Our guides

Every guide here was chosen by hand.

Meet the guides

Every guide here is a pastor or biblical counselor with graduate-level training or deep pastoral experience. Each one cleared our five-round vetting process: interviews, theological review, credential verification, and a background check, then completed our training program before taking a single session.

Every person you might meet here has a profile you can open and check. Training, credentials, church, and the sources to verify all of it.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before your first session.

How long does matching take?

Matching is immediate. We match you with guides on our team whose theology, approach, and personality fit where you are, and you pick the one who feels right. No waiting, no placeholder forms, just a guide ready to walk with you.

What happens during the first session?

Your first session is 50 minutes. Your guide listens, asks questions, prays with you if you want that, and starts getting to know your story. You set the pace.

Can I switch guides if the fit isn't right?

Yes. Fit matters more than almost anything else in this kind of conversation. If your first match does not feel right, tell us and we'll rematch you at no extra cost. You do not owe us an explanation.

What are sessions like?

Sessions are 50 minutes, virtual, face-to-face from wherever you are. What happens inside them depends on you. Some people come with a clear question or situation and want to talk through it. Others come to be discipled, reading scripture together, praying, and building habits that help them grow. Some are in a hard season and just need someone to sit with them in it. Your guide meets you where you are.

Is this therapy?

No. BetterFaith is spiritual care, discipleship, and biblical counseling, rooted in scripture and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our guides are masters-level biblical counselors and pastors. They are trained to walk with you spiritually, not clinically. If what you're carrying calls for licensed therapy or mental health treatment, we'll point you toward the right resource.

How much does it cost?

Sessions are $100 for 50 minutes, and you are charged after the session rather than when you book. Buy sessions in a pack ahead of time and you save up to 15 percent. Many churches subsidize or fully cover sessions for their people, so ask your pastor. If cost is what is standing in your way, email support@betterfaith.com and we will find a way to make it work.
