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.

#21: Created to Create

05/12/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
~Ephesians 2:10

If I were to attempt to translate this passage myself from the original Greek, I might say it this way:

“For of Him, we are existing and created things in Christ Jesus made to create and build works of goodness, which God prepared ahead of time so that we might walk in them.”

The Creative Trinity is the causation of our existence and free wills us to have creativity ourselves, located in one member of the Trinity, to do works of goodness designed and prepared by another member of the Trinity, that we might walk with the goodness that the Trinity not only desires from us but for us.

Doing things well. Doing things being led by the Spirit of God (the third member of the Trinity). Doing things with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control as a response to the invitation of the Divine Creator to be more than just created beings, but to become co-creators of goodness and light in a world impeded by darkness.

Meanwhile, grace and peace are also experienced internally by our outwardly moving and prepared in advance responses to the Trinity. Wrap your head around THAT!

Dive More Deeply

Each one of us was made for a purpose, just as our purposes were made for us. Part of living life to the full involves an exploration of life to discover the purposes to which we have been called. We can only do this when we accept the One who purposed us and become transformed into the person God has invited us to become.

Our creativity is a gift. Our lives are a gift. The challenges and obstacles that cause us to struggle and lean into God are gifts. The Author of our lives and our faith is actively involved in our story.

This Week

As you practice the other exercises from previous weeks…

Consider the gift of your life. Your life has purpose and meaning.
Contemplate that you yourself are a gift; to others, to God, and even to yourself.
As you Pray, ask God to reveal His will in your life*.
Write down ten things you would like to accomplish in your life.

Keep the list no longer than ten.
When you are finished, underline the top three that you would like to accomplish as a priority.
Of the ten, circle the one that you think you could accomplish the soonest to today.
Make the one you circled your top priority, and get it accomplished this month.
Pick the top thing you want to accomplish from your top three and begin making a plan and exploring what resources you will need to accomplish it.
Circle the next goal that you can accomplish in the shortest amount of time—it might be one of your top three!—and get to work on completing it ASAP.

Now go conquer the week!

*There is a difference between asking God to reveal His will IN your life and FOR your life. The first one conveys a constant activity of including God in the equation, and the second conveys a summation or final destination. Living life to the fullest means involving God's will IN our lives each day.
