Grace Adventure is distinctly different from traditional counseling, but is complementary to it. The distinctives of Grace Adventure versus counseling are: -- the opportunity to work in a group setting -- to engage in focused self-discovery without the time limitations of the counseling setting -- to give full attention to personal issues without the distraction of daily living

Pastors, counselors, and therapists often refer their clients to Grace Adventure. Many times the training greatly shortens the time needed for counseling to achieve its desired goals. Frequently individuals will be more open to speaking with a counselor and resolving further issues after having been through the training.
