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.

#53: (Don't) Follow Your Heart

Ephesians 4:18

12/27/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
~Ephesians 4:18

THE BEATING HEART…

In music, the beat is the steady, consistent, underlying pulse that drives the song. Sometimes at the beginning of a recording, we can hear someone—usually the musician leading the rest of the band—announcing the tempo of the beat (and a one, and a two, and a…).

I read once that humans can comprehend only a spectrum-range of beats per minute—the lowest is 24-33 BPM, and the highest is 240-300 BPM. The medical community suggests that the average resting heartbeat is 60 to 100 beats per minute for a healthy person. Athletes in top physical condition can register as low as 40 beats per minute.

What matters most is whether the heart is doing its job efficiently. An unhealthy heart may still beat, but the outcome of its efforts is a better determining factor.

THAT DRIVES THE RHYTHM…

If beat drives music, then rhythm is what overlays it and brings body to the song… It’s how the song flows. Like blood through the veins, propelled by the beating heart, so the rhythm of a song is propelled by the underlying beat. Bring the beat and the rhythm together, and you have a sound that will move you.

THAT MOVES LIFE

Paul uses an interesting term at the end of this verse—due to the hardening of their hearts. This hardening—which can also be translated as stubbornness, callousness, or insensibility—indicates an outcome based upon culpability in making poor decisions that ignore or avoid the kind of spirit-filled life God promises us when we turn to Him as Savior.

Obviously, we cannot understand this verse apart from the context of the previous one.

To borrow from the previous commentary, continuing to desire trainwrecks over the abundant life God is offering us through Jesus is a path God will allow us to take that will soon become habitual sin.

What is your life telling you about the condition of your heart? Are you dancing to the tune of habitual sin, addiction, misdirection, and mental/emotional burdens?
