"Shortly after getting engaged we sought the counsel of Matt and Becca Cowan. It was our desire to enter into marriage with as much grounding and maturity in our faith as possible.
We needed faithful people in our lives who would ask us purpose filled questions, keep us accountable, navigate us through God’s Word and facilitate conversations that produced great spiritual fruit. That was the result from our sessions with Matt and Becca.
Not only did they help us develop a greater level of confidence in our upcoming marriage but they helped us see new ways to serve and trust in our Heavenly Father.
The things we were able to take away from our time with Matt and Becca have truly allowed our first year of marriage to be more than we ever deserved, all to the Glory of God!
Anyone who desires to grow spiritual would do well to seek out the counseling services of Matt and Becca Cowan."

"I have experienced deep growth through my time with Pastor Matt Cowan. God has gifted him with wisdom and insight into deep matters of the soul. His consistent pointing to Christ and hope in the gospel has helped refresh my soul and enabled me to find hope when I thought there was none.
Pastor Matt doesn’t desire to keep clients dependent upon him but that they learn to abide and live as disciples who are more than conquerors through Christ."

My time with Matt was life changing! At the time that I first met Matt, I had so many things that was doing that it felt like I was constantly drowning barely able to get a sip of air over the surface, if any at all.
I sought counsel from Matt after he led me and other youth leaders at our church in a time of refreshment and reflection. I realized through his house of priorities method that I had my priorities all out of wack, he quickly read me like a book and I was ready to start making changes.
We quickly made a plan to prioritize what was most important, and a practical plan of how to do it all and all to the glory of God. All the while, my relationship to the Lord deepened and grew as we dug deep into many sin struggles and next steps in life. I finally hit my deadlines, and got through the mountain that was before me and I always say that it wouldn’t have been possible without Matt’s work with me. Praise God for Lighthouse Counseling!

Working with Matt as my counselor has been one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences. God clearly has been at work and with Matt’s steady, thoughtful guidance, I’ve been led to engage with Scripture in a much deeper way. Matt has helped me connect the truths of God’s Word to the patterns in my story, which has brought clarity.
Instead of just moving on or ignoring what’s behind me, I’ve learned how to bring it before God, see it in light of His truth, and begin to walk in freedom with a clearer understanding of who I am in Christ. Matt doesn’t give surface-level answers—he continually points me back to God’s Word and helps me wrestle through things honestly, prayerfully, and with purpose. This hasn’t been easy work, but it has been good. I’m walking away with more clarity, peace, and confidence—not just in myself, but in who God is and who He’s shaping me to be. I’m deeply thankful for this process and for Matt’s role in it.
