Across the country, young people are wrestling with deep emotional and spiritual pain. Barna research continues to confirm what many pastors already know: Gen Z is in crisis. Rates of anxiety, depression, loneliness and questions around identity are rising. And while many long for healing and wholeness, they often don’t know where to begin—or where to turn.

In Fort Worth, Texas, Christ Chapel Bible Church is quietly answering that call through a ministry called Soul Care. Led by Pastor Greg Cook, Soul Care is a counseling ministry rooted in both professional wisdom and pastoral compassion.

Cook is uniquely positioned to lead this kind of ministry. With a background in both pastoral leadership and professional counseling, he’s developed a lexicon that gives language to pain while offering a pathway toward spiritual renewal.

“Counseling is about change,” he says. “That begs the question, what needs to change and how will that change take place?”

Soul Care offers one-on-one counseling sessions staffed by trained lay leaders who are equipped to engage with emotional, relational and spiritual wounds.
