🧠💛 Tired of looking for mental health resour 🧠💛 Tired of looking for mental health resources that are practical AND align with your faith?😅😅 (feat my husband looking annoyed) 

I was too—until I built this.

Hi friends! My name is Amber Ginter Johnson—I am a teacher-turned-author, certified Christian mental health coach, and host of the Authentically Amber podcast.

After walking through anxiety, burnout, chronic illness, and faith challenges, I realized something:

There’s a lot of “help” out there that sounds good… but doesn’t speak to your soul or point you to Jesus.

That’s why I created this:
📘 My FREE Faith + Mental Health Resource Guide

A personally vetted PDF packed with:
✅ Books that go deep
✅ Podcasts that inspire real healing
✅ Videos that speak truth
✅ Influencers you can actually trust

These are the voices that helped me when I felt overwhelmed and spiritually stuck—and now I want to pass them on to you.

🎁 Grab the guide here: [AmberGinter.com/gift] 
💬 Or comment “freebie” and I’ll DM it straight to you! The link is also in my bio :)

Let’s stop feeling stuck and start healing—with truth that speaks to both the mind and heart. 💛

💔 Church hurt is real—so is healing. Maybe s 💔 Church hurt is real—so is healing.

Maybe someone at church judged you. Ignored your pain. Abused their position. Or made you feel like you had to choose between your faith and your emotional safety.

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to walk away from Jesus because of what someone did in His name.

On the blog this week, I’m sharing my heart on how to begin healing from church hurt—without giving up on your faith. This isn’t a formula or a five-step fix. It’s a grace-filled conversation with Scripture, truth, and hope for the hard stuff.

✨ Whether you’re in the middle of the pain or just beginning to unpack it, this piece is for you.

📖 Want to read it? Drop a 💬 “Church Hurt” in the comments and I’ll send it directly to you. You are not alone in this.❤️

Ever felt guilty for needing rest?
Same. 😔😢😅🙋‍♀️

But here’s the truth: Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a way of honoring the body, mind, and soul God gave you. 💛

In Episode 4 of the Authentically Amber Podcast, we’re diving into the guilt Christians often feel around rest—and why biblical self-care is actually an act of worship.

Have you ever felt like your doubt means you’re Have you ever felt like your doubt means you’re failing in your faith? I know I have.🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

I used to think doubt was the enemy of faith… but I’ve learned that doubt can actually bring us closer to God.

When the father said, ‘I believe; help my unbelief,’ it showed me faith isn’t about having it all together.

If you’re wrestling with questions right now, that’s okay. Faith is a journey, and Jesus meets us in the struggle.

If you’ve ever felt like your questions or struggles mean you’re failing in your walk with God — this reel (and episode 3 of the podcast) is for you. 💛You’re not alone. 

Faith isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up, wrestling with doubt, and trusting God in the messy middle.

Gen Z Spotlight: Meet Josie ✨ I met @josieepett Gen Z Spotlight: Meet Josie ✨

I met @josieepettit last summer while interviewing her for my book, and I knew instantly that her voice mattered. At just 21, she’s already making waves as the founder of the @confetticakeproject Confetti Cake Project and a senior at Samford University. 🎂🎓

In today’s spotlight, Josie opens up about her experience with anxiety—what it’s really like, how she’s learned to cope, and what she wishes more people understood. Her honesty and hope are exactly what our generation needs. 💬🫶

Let’s keep breaking the stigma and start more conversations like this. You’re not alone. 💛

Faith in God is not life-giving if you ignore your mental and emotional health. Healthy faith attends to what you're feeling because it expresses the needs of your heart and soul.
