Finding Light in the Darkness: My Journey to Becoming a Christian Life Coach

Hello, my fellow brothers in Christ,

My name is Nathan, and I’m a Christian Life Coach. I’ve travelled some long and dark roads to get to where I am today. My journey started around 13 when I first experienced anxiety and depression. Throughout my teenage years, I was on and off with God. It felt crazy to believe in a God who would let me go through so much pain. Things got worse, and I began to self-harm. In my twenties, I even attempted suicide a couple of times. Praise God those attempts didn't succeed.

After a long battle with my mental health, I started therapy in 2018. By 2021, I was in psychiatric rehabilitation. It was a tough time, but it turned out to be the beginning of my transformation. Over the next few years, I dove deep into my faith and realised that only God could help me. I had spent years blaming Him, only to discover He was my way out. It wasn't God who cursed me; it was Satan trying to steal, kill, and destroy. But God uses everything for the good of His people.

I eventually enrolled in a Life Coaching course. I wanted to use my experiences to help other Christian men find their way and live the life God has planned for them. I use various skills to guide men from where they are to where they want to be, both in life and in their relationship with God. We don’t have to fear this world, for we are not part of it. I know how scary and dark the world can seem. Everything can become a fear if you let it, but everything can also be used by God. That's what we need to focus on as Christians.

God is perfect and knows all, so why should we fear when the God of the universe is behind us, carrying us, and guiding us? God is good, and He will take care of you just as He has taken care of me and continues to do so. I remember praying for peace once, and God simply said, "Trust me." I panicked because I didn't know what "trust me" meant. Was I doing the right thing? Should I turn around? I was lost and spiralled all day until I realised that trusting God meant not doing what I had been doing all day: worrying.

Trust God and know that He will work everything out. We are not meant to be part of this world, so don’t worry so much if it isn't good to you. We won't be here forever, only for a very short time.

Blessings, Nathan
