What former clients say:
- "My experience with the Christian Career Center was absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself. It has truly led me down a path that I feel God designed for me. I love my new work and the company I am with. I cannot think of any other work that I would rather be doing. It is a refreshing feeling!"
- "For the first time in my life I was able to carefully and conscientiously match my God-given talents and skills with the type of work that I can truly be passionate about. It has changed my life to where I can eagerly awake each day to begin my new life's work."
- "I highly recommend it to everyone. I should have done this sooner than I did. I'm excited... God has given you the talents to bring this out in people through your testing, encouragement and suggestions. I felt that you sincerely cared that I found what I was looking for so that I could serve God and not just find another vocation."
- "It's really thorough. It's really unique. I don't think it's available anywhere else. It uses a lot of different tools to help a person really narrow down what is important to them in their life and what they would like to do within their life. The tools and stuff that are used are great. It's flexible to a person's needs and time, schedule, not rigid yet it is very structured and organized. I didn't ever feel lost. It works with people from all walks of life. It a really dynamic program. Well put together."
- "I now see that I'm not as limited in my choices as I'd previously assumed. It gave me new perspectives on going out and shooting for the purposes that God has planned for me. It's a freeing experience. I now have the confidence that I've done my homework [on career options]. Focusing on achieving the very best choices has me proactively moving toward the future, rather than feeling trapped.
- [The Brennflecks' approach to career counseling/coaching] "is structured to enable a person look inside themselves and see many aspects of their skills and interests, that otherwise, they may not fully be aware....[It] enables an individual to crystallize what is important in their life as it relates to their career. Most importantly, above all else, it develops career answers through a Christian perspective."

How former clients described their experience with career services:
Before:"I was working in a job I was miserable at...It was really meaningless. I would go to work and ask myself, Why am I doing this? I feel like I'm on a treadmill. There are just no rewards from this!" After:"Now I have a much clearer picture of my mission in life... the things I'm good at that I can put to use for the Lord...I got a vision for the fact that I could be doing something for my career that I really enjoy, rather than just going in and punching a time card."
Before: "The Lord put me here with a personal mission...but I had no idea what it was because I had no satisfaction in what I was doing." After: "Right now I'm doing exactly what I identified through the program that I'd be happy doing."
Before: "I knew I didn't like what I was doing, but I had no idea what direction to go...And I didn't know how to figure it out!" After: "I don't meet a lot of people who have my design. And...the program helped me realize that's exactly the way God designed it. He made us all unique. I'm feeling at peace with who I am and what I like to do...What an opportunity I would have missed if I hadn't completed the program." |
