Words From church leaders


"Dane Tyner and I have been friends for over 30 years and fellow Christian counselors for over 20 years. It was an honor to participate in both Dane's ordination and his wedding to Kathy. We have spent time in each others homes, traveled together, and presented workshops together. I know Dane as a faithful husband and father, a serious student of Scripture, and a competent counselor. You will be blessed and encouraged both by his ministry of counseling and teaching."

Dr. Don Ott, Evangelist & Psychologist
CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGICAL RESOURCES


  “Having lost my wife of almost 28 years to cancer at age 49 has focused my heart on what really matters in this life – relationships, especially the relationship with your spouse and children. I am thankful my late wife and I had a very good marriage. We worked at it and it was worth all the effort! HIM is designed to help build stronger marriages. “Help” is not a bad word in marriage. It just might be the four-letter word your marriage needs. Dane Tyner can HELP. Seek help while you still have time. Your marriage was designed by God to be the closest relationship we can get to heaven this side of heaven. HIM can help your marriage be heavenly.”
Jim Miller, Minister, missionary, Campus Minister.


  "I'm very happy to recommend to you Dane Tyner and Home Improvement. My wife, Jan, and I have supported and encouraged his ministry for almost 10 years now. As a pastor I am constantly confronted with counseling issues. Many of these issues are either beyond my expertise or need more time than I have to give to them. I am ALWAYS comfortable about referring them to Home Improvement. In fact, Home Improvement is almost always the first one I turn to for referral. What a great support this ministry is to our local churches!”
Terry Bell,
Senior Pastor, Life Park Christian Fellowship, Tulsa


  "When people come to me for a referral for individual or couple counseling, I know they are seeking someone who has strong professional skills, but even more important to most is to get counseling from a wise, mature Christian. When I send someone to Home Improvement Ministry, I KNOW they will receive prayer and wise counsel. They will also be treated with a gentle touch that reflects God's love for them. What a blessing!"
Charlene Giles, M.A., L.M.F.T. Director of Care and Marriage, Asbury UMC, Tulsa, OK


  "With pleasure I commend to the Christian community my friend, Dane Tyner. I have known Dane since the 1970’s when he was a member of the Bellaire Christian Church where I served as minister. He became my associate, then my successor. Dane and his wife, Kathy, are a team. They bring a maturity to ministry that is the result of personal tragedies, faced and conquered through their faith in the Living Christ. For a number of years it was apparent to me that counseling was God’s call upon Dane’s life. It has been gratifying to see that call come to fruition. I am acquainted with couples and individuals who have been greatly helped in resolving life issues through their ministry. Dane is a man of high integrity, honesty, deep compassion, and gifted in helping hurting individuals experience healing, deliverance, and discovering God’s purpose for their lives."
James W. Garrett, Tulsa Christian Fellowship



  “I have known Dane's wife Kathy for a number of years. We worked together while serving at Christ In Youth. It was always a joy to work with her and to keep in touch with her over the years.
    A few years ago Kathy and Dane joined Highland Park Christian Church where I serve as one of the elders. Kathy and Dane have become an integral part of the the body of Highland Park by taking on leadership roles in our small group program, leading an adult bible class and teaching various leadership seminars. We are so thankful to have them in our fellowship.
    Dane's personal knowledge of the word of God and his professional training as a marriage counselor has been such an asset to the congregation. We have drawn on Dane's expertise and professional training to lead in special sessions on family relations, conflict resolution, mentoring and small group dynamics. His sessions are always well prepared, professionally presented and steeped in spiritual insight.
   It has also been my privilege to get to know Dane on a personal level over breakfast every few weeks. He has become an accountability partner, prayer partner and good friend. I have come to value his friendship and Godly influence in my personal life.
  I am happy to say that I have not had the need to call on Dane for his professional marriage counseling advice but I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who has that need. His knowledge of Godly life principles that he applies to his everyday life, and his professional expertise would make him highly qualified to help those struggling with the tough things life throws their way.”
Jerry Wade, Elder, Highland Park Christian Church, Tulsa, OK


  "Dane has helped our Celebrate Recovery ministry by providing training lessons based on biblical truths as they relate to recovery issues. He relates well to those that are recovering from lifes hurts, habits, and hangups, and his guidance has been both practical and inspirational. Dane is someone we can trust to partner with us and help strengthen our ministry."
Ron & Halee Wood, CR Minsitry leaders, Highland Park Christian Church, Tulsa, OK

  “When I considered getting counseling help, the largest and most memorable concern was opening up all the way with myself. Dane handled my situation with his experience and knowledge so well that I repeatedly still look back to our sessions to keep myself focused and in the know.
  “My suggestion to anyone considering counseling: Get help now. The faster you are able to admit things to yourself, the faster you can work on improving your quality of life.”
A Tulsa resident



   “Preparing to go to my first appointment, I knew I would cry as I expressed my hurt and confusion. I dreaded letting the tears and sobs come out in front of someone. After the things I’d stuffed all came out and it was all met with understanding, love, and Spirit-led guidance, my life became more ‘doable’
   “I had complete trust in Dane to understand and give me godly counsel. Each session he prayed for me. I praise the Lord for Dane and Mary’s ministries to other hurting people.
  As scary as it may be, don’t delay seeking godly counsel. Your spiritual and emotional health will affect your whole family, your friends, and your physical health”
A Tulsa resident

 

   “I was in a crisis situation when I sought help. After 33 years of marriage, my husband left me. I felt so abandoned and fell in a pit of despair. My faith in God and His work is what I held on to. My sessions with Dane helped stabilize me. He showed me how to clarify my goals, gave me a picture of God’s love, support, insight into relationship issues, and how to navigate through our conflict. Through Dane’s counsel, I got out of the pit of despair and my marriage was restored. Praise God!
   “At first I was apprehensive about seeking counsel because I had done that before and didn’t feel any better off. After a few sessions, I knew Dane had deep insight about relationship issues and God’s wisdom. He helped me ‘take courage’ when I was threatened by verbal attacks. The Lord is the defense of my life, whom shall I fear?
   “If you’re procrastinating, I say, Just do it! Push ahead of fear; don’t let fear push you! God is for you and HIM is your cheerleading team!”
A Tulsa resisdent


  “When I started counseling, I wanted to know that I wasn’t ‘crazy’. I needed to talk to someone, being totally truthful and not worrying about hurting someone’s feelings. I needed someone who could be objective and tell me what I needed to hear, even if it was stressful to hear it. I loved the fact that Mary prayed with me and for me. I was more than encouraged and helped by talking to a kind and caring person and by the advice given which I knew was godly advice and also professional advice.
   “Mary was very understanding. She treated me with the utmost respect. I knew she would keep everything confidential. Not only was my experience very good, I also recommended HIM to my daughter and daughter-in-law. They were both helped greatly.
   “I would always recommend a Christian counselor over one who is not Christian. I have a family member who got very useless/bad counseling from a secular person, even though they had the credentials. Not relating everything spiritually was worthless and actually hindered her recovery.
“DON’T PROCRASTINATE. It’s not going to get better. If you need help, you need it now.”
A Tulsa Resident
