Tony Wheeler, Ph.D

Picture
Tony likes to call himself a “counselor who speaks.”
Tony earned a Ph.D. from Kansas State University in Family Life Education and Consultation and also has a Master’s Degree in Family Studies/Therapy from Friends University. As well as speaking and counseling, he is also the Founder and President of the Family Ministry Institute. As well as speaking and counseling, he is also the Founder and President of the Family Ministry Institute, teaching seminars and equipping the body of Christ through training specifically focused on developing self-awareness, spiritual awareness, and deeper relationships within the marital dyad and with children.

In the past, for seven years, Tony was a professor at Barclay College in both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs and developed the Director of the Master of Arts in Family Ministries Master’s Program at Barclay. He has been an instructor at Kansas State University, Manhattan Christian College, and Phoenix Seminary, and a guest lecturer at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. Dr. Wheeler has been a youth pastor, an associate pastor, a church planter/Senior Pastor, the Director of Counseling Pastor, and a Marriage and Family Pastor, so he has a unique perspective on ministry, having been a pastor himself. He has also been a counselor for over 27 years, a speaker for 20 years, and he has seen many relationships repaired and individuals healed through his counseling ministry and seminars.

Tony has been a workshop and keynote speaker for the American Association for Christian Counselors directed by Dr. Tim Clinton, a co-speaker with Dr. John Trent on The Blessing Project, both 101 and 201, a co-speaker with Dr. John Trent on The Blessing Small Group DVD Series, and has appeared with Jim Daly for Focus on the Family’s radio program as well as Chris Fabry’s radio program Chris Fabry Live, explaining and promoting the concepts of the coffee-conversations model. He and John also developed a Master’s Program in Marriage and Family Ministry for Light University Online working directly with Dr. Tim Clinton to fulfill this mission. His heart is to see individuals and the church walk away from having a fear of man and turn toward a loving Father who desires to see people and churches live in the freedom and healing that a deep relationship with Christ provides.

Dr. Wheeler has a passion to help people find freedom and hope through a deeper relationship with Christ. He has been a professional counselor since 1989 and has always had a private counseling practice on the side, counseling hundreds of individuals, couples, and families. He has seen people set free from marital issues, parenting issues, shame issues, multiple personality disorders, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, infertility, sexual identity issues, and many, many other issues.

Tony and his wife, Stacey, have been married for 32 years and are thankful and blessed to have three grown children: Isaac 30, Adele 28, who is married to Shane Brown with granddaughter Amelia Grace, 6, and their youngest daughter, Audrey 24 who married Benjamin Skinner and became Audrey Skinner.  They have a one-year-old named Judah James and she is pregnant with their second child.


Life Mission:
I am dedicated to sharing the truth of God to meet the needs of families in the twenty-first century, teaching and training individuals and families how to withstand the pressures and pains that they will inevitably face by having an excellent ministry of equipping seminars and biblical counseling.
 
My desire is to conduct Christian seminars and counseling for the purpose of encouraging families to seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and to pursue the Kingdom of God for solutions to past traumas and painful family issues and to find freedom in Jesus Christ.
 
From the StrongFamilies’ website:

“So if you're looking for a speaker for your event - then visit this part of the website. . . I get to work with many wonderful people and teams to help strengthen families! . . . And it includes working with Dr. Tony Wheeler who often joins me in teaching about the Blessing. . . . And he's a great speaker for retreats and events as well.”
Dr. John Trent

Family:
Tony and his wife, Stacey, have been married for 32 years and are thankful and blessed to have three grown children: Isaac 30, Adele 28, who is married to Shane Brown with granddaughter Amelia Grace, 6, and their youngest daughter, Audrey 24 who married Benjamin Skinner and became Audrey Skinner.  They have a one-year-old named Judah James and she is pregnant with their second child.

I should tell you a little more about Stacey, too. She is an incredible wife and mom, and now, grandma.  Stacey also has an incredible heart of compassion for hurting people and regularly intercedes in prayer for her family and for people who are in pain. Her heartbeat comes from Isaiah 61:1-3, to paraphrase: “to proclaim good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, release from darkness for the prisoners, comfort all who mourn, and have a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.”  Stacey earned her Master of Arts in English from Fort Hays State Univeristy and was a full-time English professor for seven years.
