Stephanie Colinco, a 2021 graduate of the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling (MABC) program at 91̽��, was hired in February as an educational content writer at Accountable2You. She says she’s excited to exercise what she learned at 91̽�� by helping the Kentucky-based accountability software company spread a biblical understanding of sanctification.

“I’m very thankful to the Lord,” Colinco says. “It’s everything that I’m interested in: education, writing, and counseling. It’s perfect.”

Hiring for a position like this is one of the things that makes Accountable2You unique. While Accountable2You provides a software tool to help facilitate accountability, the company emphasizes that in order to get to the root of problems, people must develop a biblical perspective on sin, purity, and community — which explains why it has invested heavily in producing educational resources founded on Scripture.

Today, Colinco is a perfect fit for that mission. But she is a long way from where her educational journey began — in more ways than one.

Raised in the Philippines, she majored in psychology during her undergraduate years.

“I was struggling as a psychology student,” Colinco says. “I grew up in a Christian family, so most of the things that I heard at school were very new to me and made me doubt some of what I learned from the Bible. I couldn’t reconcile what was being taught to me in that university and what I was taught growing up out of Scripture.”

It was during an exchange program in South Korea that she first heard about biblical counseling — though at the time, it didn’t mean much to her. After she finished her psychology program, she started working in her family’s Christian high school ministry as a counselor.

“Even though I was trained in psychology, I wasn’t seeing any results in the students I was trying to help, and I was frustrated,” she says. “I tried integrating psychology and the Bible for a bit, and it didn’t work.”

Then she remembered the conversation in South Korea about biblical counseling.

“I really wanted to know how to counsel from Scripture,” she says. “I knew Scripture had all the answers, so why didn’t I know how to deal with people’s problems?”

She prayed and researched, and the Lord led her to 91̽��’s MABC program, which she finished in 2021. She says the program gave her a deeper understanding of soul problems and hands-on experience in helping people with their sin struggles.

“It was very sanctifying,” she says. “That is my favorite part about it. My time at Master’s played a very big role in my Christian life, and I’m very grateful for everything that I have learned from there.”

After graduating, she moved to Kentucky. This happened to land her a stone’s throw from the headquarters of Accountable2You — something she didn’t realize until she saw a job posting from the company in an alumni email from 91̽��.

“I didn’t know it was going to be this perfect fit when I saw that posting in the alumni email,” she says. But as it turned out, it really was a perfect fit.

“They were looking for someone with biblical counseling training. I was familiar with what they were doing. And I had been looking for a job where I could practice what I had been learning.”

Plus, she came from a family of writers and worked as the editor-in-chief for a publication during her undergrad program. This role as an educational content writer would let her use those skills to educate people on accountability and purity through a biblical framework.

Since being hired, she has hit the ground running in helping to build a new education department at Accountable2You.

“We’re wanting to publish more online articles focusing on purity from a biblical perspective,” she says. “A lot of the content on this topic online comes from human wisdom, but we want to have a biblical approach — not just focusing on pornography, but purity in general.”

Colinco couldn’t be happier with where the Lord has placed her.

“My coworkers are excellent, and I get to do what I love, sharing biblical content with people,” she says. “It gives me a lot of motivation, because I know the Lord worked in my life through all this, and I know that he is able to help others as well. I’m just happy I get to do this every day. I get to point people to Christ and help them in their walk towards Christlikeness.”
