It has been a joy to know Brad Watson for over fifteen years. He has preached in churches where I have pastored, led couples’ retreats, marriage enrichment seminars, and we worked together in children’s camps. I have also had the opportunity to watch Brad passionately pursue God’s call upon his life in counseling ministries. He has a desire to see people walk in Biblical freedom and to experience everything that God has designed for them. Brad is both a consistent learner and teacher of God’s Word. That truth is evidenced in his presentation of Biblical principles which are accurate and practical. He has a pastoral heart and a shepherd’s mentality. He can lead, encourage and help those who are genuinely seeking Biblical counsel.If you have the opportunity to meet Brad, seek his counsel or walk along side him in ministry, you will be blessed. You will find he is a man of God that:
- Has a Kingdom view
- Stands on Biblical Truth
- Loves to point people to freedom
- Is solution oriented
My life has been enriched because of my relationship with Brad. I pray you will have both that opportunity and experience.
Neal Thornburgh The Church at West Mountain Gilmer, TX
As a local church pastor, opportunities for counseling are abundant. The time for deeper counsel and the skills necessary for such are often not so abundant. Having a trusted person to refer people to seek out for deeper help is essential in ministry. Directed Path Ministries is a ministry that I have full confidence and trust in to refer people to seek. Brad is a man whose passion and principles are founded in Jesus Christ and the precepts that guide the counsel he shares with those in need are rooted in God’s timeless and true Word. I’m grateful for Brad’s friendship and for the valuable ministry of Directed Path.
Craig Jenkins Lead Pastor, Beech Street First Baptist Church Texarkana, AR
Two of the most difficult and demanding issues every pastor must deal with are who they use to fill their pulpit in their absence and who to refer individuals to for solid Christian counseling. It is with confidence that I recommend all pastors to consider using Bro. Brad for either of these pastoral responsibilities. Bro. Brad has a proven track record in his preaching and counseling experience.
