Thinking about trying EFT? Here’s why it might be exactly what you need. 💬❤️

EFT isn’t just talk therapy — it’s about getting to the root of disconnection in relationships and within yourself.
It helps you break the cycle of:

Arguing about the same things 😤

Feeling alone even when you’re together 💔

Shutting down or walking on eggshells 😶

With EFT, you learn how to:
✨ Understand your emotional patterns
✨ Feel safe expressing your real feelings
✨ Rebuild trust, closeness, and connection

Because deep down, we all long to feel loved, seen, and safe. And healing begins when we stop fighting each other — and start fighting for each other. 💞



Because when we feel secure, we can truly connect. 💞

What does CBT stand for and what does it target? Here is a simple breakdown. Therapy doesn't have to be scary; oftentimes, it's just being brave and taking the first step. 'WE CAN BE SCARED AND DO BRAVE THINGS' - Rebecca Maxwell.

Men, this is an incredible opportunity that is FREE with Dr. Jake Porter:

Fearless and Free: A 12-Step Bible Study
Starting Tuesday, July 1
8:00 AM Central | 13 Weeks | Live on Zoom | Free

This 13-week experience is my way of giving back—an offering from the overflow of what’s been given to me through recovery, Scripture, and spiritual formation. It’s completely free and open to any man who’s ready to walk the path from fear to freedom—because I believe love really can cast out fear (1 John 4:18), and none of us are meant to walk that path alone.

Each week, we’ll explore one of the 12 Steps through the lens of the New Testament, focusing on the biblical theme of telos—the Greek word for maturity, wholeness, and fulfillment in divine purpose.

While the study is rooted in a Christian worldview, men of any faith (or none) are welcome. All that’s required is an open heart and a willingness to reflect honestly on your life, values, and relationships.

What to Expect Each Week:
One 12 Step principle

Key Scriptures on fear, love, and maturity

Integration of recovery psychology and theology

Reflection questions and spiritual practices

A space for honest, values-based growth

Important Details:
🗓 Tuesdays at 8:00 AM Central, beginning July 1
📍 Live on Zoom only – no recordings will be made
👥 Men only
💸 Free to attend
🚨 Space limited to 1,000 men

👉 Register here to reserve your spot: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/18AfpDbMTfyyxFtvpSPM0w #/registration

Feel free to pass this along to anyone who might benefit. I’m truly looking forward to walking this journey with you.

In service and hope,
Dr. Jake Porter Dr. Jake Porter

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: 12 Step Bible Study. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

On Juneteenth, we honor the day when the last enslaved people in the U.S. were finally told they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

As followers of Christ, we recognize that true freedom goes even deeper.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” (Galatians 5:1)

Juneteenth reminds us not only of the cost of delayed justice, but also the power of truth, liberation, and hope. In Christ, we are called to be agents of justice—bearing witness to freedom that heals bodies, minds, and spirits.

Today, we remember. We celebrate. We commit again to walk in the fullness of God’s freedom—where dignity, love, and justice reign.

Too often, men are taught to “man up” instead of speak up. But mental health struggles don’t discriminate by gender. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress impact men just as deeply — they just show up differently.

Men may hide pain behind anger, workaholism, or silence. But reaching out is not weakness — it’s strength.

Let’s normalize therapy, emotional expression, and support for men. Healing starts with conversation.

If you are a man and struggling, do not wait to ask for help; reach out to Jacksonville Counseling Services.

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!

WE CAN HAVE HOPE IN JESUS when our circumstances seem out of control.
Remember when all hope seemed lost on Good Friday, our Lord Jesus Christ had a plan. He had YOU in mind. He had redemption on his heart.

“When our world feels out of control, when we feel confused by life or which decision to make, we can be intentionally still with the knowledge of our ever-present warrior God, who is almighty, and powerful over all the heavens and the earth. The Lord of hosts fights for us from a place of victory.” -Rebecca Maxwell 👇

Therapy is a safe space to explore the underlying causes of decision-making anxiety, whether it’s rooted in past experiences, fear of failure, or perfectionism. A therapist can help you work through these feelings and develop healthier patterns of thinking when it comes to choices.

If decision anxiety is something you're struggling with, you're not alone. The path to feeling more confident in your decisions is a journey, but it’s one that is absolutely worth taking. 💙
