How Much Does Christian Coaching Cost?

Christian coaching through Share the Struggle costs $197 a month for 100 minutes or $349 a month for 200 minutes, billed as monthly minutes rather than a per-session fee. Couples coaching runs $250 and $475 for those same two tiers, and group coaching is $24 per session, billed weekly. If you’ve been circling the idea of coaching for weeks but keep stalling out on “what does this actually cost me,” we’d rather just tell you the numbers than make you dig for them.

Cost is usually the first wall people hit before they ever book a session. Not because they don’t want help. Because they don’t know what they’re signing up for, and nobody wants to hand over a credit card without knowing what happens next. So let’s walk through exactly how this works, what it costs, and where it sits next to the other options you’ve probably already considered.

What do the coaching packages actually cost?

Individual coaching is built around monthly minutes, used in 25 or 50 minute sessions, not a flat per-session rate. The two tiers are 100 minutes per month for $197, or 200 minutes per month for $349.

Couples coaching follows the same structure, priced a bit higher because two people are in the room instead of one: 100 minutes per month for $250, or 200 minutes per month for $475.

If one-on-one coaching feels like more than you’re ready for right now, group coaching is $24 per session, billed weekly. Same coaching philosophy, shared setting, lower cost per touchpoint.

There’s no hidden setup fee, no “call for a quote,” no surprise add-on after you’ve already committed. The price you see is the price you pay.

Why is coaching priced by minutes instead of per session?

It’s priced by monthly minutes because that structure protects you from surprise billing, and it gives you flexibility in how you use your time. A straight per-session fee sounds simple until you realize it locks you into a rigid schedule. Minutes work differently. You get a pool of time each month, 100 or 200, and you decide how to spend it: two 50 minute sessions, four 25 minute check-ins, or some mix depending on what that particular month looks like.

Some months you need a full hour to work through something heavy. Other months a quick 25 minute check-in is enough to stay accountable. The minutes model lets the coaching flex around your actual life instead of forcing your life to flex around a fixed appointment slot. You’re not paying per crisis. You’re paying for consistent access to someone who’s in your corner, and how you use that access is up to you.

How does the cost compare to therapy?

A single therapy session commonly runs somewhere in the range of $100 to $200, which means a full month of coaching, at either tier, sits in the range of what you’d pay for just one or two therapy sessions. That’s not a knock on therapy. Therapy does something coaching isn’t built to do, and we’ll get to that in a second. But if the math has been stopping you, it’s worth seeing clearly: $197 a month for 100 minutes of coaching is not a bigger financial commitment than what people already budget for a single clinical hour.

We wrote a longer breakdown on the difference between coaching and therapy if you’re still working out which one fits what you’re carrying right now. Short version: they’re not competitors, they’re different tools, and a lot of people benefit from both at different points.

Does insurance cover Christian coaching?

No, insurance generally does not cover Christian coaching, and it’s worth being direct about why instead of dodging the question. Insurance covers clinical treatment: diagnosis, licensed clinical care, treatment plans tied to a mental health diagnosis. Coaching isn’t clinical treatment. It’s discipleship-based support, accountability, and guidance from someone trained to walk with you through real struggle, but it isn’t a substitute for the clinical process insurance is built to reimburse.

That’s not a loophole or something we’re trying to soften. It’s the honest distinction. Coaching lives in a different lane, and that lane isn’t the one insurance companies fund. What that means practically is you’re paying out of pocket, and we’ve priced it so that reality doesn’t put coaching out of reach. $197 a month is a number a lot of people can plan around without needing a claim to go through first.

Is coaching a replacement for a therapist or a doctor?

No. If you’re dealing with a diagnosed mental health condition, in crisis, or need clinical treatment, coaching is not a substitute for a licensed therapist or physician, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Coaching is discipleship-focused support: someone walking alongside you, applying faith and practical wisdom to whatever you’re facing, holding you accountable to the changes you say you want to make. A therapist is trained to diagnose and treat. A coach is trained to walk with you.

A lot of people use both. Coaching alongside therapy, or coaching after therapy has done its work and you need someone to help you keep building. If you’re not sure where that line is for your specific situation, that’s a fair thing to bring up in your first conversation with us, not something you have to figure out alone before you reach out.

What if $197 a month still feels like a lot right now?

If $197 a month still feels heavy, group coaching at $24 per session is the lower-cost entry point, and it’s not a watered-down version of the same thing. It’s the same coaching approach in a shared setting instead of a one-on-one room. For some people, that shared space is actually more helpful early on. Hearing someone else name the exact thing you’ve been carrying alone has a way of loosening its grip before you’ve said a single word yourself.

There’s no wrong door here. Some people start in group and move to individual later. Some people start one-on-one because what they’re carrying feels too specific to say out loud in a room of strangers yet. Either way, the cost shouldn’t be the reason you don’t start.

How do I know which package is right for me?

The honest answer is you probably won’t know for certain until you’re in the first session, and that’s fine. If you’re new to this entirely, we’ve written up what actually happens in your first Christian coaching session so you’re not walking in blind. It’s a conversation, not a test you can fail. Most people start at 100 minutes a month and adjust from there once they know how they actually use the time.

If you’re still stuck on whether coaching is even the right fit for what you’re dealing with, or you’re comparing it against therapy, a support group, or just white-knuckling it alone, we put together a guide on figuring out if you need a Christian life coach that walks through the signs worth paying attention to.
