You Encouragers Need Encouragement Too! 2023-10-02T18:45:34-04:00 Shaunti Feldhahn

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Here are some of the practical ways our ministry is here to help you.

Most importantly, I want to make sure you know about #1, as it can be a practical way to take work off your plate.

Weekly blog content. Many of you have newsletters, but writing content is one of those things that you often just don’t have time for. When that happens, please use any of our weekly blogs/articles in your newsletter or social media! We spend a lot of time and effort on these blogs to serve everyday readers in their relationships—and to give counselors, leaders, and ministries resources they can share with their people. I invite you to keep an eye on our weekly topics. If you see something that would be useful to you and your people, you are welcome to excerpt that blog or link to it in your newsletter, social posts or whatever methods you use to communicate to your own audience, as long as you give credit/attribution to shaunti.com. (So if you haven’t subscribed to our weekly blog, click here to sign up!)

Other resources:

Books and courses. From examining the underlying issues that drive relationship insecurities through bestselling books For Women Only and For Men Only to looking at the money and sex problems in marriage, to how simple kindness transforms relationships, to devotionals that take people on a journey to better mental health, we have two dozen books and courses that can help your people—and perhaps help Please check them out on our website or send an email to [email protected] and a member of our staff will follow up with you to discuss which of our resources would be a match for the people you serve.

Speaking. Speaking is where the research-based a-ha moments come to life! We have heard innumerable stories about lives and marriages changed by the practical, doable, transformational truths we share from the stage. I say “we,” because in addition to my individual speaking calendar (especially women’s events), my husband Jeff and I love doing marriage events together. It is especially fun to watch the men in the audience totally engage in an event that some were initially reluctant to attend. Mostly because they relate to Jeff—a non-counselor, former-captain-of-the-football-team guy—who can legitimately demonstrate that if he can do this, they can do this! So we would love to serve you or your leader friends in-person or virtually. Please email us at [email protected] or visit my speaking page to see how we might work together.

We have been doing exploratory research for several years on the mental health crisis and evidence-based ways of addressing it. I can’t say much yet, and we aren’t sure exactly where this will go, but stay tuned for more. We would love your prayers that this project indeed becomes what we hope: a very, very practical way to help you as you help others.

Friends, again, I just have to say thank you. Let us know how we can serve you. The sea of 7,000 faces at the AACC World Conference offered a glimpse that together we can do more than we ever could alone. The harvest has always been great, and the workers always few—but we also know that God has called us to link arms to make a difference.

Let’s keep making one.
