Are You Ready
to Leave the Pit Behind?
Compassionate Christian Counseling
Leaving The Pit Behind (LTPB) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Mental Health and Addiction Services organization created to help Christians and their families find healing, growth, and renewed hope. We make high-quality, affordable mental health care accessible to those who want support but may feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unable to afford traditional services.
Through our online Peer Support forum, you’ll find a safe, faith-centered community where you can share openly, receive encouragement, and walk alongside others who understand what you’re facing. This supportive space is designed to reduce isolation, foster connection, and help you take meaningful steps forward at your own pace.
In addition to serving individuals, LTPB also equips congregational leaders through The Academy, our online classroom. By training leaders to better understand mental health and addiction, we help create healthier, more informed and supportive church communities.
Whether you’re struggling or simply seeking growth, LTPB is here to walk alongside you—helping you move forward with clarity, strength, and faith.

Testimonials
The mental health lessons give by brother Adams were very beneficial to our congregation and helped to shed light on an ever growing and often misunderstood issue among Christians.

As an elder, I recommended we have Art at the Smokey Hill church of Christ in Denver Colorado for a weekend series on addictions. The series was outstanding! We let the community know of this series as well. It was designed to make it profitable for our members but as an outreach to our neighbors. Art’s series of lessons not only gave us biblically sound lessons on addictions, but he also provided steps and info on how to overcome these addictions. The info is still on the website. Many members let me know that they learned so much that weekend and hadn’t heard of any type of sound biblical lessons like that in the church. Finally, Art made himself available all weekend for private one on one counseling. When Art wasn’t preaching, he was helping Christian families who were in need of his biblical based professional help. As a shepherd, leaders need to consider this type of help and teaching for their flock.”I have heard brother Art Adams preach his Bible based series. His words are insightful, informative, and encouraging. His lessons penetrate deeply into the inner man and expose the hidden works of darkness that may lie and lurk in one’s heart (Eph. 5:11; Heb. 4:12). I pray that many will attend and be edified as per Acts 20:32.

“When the elders at Twin City in College Station invited Art Adams to discuss addictions and disorders with our college group of young Christians, we expected his presentation to be effective and fruitful, and we were not disappointed. He is deeply knowledgeable on so many facets of the dark world of addictions, and similarly capable regarding disorders of behavior and thinking. He could only cover a small portion of his knowledge base in our limited time, but it was clear that he had an even greater depth to plumb when time would allow.
