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.

#44: It's On You

Ephesians 4:3

10/26/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
~Ephesians 4:3

IT'S ON YOU

Today, we need to begin by examining the source of unity Paul is pointing toward. It is twofold and clearly stated in the first and last clauses of the sentence.

Make every effort. In the original text, this is a single word that emphasizes a present and active operational dynamic. It is ongoing and continuous, certainly, but there is an emphasis on the present. The idea is to hasten and strive toward one’s best efforts before conflict arises. This is not a reactive word, but a proactive one; be mindful.

…through the bond of peace. In the previous verse, we examined how Paul practically applies different aspects of the fruit of the Spirit. This phrase continues that call to respond to the Spirit’s guidance; peace, the third aspect of the single fruit that leans into the first two aspects of love and joy.

For some of us, conflict comes more naturally than it does for others. Maybe this is a learned pattern of behavior we picked up from our family of origin. Our culture welcomes conflict. Think of how social media elevates and amplifies it (and financially profits from it!). It can be tempting to determine how our own approach to conflict—whether we shy away from it or dive headlong into it without reservation—is a virtue unto our own selves. The reality is that conflict is a natural occurrence in life. The important measure is how we engage in conflict. Today’s verse tells us that even in conflict, we are to keep a bond of peace, and that bond is only made possible through one mindset within us and one source of internal guidance: The Holy Spirit.

To make every effort means we must be both 'pro-actionary' and present in the moment with ourselves and the Holy Spirit. And how does one develop this mindset? Through intentionality and through prayer.

HOMEWORK

Write down the names of persons with whom you have regular conflicts. Think about situations at work or within your home life that ‘stir your pot’ and invite you to abandon unity for the sake of your own satisfying of the sin nature *be honest with yourself: deep down, you know that is exactly what the problem is behind your addiction to conflict).

Think about the person/situation and allow yourself to feel where the tension is in your body as your mind plays out a past interaction. This is your body’s way of telling you what your mid-brain is feeling. Recognize the warning signs. In this way, you can develop the skills necessary to be proactive.
