MEET CAROLINE
NEWHEISER

My walk with the Lord started as a child but became more impactful while I was a student at Baylor University. I married my husband, Jim, in 1979, and we have been on an exciting walk with Lord ever since. He was a pastor for 30 years; 26 of those were in Escondido, California. After teaching our three sons at home, I began my counseling ministry. We moved to Charlotte in 2016 because my husband became the director of the Christian Counseling program at Reformed Theological Seminary where I earned a Master’s degree in 2018.

I ENJOY SEEING THE WORD OF GOD SHAPE LIVES FOR HIS GLORY.

SPEAKING TRUTH WITH GRACE TO THOSE WITH LOVE

When a friend is struggling and in need of biblical guidance, it can be difficult to find the balance between speaking truth and speaking with grace. Even the most well-intentioned efforts can come across as insensitive or inadequate.
