You were never meant to carry it alone.
Start walking through what you are facing today with a guided pathway written for exactly that. Then talk it through with an ordained pastor who listens, prays, and stays with you.
Confidential · Biblical · No long-term commitment
Something to start today
Fifty-six guided Devo10 pathways, each eighty-four days, written for a specific hard thing. Grief, marriage, addiction, doubt, purpose. You begin the day you decide to.
A pastor who knows your story
Ordained ministers with theological training and real pastoral experience. Counsel rooted in Scripture and prayer, over video or phone, from someone who remembers what you said last time.
Someone who stays
Check-ins, prayer, and steady support so you keep moving forward instead of getting stuck in the hard season.
Four steps, walked together
Care that begins the moment you reach out, not whenever a calendar opens up.
Start a pathway
Tell us what you are walking through and we point you to the Devo10 series written for it. Ten minutes a day of Scripture, prayer, and honest questions. You can begin before you ever speak to anyone.
Share your story
Fill out a confidential intake. We ask real questions about where you are and what you are facing. What you write is kept private and is seen only by your pastor, with the exception the law requires of us: if a child or vulnerable adult is being harmed, or someone is in danger, we are required to act.
We match you with a pastor
Based on what you share, we pair you with Pastor Ryan or Pastor Carey, whoever is the better fit, and get your first conversation on the calendar.
Keep walking
Ongoing conversations, check-ins, and prayer, alongside a pathway you are working through on your own. The goal is not to need us forever. It is to walk with God through this and come out steadier.
The pastor who wrote it is the pastor you will talk to.
Devo10 is ours. Pastor Ryan wrote all fifty-six series, more than four thousand days of Scripture, prayer, and reflection, for people carrying specific, difficult things. Anyone can read the first week of any series free. Every Tend member gets the entire library, all fifty-six series, at no additional cost. And when you are ready to talk, you are talking to the person whose words you have been reading.
