Clinically Sound Resources Grounded in Scripture
For counselors whose clients ask for it: lessons and trackers that teach from the Bible without softening the clinical content. Anger, worry, addiction, identity, relationships and the long road of character.
What’s inside
104 Resources, Included in All-Access
Seven areas. Addiction and compulsive habits; anger, emotions and self-control; anxiety, worry and fear; faith and character, the largest set, with a Developing series on contentment, humility, integrity and more; relationships and communication; self-worth and identity; and thoughts and mindset.

Anxiety, Worry, and Fear
Faith and Character
Relationships and Communication
Self-Worth and Identity
Thoughts and Mindset
On paper too
Every Resource Prints Clean
These materials lived in binders and file folders for years before they lived on a screen, and some clients still do their best thinking with a pencil. Every resource prints as a clean worksheet with the same content and the same self-check, for group rooms, waiting rooms, and the client who prefers paper. Assign the link or hand out the page. Same resource, either way.
In the session
Clinically Sound, Scripturally Grounded
Pastoral counselors and Christian therapists assign these the same way as any other resource. The client reads, reflects on the Scripture and the clinical content together, and scores themselves. Several trackers follow spiritual practices, prayer life and drift over a week.
From Scripture Outward
Written separately for counselors whose clients ask for it, not a secular lesson with verses added.
Same Clinical Quality
Anger, worry, addiction, identity and relationships, with the same evidence base as the rest of Compass.
The Developing Series
Contentment, humility, integrity, forgiveness and more: a Christ-centered path for each, one lesson at a time.
Mix as You See Fit
Assign a faith-based lesson and a secular tracker to the same client. Any resource, any section.
How it works
The Plan Says Where Treatment Is Going. The Resources Get It There.
Three steps, and nothing for the client to set up.
1Step 1
Add the Concern to the Plan
Choose from the same 71 concerns the treatment planner uses. The matched resources appear with it.
2Step 2
Send the Link
The client opens it on any device. No account, no app. They read, answer, and score themselves in a few minutes.
3Step 3
Open the Next Session with What Actually Happened
The self-score and the client’s own answers come back with them. Something real to engage with between sessions. Not paperwork.
From the clinical author
The 167 Hours in Between
In my years of clinical practice, I have never lost a client during the therapy session. I have lost them in the 167 hours in between, when anxiety begins to rise, support fades into the background, and there is little in that moment to help them remain grounded and stay on track.
The people I worked with were not lacking desire or insight. In many cases they knew exactly what they needed to do. They wanted to get better, and I wanted to help, but too often progress would drift, slip back, or simply not last. I came to call this the Drift Effect, and I have written a whole book about it. It happens to clients. It happens to treatment plans too. A counselor builds a careful plan at intake, and by session six it is a document in a file rather than a map anyone is following.
Later, when we developed an intensive outpatient program, something became clear. When clients had structure, support, and skill-building throughout the week, not just once a week, their outcomes improved dramatically. That is what led me to write the Journey to Recovery library in the first place, and it is why Compass exists. The treatment plan tells treatment where to go. These resources are how it gets there. Each of the 71 concerns is mapped to goals, objectives, and interventions, and the same 71 concerns carry over to the client side, each resource ending in a self-check that gives the client a personal summary to bring back.
None of this replaces the counselor. It extends your presence into the hours when clients are most vulnerable, and it keeps the plan active in daily life instead of waiting for the next appointment.

Your Privacy and Your Client’s Privacy Are Protected by Design
Compass does not ask for and does not accept client identifying information. Nothing you enter is retained after your session ends.
Plans Without Identifiers
You build the plan from the concern, the goals, and the interventions. Names and record numbers never enter it.
Your Chart, Your Side
Export the finished plan as a PDF and upload it to your EHR or wherever you keep the record. What goes into the chart, and when, stays your decision.
One Link for the Client
Clients open a link on a phone with nothing to set up. Their answers go only where they choose to send them.
Compass supports audit readiness. Your own compliance review still applies.
Straight answers
Questions Counselors Ask
Are These the Same as the Secular Resources with Verses Added?
No. Dr. Baumchen wrote them separately, from Scripture outward. The clinical content is the same quality; the framing is different by design.
Can I Mix Faith-Based and Secular Resources for One Client?
Yes. Assign from any section. Many counselors use the faith-based lesson for the client who asked for it and the secular tracker for the week.
Are These Assessments Diagnostic?
No. Self-reflection only.
Who Wrote Them?
Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, with references on every page.
