When life gets heavy — anxiety, grief, shame, addiction, broken relationships — it helps to have someone walk with you who genuinely gets it and points you to Jesus. Share the Struggle is a nonprofit that pairs people with trained discipleship coaches for one-on-one or group sessions built around a four-stage journey: Encounter, Surface, Refine, Live — a coaching model grounded in Romans 12:2 that helps people face what's underneath their struggle and learn new, biblical ways to respond.^1
Founded by Ryan Miller, Share the Struggle operates on a conviction that information alone can't hold the mirror or stay with you while the Holy Spirit does the refining. Coaches work across 35+ focus areas including marriage, anxiety, grief, identity, burnout, calling, and spiritual formation, using the TEA framework (Thought → Emotion → Action) to surface what's driving behavior and anchor it in Scripture.^1 The platform also offers expert-led 8-week video courses on topics like anxiety, trauma, shame, pornography, miscarriage, and grief — taught by voices like Dr. Caroline Leaf, Matthias Barker, Rebekah Lyons, Cathy Loerzel, and Benji Horning — each with workbooks built for small group settings.^2
Churches like Church of the Highlands, North Coast Church, FCA, and Cru trust Share the Struggle to meet the emotional and mental health needs of their people with structured curriculum, table leader training, and direct coaching access for congregants.^3 Churches can run STS courses with flexible pricing (pay-per-seat or monthly subscription by congregation size), and leaders earn table leader certification at no extra cost.^3
Why Christians Love It"I didn't come in broken. I came in tired of pretending things were fine. My coach helped me see what was actually driving it — and then stayed with me while I learned how to respond differently. A year later, my marriage, my thoughts, and my walk with God all feel different." — Client testimony^1
"I'm really grateful for group coaching. I don't have any Christian people in my life, and have never had anyone pray for me, but now I do. It feels so good to be supported by a Christian community." — Ken^4
"My coach helped me to understand that I have layered grief and that I seem to have a grasp on juggling it which I question myself on daily. She made me feel loved and that I mattered." — Jen^4
