Thomas Kasabian received his bachelor's degree in International Affairs from Florida State University and his Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University. While completing his undergraduate degree, physical health issues began making themselves known and brought on severe depression for several years. He knows the struggles of chronic health concerns and the frustration and pain that can come from those obstacles in life—and the effort of overcoming them. In his journey of finding his own self-worth when navigating these obstacles, he found his calling and passion in helping others find their path and love of God. Thomas believes firmly that nobody is defined by the challenges that may hold them back in life and looks forward to sharing the love of Jesus through helping others rewrite their story that they believed might have been finished.
