Courage: The Honeymoon is Over. The Marriage Begins
take control of
YOUR LIFE.
​
We are glad you came to our website. It means that “normal living” is getting too painful, too expensive, and too fearful.
​
We believe this “thorn in the flesh” is not from evil forces in your life, but God trying to get your attention to offer you healing and liberty up until now never imagined.
The reason people resist life coaching/counseling is we spent a lifetime putting a lid on things. So why should we take the lid off? We end up saying to ourselves: “I can cope. Normal is OK. I can trust my known demons why risk some unknown angels?”
​
But the Bible says our “normal” is God’s hell.
​
We shall pray God’s grace on you to call us today to set up a first step to individual, marriage, and family healing.

START LIVING.
Divorce before Marriage! "Divorce" is a frightening word and destroys the honeymoon mentality that you carried into marriage. But now the "D" word is in your thoughts and your partners.
But this does not have to mean you are a failure or your marriage is a failure because in our experiences, it is often the beginning of a good marriage where conflict is allowed and differences are finally celebrated. In the honeymoon there is innocence without awareness.
In the second stage of what we call "the honey, I am pregnant" stage there is awareness without innocence, but in the final stage where marriages become a matter of delight, what we call the Land of Milk and Honey, there is both innocence and awareness.
But the innocence in the third stage is not a lack of awareness of the other, but the awareness of a person once guilty who has now been made innocent of their crimes.
No one who has experienced marriage the way God designed marriage will ever want to leave it.

DISCOVER
Your Greatest Self.
Our purpose is to train, counsel, and coach people to live victoriously in a dangerous world.
People who come to us fall into two categories:
-
Some don't realize it is a dangerous world, and they are not equipped to do battle in it. This leads to depression, anxiety, and fear.
-
Others realize it is a dangerous world, but don't know how to live victoriously in it. They keep coming back to the same results in their life, but never find a new place of peace, freedom, and joy. This leads to a lack of energy and sense of alienation from life.
We begin at a place many therapies try to end up. We start with the foundation of who you are, who you are as God loves you and also as God knows you.
You are an oak tree, not an acorn. You are a swan not an ugly duckling. You are a black sheep in a dysfunctional family, which means your sanity is threatening to everyone around you!
​
That rut you find yourself in might be as comfortable and familiar as your mother's womb, but it is time to leave, to depart, to experience your own exodus.
We'll show you how to live with joy in the wilderness so that the Promise Maker will live in you to create the Promised Land right where you stand.
So take off your shoes. Walk victoriously.

YOUR LIFE.

My family has completely changed since working with Dr. Barr. We had no idea when we contacted him for marriage counseling that he would not only heal our marriage but also heal each of us as individuals. He taught us that our idea of "normal" was nothing compared to what God desires for us. We've recommended him to others that have reported the same results after working with him! We are so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him!

Dr. Rick Barr is not the typical...
​
Dr. Rick Barr is not the typical counselor. His tool is the Bible. His weapon for each of our problems is scripture. For our understanding, he uses perfect real-life examples. If you are hurting or confused, spiritually or non-spiritually, you need to see Dr Barr. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, he will lay down the truth that you need to replace your negative thinking. I left his office with a "Wow"....You will too.

Excellent Counsel
​
Dr. Barr is creative and challenging. He absolutely changed our family dynamic. He empowered each member of my family and helped make a broken house a home. He makes no apologies; he counsels and coaches through the power of Christ. Dr. Barr is excellent and has found his calling. He believes the leader of the family must be the father. If you are looking for a smile, pat on the back and a "just keep trying and you will get there" counselor, Rick is not your man. If you want to seriously face your challenges, look in the mirror, dig deep and be changed forever. He may be the only man! He is Dr. Rick Barr, once a stranger to me, now I am proud to call him my coach, counselor, brother and friend. Call him, he is worth every dime.
