Frequently Asked Questions about Christians and Recovery
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re battling addiction, brokenness, or situations that feel impossible. But there is always hope. God has a way of meeting us right where we are, and sometimes that help comes through the right resources, mentors, and communities that walk with us toward healing.
If you’re struggling, you don’t have to do it alone. Here are some powerful places to begin your journey:
Can I be a Christian and still struggle with mental health?
Many faithful believers in Scripture battled fear, grief, and despair—David cried out in the Psalms, Elijah wanted to give up, and even Jesus wept.
Struggling with Christian mental health doesn’t make you less of a Christian. It makes you human and in need of God’s healing and hope, just like all of us. The truth is, religion and mental health are not at odds. Jesus meets you in the middle of the mess.
Whether healing comes through prayer, Scripture, counseling, or community, He's with you every step. You are not too broken. You are deeply loved and never alone. Isaiah 41:10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
How do I help a family member who is dealing with mental health or addiction?
The best place to start is by being present, listening without judgment, and praying consistently. Mental health and Christianity can be a complex journey to navigate for family and friends. Our podcast and devotionals offer insight into what healing looks like from the inside. Sharing stories from our “You Are Loved” series can open doors to compassion and conversation. For more practical recovery resources and information on recovery programs, consider looking into Christian counseling services or a Christian based therapy center in your area.
Galatians 6:2, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
"Is it okay to seek professional help like counseling or therapy as a Christian?"
Yes. Seeking Christian therapy or medical support is not a lack of faith—it’s an act of wisdom and courage. God can work through both spiritual and practical means. Many stories in From These Broken Pieces include both faith and professional healing journeys, showing that you can integrate your beliefs into your healing process.
Your journey toward mental health recovery is a journey of faith, and that often involves seeking help from professionals. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 11:14 that “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” Finding a good Christian mental health counseling service can be a vital step toward freedom and healing.
How do I find a Christian-based recovery program near me?
Finding a Christian-based therapy or mental health recovery program that aligns with your faith can be a powerful step toward healing. While your journey is deeply personal, you don't have to walk it alone. Recovery programs that integrate biblical principles and spiritual support can be a vital part of your path to wholeness.
Here are a few ways to find the recovery programs near me that can help you:
Start with Your Church Community: Many churches have ministries or connections to local Christian mental health counseling services and support groups like Celebrate Recovery. Ask your pastor or a trusted leader for recommendations. They may be aware of local resources that are not widely advertised.
Search Online Directories: There are several excellent online directories specifically for Christian care providers. Websites like the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) have "Find a Counselor" tools that can help you locate Christian counseling services and programs in your area.
Look for Specific Ministries: Many well-known ministries offer dedicated recovery resources. For example, Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, 12-step program
with thousands of chapters worldwide. A simple search for "Celebrate Recovery near me" can connect you with a local group.
As you seek help, remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." He is with you every step of the way, and there are loving, professional, and faith-based resources available to help you find freedom and rest.
