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.

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

#17: Gratifed or Grateful?

04/14/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

"All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath."
~Ephesians 2:3

All of us… Each and every one of us has participated and experienced a love affair with sin. It beckoned, and we answered. And when we answered, we fed that empty place within us that desired intimacy, belonging, life, and autonomy with the very poison of our own deadly condition.

Death is not life… and that may seem like a rather non-profound statement—or at least, a rhetorically obvious one—but it really is something we should contemplate.

Drinking from the well of poison does not quench our spiritual thirst. It teases our tastebuds of death, and makes the ink on God’s Map of Blessing be perceived with less vibrancy.

God is life. The mark of death receives God’s wrath, even as the compassion of the Trinity is extended through an invitation to repent and be filled with living water.

And yet… we still sin; poison in our veins. Shame veils our hearts. Joy and peace are interrupted.

Grace whispers and Repentance calls to us as Forgiveness offers to heal us and Redemption renews us… all blessings on the Trinity’s Map to remind us of what we saw in verse 1:7-8: We are Beloved.

Dive More Deeply

Do you have a health regimen to which you adhere? Are you contemplating things like:

Diet & Nutrition
Exercise
Sleep
Hydration
Environmental toxins

Each of the above has an impact on more than just our physical bodies. Our mental, emotional, and spiritual lives are affected as well. Making small improvements to each of these areas helps to improve our overall quality of life. In the long run, how we nurture our bodies and avoid toxins may also ward off potentially deadly diseases.

So, rewarding ourselves with a doughnut actually has a metaphoric connection to when we reward ourselves with ‘just a little sin’ when we feel that ‘no one is going to suffer from it’ beside ourselves.

Not true. We are feeding the environment within us that may lead one day to spiritual cancer.

The best-lived life is the intentional life.

This Week

Examine your life and its routines. Using the health regiment matrix above, determine ways you need to make additions or deletions to your health regimen that would go beyond the realm of the physical and include mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Monday: Diet & nutrition.

What healthy choices could you make to remove the junk and supply the nutrients your life needs?
Write a list of changes you with to make and a plan for how to implement those changes.

Tuesday: Exercise. Exercising is ideas taking action.

What can you do to put your faith into exercise? Don’t forget to include things that you can stop doing.

Wednesday: Sleep. Time to rest and rejuvenate.

Consider implementing any of the following into your rhythms…
Structure a sabbath from technology. This could be anything with a screen for 24 hours.
Go to bed a half hour earlier and get up a half hour later.
Disconnect from any news outlets and social media for a determined period of time. This could be done during certain times of the day, certain days of the week, or perhaps only allowing yourself a certain day of the week to connect to the outside world.

Thursday: Hydration. Studies show that when we feel lethargic or hungry, it is our body’s way of telling us that we are dehydrating.

Measure the amount of time you spend in Scripture per day.
Be intentional with your conversations by purposely engaging with a co-worker or complete stranger in a conversation unrelated to how you are encountering them. Yes… talking about the weather or asking if they have any plans for the weekend is allowed!

Friday: Remove environmental toxins.

You’ve lived your week with more intention. Now you have a deeper insight into what some of the toxins are that pollute you living life to the full. You know what to do!
