"After my husband of 8 years confessed to having multiple affairs during our marriage I was torn in pieces and didn't know what to do or where to go. My preacher recommended RLCC and they helped us save our marriage. Lee was amazing and very helpful in our time of need. He knew exactly what to say and where to point us in the right direction of moving past the affairs. My marriage is now stronger and better based in Christ. My husband even opened up more than I have ever gotten him to. There is hope and RLCC is hope and healing!" -T.G.
"I don’t think I’d be here today without your counseling. Real Life Christian Counseling really saved me. I was very low & hurt & now I understand that with the the Lord I can do anything. I’m forever grateful. I still have low moments but I'm pretty sure everyone does. I couldn't be happier. I have the joy of the Lord!!" -Hope
"Going to Real Life Christian counseling has been one of the best decisions I have made so far. Lee has the ability to listen and help guide you in way that is truly comforting and supportive. I have been going to Real Life Christian Counseling for a little over a year now and it has helped guide me through some of the worst times in my life so far. Lee has played a vital role in shaping me into the man I am today. He gives real practical advice but also has the ability to listen and help you process through the confusion that is found in what life throws at you. I overwhelmingly recommend going to see Lee, at Real Life Christian Counseling." -JT
"I was not entirely sure why God wanted me to move to Lubbock. I thought it was for my job, but God was calling me to wholeness. For 12 years, I was tormented by emotionally, physically, and mentally devastating sexual assaults. The pain we suffer in this life is real, and like most people, I did not know how to process my pain. God led to someone who did. I have found healing and restoration in my time with Lee. He has truly not only helped me processed what happen but he has also helped me move on from it looking forward to the future with hope. Lee is a shepherd that cares deeply for the people of God and the condition of their heart. He knows how to get to the root of the issue and unpack it in a way that both enlightens and frees. Wholeness is journey. During my time with Real Life Christian Counseling, I have learned so much about myself and started down the path to wholeness. I pray you will start your journey too." -T
"I started going to RLCC for help in healing from the wounds inflicted by my husband’s addiction to pornography. I had suffered alone for two years and knew it was time to get help. Lee has been a wonderful counselor, friend, cheerleader, and believer in my husband and I. We have seen him together and separately for over a year now. Lee has helped us identify the roots of our problems and emotions and directed us back to Jesus Christ every time. For me, Lee has helped me reclaim my identity in Jesus Christ. I placed a lot of identity in trying to compete with my husband’s porn, and placed my worth in whether he watched something or not. I am now on a journey of knowing my identity is solely dependent on Jesus Christ and not the actions of my husband. Lee has taught me to release control and fully surrender to the work God is trying to do in me. That has brought me freedom. Both my husband and I have learned that, “no life manifests more beauty than the one who is broken.” (Watchman Nee) We thank God for our brokenness, knowing and trusting that God WILL deliver us and bring beauty out of the brokenness. Through counseling, both my husband and I have grown closer to the Father, experienced the power of the Gospel, and grown closer together in our marriage...and we’ve gained a good friend! Thank you Lee for speaking the truth of the Gospel to us, and walking with us." -D&K
"I was turned away from other counselors (for financial reasons). RLCC welcomed me with open arms. I met Lee in a time in my life where I knew if I didn't get help I would not only lose my marriage, but I would also ruin the rest of my life if I kept going the way I was. Growing up I always knew I had an anger problem, but as an adult it became out of control. Lee helped me to see that not only could I control my anger and my actions, but that I could actually come to understand myself better. Lee helped me to understand what made me think the way I did and how to understand myself in such a way that it opened my eyes to the person I could become and always wanted to be. My counseling sessions revolutionized the way I think and see myself. I became a brand new person (this is what my husband says). Thank you Lee and RLCC for making such an impact in my life and those around me. God knew what He was doing when He sent me your way." - Leticia
"I was struggling with making decisions, feeling heard by God, and just going through a rough time. Seeing Lee, I found overall the root of these problems had more to do with lacking trust in God and over-spiritualizing my choices to align with what I hope is God's plan. I came away with more confidence in my reasoning and finding peace in making hard decisions when I don't feel clear direction. I appreciate Lee's guidance and assurance, and releasing me when I was ready." -Teagan
