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.

ABOUT QSC

Mission. Core Values. Coaching Objectives.
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.

#2: Who Are You?

12/30/2024 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:”
~Ephesians 1:1

Paul identifies himself as an apostle—one sent—by the willful act of God. God called him and invited him into a role of ministry to others on God’s behalf. Paul was invited to pick up his pen and write the very words of God as they were breathed into him by the willful act of the Holy Spirit. And then he moved his body and served in various ways, following the lead and direction of the One who called him.

I wonder what you and I have been invited into? What willful act has the Trinity purposed for us to do, and will we be faithful in our response?

The saints in Ephesus were called just that—‘faithful in Jesus Christ.’ They responded to the call… Not always perfectly, not even every time they were called. Maybe Paul called them faithful because of who they are, and not because of what they have or have not done.

Who are you? Paul says he is ‘one sent.’ So are the Ephesian believers. So… Who are you?

Dive More Deeply

This week, spend some time on each of the following practices:

Take out your purse or wallet and empty it of the contents. As you put each one back in, contemplate what each one says about you and ask yourself if you feel that statement is true. For example: As you put your credit card away, the thought might come to you that you are a consumer. What are the implications of this thought? Is it true, and if so, to what extent? Are you a debtor? To whom or Whom are you in debt? Does the sixteen-digit number reflect who you are (as just a number), or are you something more to God?
As you look at your driver's license or other piece of identification issued to you, write down as many rights and privileges that you can think of that come with being recognized as a citizen of the city, state, or country in which you live. (Perhaps your identification was issued in a different state or country in which you now reside… what thoughts come to you in light of this).
Spend the time you would normally use for listening to music, news, or podcasts during your daily commute to think about what makes you uniquely you… when you arrive at your destination, write down whatever has come to mind.
Make time with someone close to you—a close friend, family member, your spouse—and share with them your thoughts about your identity. Ask them to share back—how they receive your thoughts about yourself, and perhaps any insights they may have into their own identity. Spend time listening to one another.
Consider how might your life be different if you lived more fully into the identity that God has given to you as opposed to the identity you've assumed from your friends, family, society, and even yourself. What is keeping you from realizing God's identity for you? Write down these inhibitors, and as you spend time in prayer ask God to remove these barriers as you receive the strength to let them go from your own grasp.
