned principles of God that I had never been taught: aspects of His character and the certainty of His sovereignty. The Scriptures also began to reveal to me many untrue ideals I had accepted over the years. Dr. and Mrs. Davis used the Bible to show me how I had wrongly accepted several of the unscriptural ideologies I had been taught over the years. My heart began to be healed, and with excitement, I was able to discover more of Him and His plan for my life.

Today, I can barely think of Dr. and Mrs. Davis, mention or hear their names that I’m not overcome with gratitude. I love them both dearly and credit their ministry with restoring my life. I praise God for bringing The Center to our community. I know at anytime, with any problem or question, their ministry is available for me.
