GOD SEES YOU
You searched for a Christian crisis hotline because something is happening right now that feels too heavy to carry alone. Maybe it is grief that will not lift. Maybe it is fear that will not quiet. Maybe it is a relationship that is falling apart, or a darkness that has been building for a long time, and tonight it finally broke through the surface. Whatever brought you here, God did not miss it. And neither did I.
Let me start with something important. Getting help is not a weakness. Getting help is the first act of wisdom.
I put this page together because real crises do not wait for business hours.
After nearly 30 years of counseling, I know that real crises do not wait for business hours. They do not care that it is 2 in the morning or that your regular counselor does not have an opening until Thursday. Pain shows up when it shows up. And you need to know where to turn before that moment arrives.
I want to be transparent with you. I do not personally endorse every organization listed here, and I encourage you to verify current contact information before a crisis occurs, since phone numbers and services can change. What I do endorse is the act of reaching out rather than suffering alone.
A Gift for You Before You Go
If you are not ready to talk to anyone yet, I understand completely. But I do not want you to leave empty-handed.
I created a short scripture guide called “When You Can’t Stop Crying: 5 Scriptures to Help You Turn to God”
It is free. It takes about 10 minutes to read. And it was written for exactly the kind of night you may be having.
Enter your email address. No cost. No obligation. Just a small gift from one person who cares to another.
“Plans fail without advice, but with many counselors, they are confirmed.”
– Proverbs 15:22
