Faith, Resilience, and Counseling: A Conversation with Brother Acha Goris
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Honest Pursuit, we sit down with Brother Acha Goris, a Military and Family Life Counselor, to explore the unique challenges and rewards of counseling within the military community. Acha shares her personal journey into this calling, how her Christian faith shapes her approach, and what it looks like to bridge the gap between military culture and spiritual values.
Together, we discuss the stigma around seeking help—especially among men—the emotional weight of counseling military families, and the practices that keep her grounded in faith and family. Acha also offers wisdom for anyone serving in high-pressure environments and encouragement for those navigating their own battles with stress, trauma, or doubt.
Whether you’re in uniform, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for hope in hard seasons, this conversation is full of honesty, encouragement, and truth.
