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.

#8: Get A Life

Ephesians 1:9-10

02/10/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

“And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.”
~Ephesians 1:9-10

The Treasure Map of Blessings in Christ is a revealing of God to us, in addition to the revealing of God within and around us. The wisdom and understanding we have received and now have access to via our New Creation* identity allow us to know God the Giver in new and previously unfathomable ways. It pleases God for us to explore His map and to become more intimate with our knowledge and experience of the Trinity. It pleases God for us to explore Him.

As New Creations, we now know what it means to be God’s children because Jesus has made it known to us. We know what it is to die, to be raised back again in this life, and to function within the mystery of God’s willing us into a new relationship that is restoring us, day by day.

God not only has a plan for me, but He also has a plan through me. God not only has a plan for us, but He also has a plan through us. As we allow ourselves to be shaped and transformed by the Holy Spirit, we are simultaneously being invited to shape and transform the restoration of the Fall… all of which is orchestrated and revealed through Christ.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus is recorded as saying, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). The fullness of life is experienced in and through the gifts of God received in relationship to Jesus Christ.** When we deny those gifts, that spiritually-full life becomes stolen and perverted.

God in Christ, Spirit in Truth and in Love, indwelling and redeeming and making all things new through co-creation with the Created.

Unfathomable. Mysterious. Marvelous. Inviting. And the invitation is always open…

Dive More Deeply

Spend time contemplating the following:

How is your life different today than it was five years ago?

What has changed, for better or for worse?
What has remained the same, for better or for worse?

If you could go back five years and encourage yourself to make 5 changes in your life back then, what would they be?

What is stopping you from making those changes today?

How often during the day do you see God moving in your life?

Is there a correlation to the number of times you see God moving in your life to the amount of times you are searching God out during your day? How might this change?

Go back and read your morning intentions and evening reflections that you have recorded.

Are there patterns to your thoughts? Write down a paragraph about what you observe.

As you pray this week, ask God to reveal what changes need to be made in your life for you to know Him better, and then act on those changes throughout your day.
