1 Timothy 2:12-14 "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first [a]created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, [b]fell into transgression"

Titus 2:3-5 "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may [a]encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored"

Chris Minott (the director) is a false teacher This place promotes a false gospel. The true gospel is a proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only. Jesus is the son of God, God-man and 2nd person in the Trinity.
It is simply impossible to not violate God's given roles for women and men as defined by Christ when you have women counseling men using scripture. Why? This is because in these counseling sessions teaching with scripture is involved. God is clear in His word that women are not called to teach men and women can teach other women .

A woman can't teach a man how to be a husband nor how to be a man based off scripture(Titus 2:2,6-8) yet the Director of this center(a woman) ignores God's divine order and attempts to do this by counseling men . It is simply wrong and an attack on His word.

Some will say, well she is just counseling. The issue however is what happens during these counseling sessions and what God says about it in His word. She attempts to teach and exposit scripture to men and that is not her role. How does a woman do this without violating scripture by putting herself in a position of authority and is not an elder(Elders are qualified men)?-1 Timothy 2:12-14, 1 Timothy 5:17. Nowhere in the Bible does it teach a woman can be under the authority of a church, pastor, her husband etc to teach other men either. She is still in a place of authority over men in the church which, again, contradicts what Paul clearly teaches in 1 Tim. 2:12-14.

The biggest issue is this place promotes a false gospel.

The should be changed from Hope Biblical Counseling Center to Hopeless Feminists Unbiblical Counseling Center. Having a woman giving counseling sessions to marriage couples, and teaching the World of God is like having a woman teaching a husband how to be a man! It is a direct violation of 1 Tim 2:11-14. Chris Minott and her fellow counselors need to be silenced and this falsehood needs to be shut down! Chris Minott has no business giving counsel to men nor counseling marriage couples. That is a role for the local church.

Stay FAR away from this Joke of a Facility First of all they are not licenced by the Florida Health Department they are want to be therapists/counselors that practice NON Mainstream therapy maybe this is why one of the things they do not Practice there is Ethics! i am a concern Citizen and Relative a Child that is currently receiving counseling there by Chris Minott (check her last name on the Florida department of health's website....Nothing Comes up she is not licenced) she felt it was okay to Send a Detailed Letter to the child's Case Manager and tell her Specifically what the child ALLEGEDLY told her no matter if she is licenced or not the law states the Privilege of Privacy is held by the Child (patient) She did NOT have his Consent to Divulge what he allegedly told her in private! she has alienated him from his entire family implants in his head how bad and mean his entire family is the therapy she is preforming is supped to be an evidence based therapy yet she has not contacted anyone of his family members for any input or insight into the situation. the bible does not state HATE yet that is all this woman is installing in this child's head about his family that he should hate his family and should want to have anything to do with them. Stay Far away from this facility as its FAR from Biblical and the day Chris Minott has to sand in front of God to account for her sins and wrong doings hope he has NO mercy regarding what she is doing to this child Mentally Abusing him!