"Lee’s counsel met me right where I was. I was going through the most painful period of my life. Loss of family, loss of business, and a failed marriage of 38 years. It was a devastating time. The encouragement, insight, and shared reading material was very helpful in moving me forward from this dark time. Not only was the ministry helpful to me, but also to some of my family whom I referred to Real Life Christian Counseling." - Glenn
"When our son was 14, he became angry and withdrawn, and we, his parents, were unable to get through to him. He began seeing Lee...and the impact on our son, and our whole family, has been immeasurably positive. Our son is no longer angry all the time, and he his learning to handle the challenges that life brings in healthy ways. Our family relationships are stronger and closer than ever." -B & S
"I have seen several counselors throughout my life, but have found Lee's approach to offer restoration and healing from lifelong hurts. It has enabled me to deal with issues and concerns in a healthy and positive manner. I visualize myself through God’s tender and loving mercy." -Melanie
"For the first time, Real Life Christian Counseling helped me understand who truly I am... I walked in hopeful, yet somewhat unsure...and walked out, every time, feeling accomplished and empowered. No matter if I was having a good day or a really bad day, Lee always went out of his way to make sure I was stable and was doing alright. A counselor like that isn't common. He went beyond his "job" to extend the love of Christ. And it was because of that unique relationship that brought me healing. That helped me see my true identity- why I was made and how my mind/will/emotions function... Because of Lee's humble, servant heart, I have overcome so much, and I don't have any shame going back for more guidance...afterall, we all need it sometimes. We're called to be in community and utilize the resources God gives us, so seize the moment and become all you can be in Christ. And just one step at a time you will begin to live a life of forgiveness, love, joy, and peace." -Mariah
"Real Life Christian counseling is such a gift to me. I was dealing with depression, anxiety and fear and during counseling with Lee was met with love, compassion, and correct teaching about the redeemed person I am because of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. I was dealing with damaging, negative thinking that was really making some aspects of everyday life hard to handle. Understanding my new identity in Christ (God’s gift to me, that didn’t depend at all on my effort or ‘correct thinking’), and being given practical advice in how to approach this negative thinking put me in a state in which I was able to relax and enjoy life much more. At the same time in my life I was having counseling sessions with Lee, I was dating the man who is now my husband, and he and I benefited later from doing premarital counseling sessions with Real Life Christian counseling. This was so appreciated and really helped us to prepare for the journey of marriage. I donate to Real Life Christian counseling because I know there are more out there like me, and I want others to benefit from correct gospel focused counseling like I have benefited!" -Marie
"I highly recommend visiting with my friend Lee Higginbotham... I credit him for saving my marriage... He helped me in a desperate time and got me back to the person I know I should be. Lee has a no nonsense approach to life and faith and he really knows how to ask the right questions to help you sort out whatever it is you are going through." -Aaron
"I found the bible based personal applications most effective in my sessions. The accountability and truthfulness in the way the information was presented was also very helpful." -Roger
"I met Lee when I was having difficulty moving forward. I was stuck (having been grieving for my husband, and needing to be in Lubbock to care for my elderly mom) in some despair and a lot of fear. Lee helped me by immediately challenging me to stop looking at my circumstances with despair and what was in the future with fear. God is gracious, and He used Lee to help me remember how wonderfully God loves us, is passionate about us and watches over us with love and grace. Thank God for divine wisdom and knowledge Lee so willingly shared." -Brenda
"I felt very confrontable talking to Mr. Higginbotham. He knew the word of the Lord. He was able to share with me his take on what I should be doing." -Donna
"The name of this ministry says it all. It’s real and it’s about life. And it’s Christian, and the type of counsel God’s word says we should seek, have, and share... The environment at Real Life Christian Counseling itself created the ability to let down the guards of fear and what was causing the deficiency of trust in my life. I realized what had diminished all the love, trust, and triumph that had been in my life before...I want everyone to know how thankful I am." -Debra
"I remember the day that I walked into Real Life Christian Counseling, full of fear and defeat. "Be still and know" and "the Truth shall set you free" are truths that I've always known. Through dedication, determination and the grace of God, Lee was able to show me how to put these truths into motion! The world hasn't changed a lot since then but I have! What a friend I have in Jesus!" -Karen
