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.

#4: Whatcha Got?

Ephesians 1:3

01/13/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”
~Ephesians 1:3

Previously, I talked about how grace and peace are known through experiencing them, and that we experience them when we experience the Trinity in our lives. The Trinity is always there. God is imminent as well as transcendent. God is with us in communion and for us in position.

Paul now tells us that we are blessed in the heavenly realms. Is this when we commune with God? I notice that he is not saying anything about being blessed in an earthly sense… What are these blessings? Whatever they are, we are told that we have ALL of them; God is not holding back.

I wonder what, at times, causes us to hold back on communing with God, from experiencing grace and peace, and what keeps us from diving into the spiritual blessing… and also what removes us from focussing on the earthly blessings? God is deserving of our praise; He is not only the Author of every good and perfect gift from above… He is a Perfect Gift from above. Experiencing God is the gateway to every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Dive More Deeply

One spiritual practice that I have incorporated into my time with God is the daily practice of Morning Intentions. This can be done anywhere and at any time, and requires no preparation other than having a place to journal your work. You could even use your phone for notes to make this practice more convenient so as to make it a regular practice. The practice of Morning Intentions is as simple as asking yourself these three questions:

What are three things I am grateful for?
What are three things that would make today a great day for me?
Where do I find myself located in my thoughts and emotions right now?

Part of identifying our blessings in both the earthly and heavenly realms happens when we recognize them on a daily basis. Developing an attitude of gratitude for our day is like putting on the thing that helps us see clearly when we first wake up. You know what it is like to rise from bed and to wash the sleep from your eyes, maybe put you glasses on or put your contact lenses in—if you need corrective lenses, or sipping that first cup of coffee. Gratitude is the sense through which we discover our gifts, and not just how we acknowledge them.

This week, consider bringing this practice into your morning regiment for getting ready for the day. Take the time that you need to do it well. Don't rush through it or make it become 'routine' or it may lose its impact on you. Record your answers and reflect upon them throughout the day. In the future, I'll discuss other spiritual disciplines which will incorporate this one for an even more impacting result on your road to discovery and growth.
