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 certified Christian coaches for weekly one-on-one, group, or couples sessions designed around a simple rhythm: prayer, examining your thoughts and emotions, and building a plan of action rooted in Scripture.^1
Founded by Ryan Miller — who also created the Taming Mustangs documentary and hosts the Jesus People Podcast — Share the Struggle operates under a "Captive Thoughts Coaching" model grounded in Romans 12:2: "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind."^2 Coaches bring a minimum of 200 hours of one-on-one experience and undergo professional training and certification.^1 The platform also offers expert-led video courses on topics like anxiety, trauma, pornography, shame, miscarriage, and grief — taught by voices like Dr. Caroline Leaf, Matthias Barker, and Rebekah Lyons — each with workbooks built for small group settings.^3
Churches, businesses, and organizations like Church of the Highlands, Chick-fil-A, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Cru trust Share the Struggle to meet the emotional and mental health needs of their people.^4 Churches can run STS courses with tiered pricing based on congregation size, and leaders can get STS Care Certified at no extra cost.^3
Why People Love It"I went into this process with some reservations, not completely trusting in the Lord. I have been so blessed in the way God has shown up powerfully in every session. I look forward to what the Lord has in store next as my faith continues to grow week by week." — Sophia^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^1
"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^1
