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.

MONDAY'S WORD—TUESDAY'S QUESTION—WEDNESDAY'S THOUGHT—THURSDAY'S PRAYER—ETC/WHATEVER

#13: Partly Cloudy with a Chance for Opportunity

Ephesians 1:18-19a

03/17/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.”
~Ephesians 1:18-19a

The Treasure Map of Blessing contains things which are hidden from our eyes, even though the are available and accessible to every one of us who is in Christ Jesus. It is important to remember from last week that Paul is not presenting the Christian faith like a mystery religion or cult, which had ‘secrets’ for the practitioner to learn to gain levels and access to greater secrets.

So why, then, do I say that the Map of Blessing can be hidden from our eyes? The one-word answer is sin. When we decide to call the shots and walk our path away from God's Trwasure Map, the blessings contained within it sometimes fade from our ability for recognition.

Paul's prayer is for the vision of our hearts to receive light; light chases out darkness. The coming of light is a new dawn within our hearts, getting ever brighter and illuminating our being with ever greater display of beauty and the power from which it comes through knowing hope—even through difficult times.

To ‘know the hope’ into which we are invited to experience, it is important that we understand Paul’s choice for the word ‘know’ (’ay-den-ai) is nuanced with feeling, intimacy and experience, rather than choosing gnosis, which is about attaining knowledge on a more data-driven, scholastic approach; hence the gnosis would have been the word choice for the gnostics and the other mystery cultists.

As the Son rises in our hearts, God's light shines for us to grow more deeply in experiencing the Trinity. Hope. Riches. Inheritance. Set apart. Power (like dynamite). Faithful-Believing/Believeful-Faithing…

And clouds are all around us. May we have eyes to see the Light and the willful intention to navigate the storms of sin.

Dive More Deeply

Ok. It's time to cut right to the chase…

Every one of us has a problem with sin. For some of us, the problem is that we don't see a problem, or that we don't recognize there being such a thing as sin.

This week:

Identify five areas in your life where sin has a dynamic hold in your life.

For example, do you find it easy to gossip?
Do you struggle with temptations such as addiction, substance abuse, pornography, gambling, etc?

In your journal, write down the five areas that you have identified.
Confess them to God in prayer, "God, I am sinning in the area of _______, and I am asking for you to move in my life to let these areas have less power in my life.
Identify when these sins take place. Is there a pattern of time or circumstance? When can you impede upon the sin cycle before sin is allowed to take hold?

Read James 1:12-18.
What steps do you need to take to realign your desires for sin to a desire for God?

The cloud of sin is the only barrier which keep us from recognizing the goodness and spiritual blessing that God is freely giving to us.
