The gospel is about a person who is alive and well today. Jesus Christ was resurrected from death and is presently at God the Father’s right hand in heaven.

Couples relationships are all about needs. Needs for love, affection, sex, help with the kids, encouragement, listening etc. Needs not met, half met or never met at all lead to all kinds of dilemmas. One of the reasons we marry is because we admire something in the other person that we miss in ourselves. We feel loved and cared for and hope it will stay that way. Read more...

ERICH SCHOEMAN
Chief Executive OfficerBeing a Clinical Psychologist and a Christian has been a long learning curve. Sometimes a confusing and conflicting experience. During my process of working through the maze of psychology and trying to fit a Biblical basis for understanding and helping people, I found a passion and maybe even a gift of transferring what I’ve learned.
My private practice led to an experience of being limited in my impact, although one-on one consultations are powerful and effective, I wanted to reach a wider audience. I became aware of a need in communities to be empowered with the knowledge of psychology and life coaching. I want to share the ideas and knowledge I have gained with others who could benefit from it and might not be able to afford it. Consequently, Matters of the Soul started. My wife Elsie is a great life partner and walks with me through life’s ups and downs. Our two wonderful children, Amelia and Benjemin, keeps it real and exciting! The difficulties of living keeps me on my knees, where I am really at my best. My relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the spring from which all of this flow, truly where I find Life. JESSICA PIETERSE
I am an advocate for HOPE, a wife, sister, daughter, and friend. I am an ASCHP accredited Specialist Wellness Counsellor and am the owner and founder of “Selah Specialist Wellness Counselling”. I am working with Matters of The Soul as a Social Media Manager and Content Creator. I have a deeply rooted desire to see individuals and couples find healing, succeed and grow. I personally walked a road with breast cancer and had to deal with the trauma, stress, fear, uncertainty and anxieties that this diagnosis and treatment presents. During this journey I was forced “to pause”, and “to reflect”. In this space I had to learn “to praise”, and a lot of what was holding me back needed to find an “end”. A beautiful hope was birthed in my heart as I weighed in the balances! Because of this I strive to evoke hope in the hearts of those who feel hopeless, awaken purpose in the hearts of those who feel there is none, and my desire is to inspire others to step out and begin to truly live and thrive.
