Through bibliographic research in works covering the theme, some possibilities are presented to face the personal and professional crises that can devastate the teacher/educator in their professional experience, from a Christian perspective. The crisis in the professional and personal field can be faced with the search for knowledge of oneself and the situations, the recognition of personal responsibility and the strengthening of faith in God and in one's own ability to win with divine help. The conclusion reached is that it is possible to take advantage of crises and seek balance in crisis situations, seeing in them opportunities to grow in all aspects of life.
