Is this a faith-based program or just a recovery course with a Christian label?
This is fully faith-based, not faith-flavored. The Christian worldview is built into every session—from coaching tools based on Scripture to discussions about spiritual warfare, identity in Christ, and God-led transformation. You’ll also learn how to navigate legal and ethical challenges while coaching in Christian spaces.
What exactly is the Christian Addiction Coach Certification?
The Christian Family Coaching Certification is a nationally recognized, faith-based training program designed to equip individuals with the spiritual, clinical, and coaching tools needed to guide families affected by addiction, dysfunction, and emotional brokenness.
Can I use this certification in a church, ministry, or treatment center?
Yes. This certification is accredited, biblically grounded, and professionally recognized—making it ideal for use in churches, Christian ministries, reentry programs, sober living homes, and even secular treatment centers that welcome faith-based approaches.
You’ll learn how to coach with spiritual sensitivity, ethical excellence, and practical skill—so your support aligns with both your client’s needs and your organization’s standards. Whether you're offering recovery support groups, one-on-one coaching, or serving in pastoral care, this training equips you to do the work with confidence, competence, and spiritual authority.
How is this different from a secular recovery coach training?
Most secular programs focus only on habit change or behavior management. This training goes deeper. Our Christian Addiction Coach Certification is spiritually anchored, clinically informed, and designed to address both the root and the fruit of addiction. You’ll learn proven tools from neuroscience, trauma recovery, and behavioral coaching—without compromising your faith.
This program equips you to coach through the lens of Scripture, prayer, identity in Christ, and redemptive accountability—so you're not just helping someone stay sober, but helping them experience real spiritual freedom and personal transformation.
Do I need a background in counseling or therapy?
No. This is a coaching certification, not a clinical license. We teach you how to work within your scope, set healthy boundaries, and know when to refer clients to therapy. You’ll get clear guidance on ethics, legal protections, and professional best practices as a Christian coach.
