Welcome to Christian Concepts, a home for inquisitive people who want to change the world by learning and understanding their identity.
I’m Matt Pavlik. I write books that help you apply God’s truth to your life and I provide Christian talk-therapy at my Christian counseling private practice, New Reflections Counseling, in Dayton, Ohio.
When you think Christian Concepts, think ideas and insights that help you understand yourself, God, and creation based on the foundational truths of the Bible. I publish books that help Christians reach their potential using Christian Concepts as the publishing imprint.
What You’ll Find Here
Here are my top core beliefs about identity:
- God knew who you were before you were conceived, therefore, you’re not a random occurring life-form. You’re an intentional work of art.
- You can’t be anything you want to be, but you can be more of exactly who God made you to be.
- You can have true freedom and fulfillment only when accept and grow in your God-given identity.
I also write about marriage. Marriage is more successful when husband and wife understand and appreciate who they are as individuals. Then they’ll be better equipped to become a team of two.
