ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

ONE-ON-ONE COACHING

Coaching for the Church

Share the Struggle offers Coaching Services to meet the one-on-one support needs of your people

  • Individual and group sessions with vetted, certified, Jesus-loving coaches. Our coaches are eager to meet weekly with anyone in your congregation to help them walk into greater freedom from their struggles.

  • We believe coaching is one of many tools God has provided for us to accomplish the mission of binding up the brokenhearted. There’s no adequate replacement for Christ’s model for the church to bring communities of people together. That’s why STS empowers the local church to walk with their congregation while offering 1-on-1 support.

  • Send your congregation this link. Here, they’ll give us the information we need to support them best. This includes pairing them with a coach who is trained in their specific area of need, determining session frequency, and creating a tailored plan that leads to greater health.

    *Reminder, we always encourage churches to prioritize building connections in church-supported small groups. We wholeheartedly believe this is the way to grow a healthy church and invite people into the journey of allowing God to transform their emotional and mental health.

  • At STS, we follow the Captive Thoughts Coaching model which has three elements (see below). We’ve found this model most effective in seeing people gain freedom in their lives. This coaching model is different from therapy, which seeks to process the past. Coaching stays in the present and future, providing tools, insights and actionable steps. Our coaches are friends for the journey who will pray, share their story and perspective, offer accountability and provide practical solutions for finding emotional and spiritual freedom.

What You Can Expect

  • 1. Prayer

    The first is Prayer.

    In every session, we want to invite the Holy Spirit to come and share whatever He wants with us. We practice listening and inner healing prayer, often accompanied by somatic breathing or scripture meditation to calm our nervous system and focus our attention on God, His Word, and His heart for us.

  • 2. Tea Time

    Secondly, we do what we call TEA time.

    This stands for Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions. We believe the Bible when it says repeatedly to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. So, if we want to change the actions in our lives, it begins with changing our thinking, which in turn aligns our emotions with God’s Kingdom and the Fruits of the Spirit.

  • 3. Plan of Action

    The third and last element of a coaching session is creating a plan of action.

    Our goal is to create a new path forward, and although our past is important, with coaching, we make an effort to move beyond. Each week, your coach will give you practical and actionable steps to continue to grow in your goals, faith, and mental/emotional/physical health.

Small Group Courses

Courses on today’s most pressing topics are taught by experts, and led by your staff.

  • Share the Struggle courses offer 6 to 8 week video courses on today’s most pressing topics like anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction and relationships. Each course is led by industry experts like Dr. Caroline Leaf, Matthias Barker, Rebecca Lyons (and many more), and are further supported by pastors and licensed therapists who offer well-rounded psychological and faith-based tools and resources. Courses include professional videos, workbooks that guide you through the videos and companion guides that create lasting change and grow community throughout the week.

  • Christ’s model of the local church bringing people together to walk through life’s challenges is irreplaceable — it’s Christ-centered community. With shifting budgets, fewer staff and a growing demand for your time, we know investing what it takes to meet the emotional and mental health needs of your congregation can feel impossible. That’s why we’re offering an all-in-one emotional and mental health resource that will not only meet the needs of your congregation but for you and your team, as well.

    It is Share the Struggle’s mission to walk alongside every church, with every budget, in every need so that people can experience the redemption and freedom that only comes from a relationship with Jesus.

  • FIND A CHAMPION - Find an in-house champion who will lead the way with your team and congregation. This isn’t as big of a responsibility as you may think — we’ve done the leg work by providing the communication templates, instructions and support needed to launch courses with ease. We even have an Integrations team waiting for you to answer any question and customize courses to the structure of your church or organization.

    RECRUIT TABLE LEADERS - We recommend one table leader for every 5-6 people enrolled in the course. This makes participants feel connected and well cared for. We’ll even take care of training your leaders for you by enrolling them in our Share the Struggle Certification Course — completely free of charge.

    LAUNCH YOUR COURSE - Determine the time and location, get people signed up, print the workbooks, throw out some snacks and there you go — you’re up and running. Some churches start off by running one course at a time. Others roll o

  • We’re all about options! That’s why we offer two pricing models, monthly subscriptions and by-the-seat. Monthly subscriptions are based off the size of your church and by-the-seat is available in various size packages. This allows churches to roll STS into their specific church budget, host as many courses as they would like, and access all our content. Plus, our team can work with you on setting up a structure that doesn’t cost the church anything. Just ask us how!

    Check out our pricing breakdown below.

    Remember, our Integrations Team is on standby to help you successfully provide courses for your staff and congregation. If you would like additional support or have questions, please email team@sharethestruggle.org or text (760) 307-4055.

Care Certification and training on topics of struggle to equip your staff and leaders.

  • Here‘s the thing: you can lead anything without training, but that doesn‘t mean you‘re leading well. Leading well means you have the knowledge, bandwidth, and calling to provide the needed resources without draining yourself or your team.

    Being Share the Struggle certified means you‘re coming in with an increased skillset that will allow you to provide appropriate support in crucial situations. It means you will be knowledgeable in the basics of helping people through struggles like suicidal ideation, eating disorders, grief, anxiety, trauma and more. It means you‘re confident and capable of making an eternal impact by meeting people in their emotional and mental health needs. Our goal is that every leader is STS Certified and fully equipped to meet the world‘s emotional and mental health needs.

    *STS Certification is not a replacement for counseling and doesn‘t not make you a mental health professional. It‘s a tool for ministry leaders to be better equipped and to know when it’s appropriate to direct your congregation to professional help.

  • We’ve brought together leading psychological and Christian experts to provide you and your team with the knowledge needed when dealing with someone’s emotional and mental health. Perfect for individual, small group or conference-style training sessions, the STS Care Certification and training is laid out in an easy-to-follow format with videos and an accompanying workbook and can be taken at any pace. We recommend your team work through the content together so you’re able to discuss and apply the training directly to your church or organization.

    Interested in having a Share the Struggle speaker lead your staff in an in-person full day training conference? Contact us at support@sharethestruggle.org.

  • 100% free for all our subscribers and seat purchasers - that’s how much we believe in what we have to offer!
