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.

#10: (NOT) For Sale...

Ephesians 1:13-14

02/24/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.”
~Ephesians 1:13-14

Previously, we examined how “He chose us… we get to choose back” when considering our intentional relationship with God. This is our response-ability… an ability to respond because of who we now have become in Christ as the New Creations that we have become, and that we now and forevermore bear a recognizable seal of blessing (referred to in verse 1:3) which we experience in this life, and will experience even more greatly in the next.

This week, We are going to explore what I hope will be a paradigm shift for you; one that will broaden your context on your value and importance.

"God owns me."

How does that statement make you feel? Say it to yourself three times, slowly… “God owns me.” Go ahead! Now consider as many ramifications to that statement as you can. Write them down… Take some time to do this right now. Give yourself perhaps 10-15 minutes for this exercise, then come back.

Do you have a list? What types of areas of your life do your responses point you to? Relationships? Your possessions? Your future or your goals? Maybe your job or your leisure time is impacted by what you wrote down. Spend some time looking at your list and how what you identified impact your relationship with God and impact your relationship with each other.

Now, say it out loud, "God owns me." Say it out loud two more times. Go stand in front of a mirror and look yourself in the eyes while saying aloud three more times (I'm serious!). How is this truth, the ‘gospel of your salvation’ impacting the way you think and feel about yourself? About others?

I double-dog-dare you to go up to someone you know, someone you are comfortable with, and say to them aloud, “God owns me!” and see how they respond. What is their response-ability to you displaying your own response-ability?

Dive More Deeply

Explore these ideas this week:

Carry the thought into your week that God owns you. Perhaps you might wish to keep your list that you've just written with you so that you can add to it and further contemplate your life and God's plan for you.
Include these things in your prayer conversations with God.
Consider others and their relationship with God. If God owns you, what does this reality say about them?
