Recently received from counselees:

When I was broken (40 yrs ago) from a pending divorce situation, the Lord brought Ron and Judy into my path. Counseling/discipleship began. Ron and Judy’s testimonies showed how they were redeemed which gave me HOPE to carry on. They helped me find strength in the ONE who never changes; “JESUS is the same yesterday, today, and forever”! (Heb. 13:7-8)
“My husband and I contacted Dr. Tardif when a family member need support after losing a spouse. We have been extremely grateful for his help as we live several states away. Dr. Tardif was available at critical and non-critical times of need with clear and consistent communication. Dr. Tardif has wealth of experience and helped us find resources that our family had difficulty locating in rural Maine. I have always felt heard and never felt judged by his council. I truly believe Dr. Tardif has an excellent moral and spiritual compass to lead his community. My family is forever grateful to the support and guidance he and the church has provided our family”

“Dr. Ron Tardif
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help (about time). You made every thing clear to us. We know what to do now and you are with us every time we begin to loose patience with each other. It’s all up to us now. I still lose my temper once and awhile but am able to control it before it gets out of hand. My wife is doing better also about pressuring me. It is very hard for her as she is in constant pain. Anyway, we are doing much better with the help of you and God.”

“Dear Pastor Tardif,
How thankful we are to have met you. It was a great experience in using God’s Word to give clear and helpful direction. Quite amazing and refreshing. We discussed the insights and counsel and approached our adult daughter with our apology. We all sensed a great relief as my husband and I let go of our need to try to control the situation. We have chosen to trust God and His promise and receive His comfort and peace. Prov. 22:6; with Joshua 24:15; with Ephesians 6:4. Thank you.”

“Upon learning about my struggle with looking at inappropriate images on the computer, my wife was very hurt. We needed counseling. The counseling that we received was timely, effective, and thorough. The focus on scripture and priorities was cleansing and healing. Dr. Ron Tardif doesn’t mince words, and gets right at the heart of the matter. His objective, although very thorough, is in no way to keep you going to counseling, but to assist you in your walk with God, and complete the counseling. I have already recommended biblical counseling with Dr. Ron Tardif to others and will continue. Through the forgiveness of God and my wife, I have been restored. Praise God!”

“I have had the privalege to be counseling by Dr. Tardif. My struggle was a common struggle among men dealing with internet pornography. Due to location we had to do phone couseling. Dr. Tardif found time on the phone each week for counseling over the phone. He was very flexable with his time and was more than willing to stop what he was doing and whole-heartily devote time to speak with me whenever I called. Dr Tardif does not just deal with the sin, but goes to the root of the problem. He knows that dealing with symptoms is just a short term fix, but you must deal with the heart and work towards a heart change. His couseling is Bible-based, encouraging and attacks the problem without attacking the person. If you are looking for a counseler to tell you want you want to hear, I would not recommend Dr.Tardif, but if you want to get a real heart change that is Bible-based then you won’t find much better.”

“Dear Pastor Ron,
We are sincerely grateful for the time you took to counsel us. The book “Strengthening You Marriage” helped us in guiding and directing our walk dayly in our responsibilities towards one another and Yahweh. It takes a humble and willing spirit to walk in the written instructions God gives us. May He be esteemed in our covenant with Him and in our marriages in Christ. God bless you and thank you for your time and service. We are still a work in progress, but with Him, we can do all things. Shalom.”
