MEET THE COACH

I'm a happy and dedicated husband to my best friend of 34 years, father to four adult children, grandfather, and a sinner saved by grace who loves and is loved by Jesus.
About Me

For over 25 years, I dedicated my life's work to pastoral ministry to teens and their parents. At the height of the COVID pandemic, my attention turned to helping teenagers who were impacted by trauma, isolation, addiction, and a lost sense of purpose that the global experience amplified. Recovery is

I love Jesus, doing projects around the house, and helping others find joy and purpose in life. When I'm not working, I use my time writing, reading, cooking, re-learning how to play guitar, and dreaming about chocolate lab puppies.

My Commitment to Personal Growth

After receiving a cancer diagnosis in February of 2024, my coaching practice was refocused to pursue the best choices for my recovery and survival. One year later, through changes in lifestyle and successful treatment, I am carcinoma-free and healthier in body, mind, and spirit than at any time in my life.

The QSC Mission

QuadShot Coaching strives to point clients toward an active, growing relationship with Jesus Christ in every aspect of their lives.

Core Values
1. Scripture-based Authority: Everything I do, believe, and present as a coach comes through a Scriptural hermeneutic. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
2. Truth-Seeking: The coach/client relationship must be transparent, authentic, and honest for the sake of growth and forward movement. (1John 5:20)
3. Authentic Witness: Authenticity will draw people to Christ. (Philippians 3:12-14)
4. Life-Altering: QSC pushes clients to explore their comfort zones to expand outward as they grow deeper in their life purpose. (2 Timothy 1:6-7)
5. Humility: All ministry must be clothed in humility. (1 Peter 5:5-6)
6. All-Encompassing: Living a full life encompasses a whole-person approach; mental, emotional, personal, and physical transformation (Luke 10:27).
7. Sanctuary: QSC provides a safe place for clients to question, brainstorm, and grow. (Psalm 27:1)
8. Intimacy: Our relationship with Jesus is our youth ministry. (Psalm 139)
9. Awe-Inspired Wonder: Ministry must allow us to regularly rediscover the astonishment of the vastness of God and His infinite love for us, compel us to seek answers from His Word, and leave room for His continual work in our lives. (Philippians 3:7-16).
10. Creativity: QSC coaches clients to be free to discover and express their God-given creativity (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Coaching Objectives

The QSC objective is to help clients establish the following five components in their lives:
1. Purpose: Centering God in their lives rather than centering their lives upon themselves.
2. Understanding: Growing more and more like Christ, and less and less like the world.
3. Success: Seeing people through the eyes of God, with the heart of God, and with a desire to share God with others.
4. Fellowship: A time of communal growth for the Body of Christ. It can display itself in different aspects of the Christian walk.
5. Service: Taking what the Lord has taught us (internal) and expressing it into the lives of others (external), both believers and non-believers.

#46: Going Somewhere?

Ephesians 4:7-8

11/09/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men."
~Ephesians 4:7-8

Paragraph Intro…

SOOOoooo much to unpack here!

Everybody who puts their trust in Christ as Savior receives grace from God.
Christ apportions grace… that means an allotted measure; not too much, not too little. Juuust right!
Affirmation from Paul that Jesus is the pinnacle of eminence, glory, exaltation, and the height of Heaven itself.
Who the Captives are is an active conversation among theologians. I lean toward the belief that these were saints who were moved from Paradise and into the finality of Heaven itself*.
Pentecost—the day of, and the event of— realized the giving of gifts to men, primarily the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Takeaway for Today

There are a bunch of choices we are invited to make on a daily basis:

Who is Jesus, and how do we respond to the message of salvation? We really don't have an option of creating a messiah made in our own image. We need to embrace with humility a Messiah who made us in His image, and who desires to make us whole by restoring that image that became tarnished.
God supplies all of our needs—spiritual, emotional, and physical. When we sense an area of lacking, we should look inside ourselves before we blame God for leaving us high and dry.
Our identities are found in what takes us captive as well as by what gives us freedom. Christ desires to give us both. Take an assessment of your own captivity/freedom paradox.
As Children of God, our identities are found in Christ. God has gifted each one of us withHimself, and with attributes and aspects that glorify Him and honor others and ourselves—when we use them correctly.

Don't leave Jesus on a shelf or put the gifts you have been given back or away to collect dust. You were made for glory.