"I've been able to have deeper relationships with my husband, my daughter, my family and friends. Most importantly I've reestablished my relationship with God and have continued to have a daily relationship with Him...I know that God intervened the day I searched for a counselor and led me to Lee. I thank God for that everyday. I know that I found out who I was in Christ because of my counseling and that is a huge blessing..." -Zak
"I was a complete wreck... I had been to see 3 different psychiatrists, a psychologist, a counselor, and a therapist and had been on antidepressants for over three years. I had attempted suicide 5 times... Something had to change, though... In what I now know was an act of God I was led to Real Life Christian Counseling. It made a tremendous difference..." -Naomi
"Lee is an awesome counselor and a man of God. He helped me through the toughest experience of my life. He taught me to have confidence and dignity, not shame and guilt." -Mike
"I’d always had some sort of stigma against going to see a counselor, I guess, but I knew I needed some help working through everything–and I felt good about doing that in a Christian environment....Going to Real Life Christian Counseling helped me grow personally and brought me back to a close relationship with God. I don’t know how to describe my experience exactly except to say that I have a lot more peace than I did before..." -Nicole
"A few years ago I had come to a place in my life where I really needed someone to talk to. After a series of difficulties, I had exhausted many efforts to feeling better. These included medication, natural remedies and even acupuncture. I was in a desperate situation and needed to feel better. I reached out to a pastor where I occasionally attend church and asked if he would be able to recommend someone and he recommended Lee. I remember at first how doubtful I was that I would ever feel better again since I had been suffering from severe depression for several months without any relief. It was affecting every area of my life. I travel a lot and was unable to do regular sessions. However, after the first visit Lee helped me to finally see a glimpse of hope. I immediately noticed how patient he was and not surprised at how I was feeling. That gave me a sense of confidence and peace that I hadn’t felt in awhile...Looking back I can now see how far I’ve come since my first appointment with Lee. Even though I felt great after each session my old thought patterns resumed almost immediately after each session and no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t realize that I would have to endure another 3 years of suffering. I appreciate that Lee did not promise immediate results and thankful for his patience with me! I believe in my heart that God used Lee to help me realize His unconditional love for me and to help me develop a new way of thinking and that healing isn’t always immediate. I still struggle with depression at times but it is no longer something I live with all the time. Thank you Lee for being patient with me and helping me see God’s immense love for me exactly the way I am." -Abe
"I believe that the Lord directed me to contact Real Life Christian Counseling without knowing any person there or even knowing anything about them. Through the coaching I received from Lee I was able to connect with God in ways that I had never experienced in all of my years in ministry...I highly recommend Lee at Real Life Christian Counseling to anyone. He is a man of God and God is certainly using him in this incredible ministry..." -Ray
"Through Real Life Christian Counseling my mind has begun to be renewed. Lee has helped me to see who I truly am as a child of God. Counseling not only helped me to "fix" my problems, but it has given me the tools to continue forward in pursuing righteousness. Without Lee I am afraid to even think about where I would be today. I thank God everyday for putting such a wonderful counselor in my life..." -Kevin
"Finding Christian counseling was very important to me and it took a leap of faith for me to make that first phone call. Receiving Biblical solutions to my problems was what I was seeking and that is what Lee provided..." -George
"For years I had struggled mightily with anger. Gradual build-up, then a blow-up, then guilt and beat myself up inside...and repeat...for 30 plus years...hurting myself, my friends, and my family with my anger. Lee helped me see what the Bible has to say about the freedom I have in Christ. Freedom to try and fail, and get back up and try again...
Freedom from judging myself and others harshly...
Freedom to pursue Christ without any fear...
Freedom." -Steve
"We had a great experience and learned a lot of practical, easily applicable information and felt that all of the advice we received was biblical and trustworthy. You are much appreciated..." -Billy
"You could feel the compassion and care during the counseling sessions. It wasn't a hurry up and leave and get the next person in counseling..." -Blake
"Get the word out about how much counseling actually helps and that we may all need it. It's okay to reach out and ask for help..." -Josh
