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.

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.

#49: Good Harbor

Ephesians 4:14

11/30/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
~Ephesians 4:14

TAKE REFUGE FROM THE STORM

When I was a kid, I lived in a beautiful and pristine area of shoreline on Lake Michigan. The bay is called Good Harbor, and for good reason: when the waves on the big lake reached their highest during a storm, the two islands of North and South Manitou buffeted the storm on their western shores and provided a place of refuge for the passing freighters to enjoy a place to wait out the tumult. Good Harbor is more than a name for this bay. It is a place of hope when the storms rage.

The first word of today’s verse is the word ‘then.’ So to understand the hope to which we have been called, we also need to recognize the storm that we are instructed to navigate away from.

Unity, faith, knowledge, and maturity can be found in our Good Harbor. But the storms still rage around us.

If you’ve ever been in open water and tossed about by the wind and waves, you have a taste for the feeling of hopelessness. That is the desired outcome of cunning, craftiness, and deceit, which is the driving force to elevate anyone or anything above God.

TODAY'S TAKEAWAY

We sometimes sugarcoat Jesus’ words in John 10:10b—“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”—to be the life that we desire, which includes material blessings, and we ignore the warning about the thieves who seek to “steal and kill and destroy” abundant life.

Infants can be easily fooled. Maturity desires safe harbors.
