About Us

Sweeten Life Systems continues the call and ministry of Dr. Gary Sweeten and his colleagues who have pioneered several innovative approaches to help churches and individual Christians foster “A lifetime of great relationships.” The care and cure of troubled souls is our consistent goal.
 
In the 1970s, as Associate Dean of Students at the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Sweeten consistently met Christian college students suffering from trauma, addiction, and biblical confusion. His experiences inspired him to seek a doctorate in counseling. His dissertation —  “Equipping Christians to Care and Counsel One Another” — proved to be providential, with implications for Christians interested in counseling, education, discipleship, small groups, family life and outreach to unbelievers.
 
Sweeten Life Systems provides coaching and consulting services using an asset based model that looks at strengths of people rather than deficiencies.
 
At Sweeten Life Systems, we promote healing and growth by facilitating better relationships with God, self, and others. We offer materials and equipping programs that train peer, pastoral, and paraprofessionals to provide high-quality support in both church and lay settings.
