JESUS WARNED US,
“I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”
- John 16:33
You may be experiencing that suffering. But are you experiencing that peace? Are you experiencing that victory?
As a Christian life coach and leadership coach, that’s what I equip men to do in the face of their biggest challenges.
Whether marital, workplace, health-related, or spiritual...
And if they’re ready to put in the work.

— Jay Dickerson,
Denominational World Missions Director for Central America
“I reached out to Miles for coaching because ministry life can feel extremely lonely and confusing. Trying to discern spiritual issues, personal issues, workplace issues and then how to address each one of them is not something that I could do on my own. Miles has a way of making be feel heard, holding me accountable to the values and priorities I've established and sending me out with action steps. I knew I wanted to and need to grow but just had no place to start. Miles consistently leads me to find those places. I am incredibly thankful for that hard work that Miles leads me through.”
— Thomas Dennison,
Family Ministries Pastor
“I’ve known Miles to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and someone who is faithful to the Scriptures as the Word of God. I’ve also known him to be someone who I can go to and have gone to for advice, godly wisdom, and help in discerning the voice of the Lord. He definitely is someone who has been faithful to speak into my life at significant times.”

Small Business Owner
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?
Recently, I’ve been coaching a professional athlete retired from the NFL.
His story reminds me of the value of grit and determination. When a team hoists a championship trophy, the euphoria they feel is because of how much work they put into it. But what about two days or two years later?
The luster of money, fame, and accomplishment fades faster than you’d expect.
If you have a rewarding career, it didn’t happen by accident. If you have a joy-filled marriage, it took work to get there. What do you have that’s valuable and hasn’t taken diligence, hard work, and investment?
Everything precious takes time and effort… which makes it even more important to consider the carrot on the end of that stick.
I’m glad my client has taken that challenge.
The Bible’s wisdom is timeless.
It says, “Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win. Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one (1 Corinthians 9:23-25, NET).”
Is the realization of what you’re striving for going to deliver what you really need? That true sense of belonging and knowing that you’re fulfilling your purpose?
You don’t have to win a championship to contend for something great.
And we don’t build anything great without building it step-by-step…
“PROGRESS IS DETERMINED BY THE QUALITY OF YOUR TRAINING AND THE ACTION STEPS YOU TAKE AS A RESULT.”
- COACH MILES STOCK
How’s it going living out your faith in the seven areas of life?
WORK… so many subtopics here that I’ll let you fill in the blanks…
Your FINANCES: Balancing priorities with less stress and more confidence…
Escaping the hamster wheel of burnout to get the REST and recreation you need…
Developing deep, fulfilling CONNECTIONS with your wife, children, and friends based on clear communication (understanding them and yourself better)…
Your Physical HEALTH… What future are you creating with this week’s choices on the plate and in the gym?
INNER CONFLICTS rooted in your past - usually having to do with how you were raised by Mom and Dad…
A WALK WITH GOD where you’re not plagued by guilt but are excited, fueled by his abiding presence and guidance!
For most of us, that’s easier said than done.
So when’s the last time someone took the time to hear you out about how this week’s going—without judgment or criticism?
Not just anyone.
Someone qualified who could help you work through the current challenge or goal until you had a clear plan to move forward and the confidence to put it in place?
God created you with a purpose.
Your story matters and He is good.
You have a role to play in this world that no one else can, because no one else has ever had YOUR MIX of gifts, experiences, specific location in space and history… and people counting on them.
I love watching men take ownership of that and connect more deeply…
With God, their wives, co-workers, and kids to make an impact beyond what they even expected.
This is what we really want, right? But I find most guys haven’t stumbled onto a plan to actually make that work…
Practically. Biblically. And step-by-step.
What is Christian Life Coaching for men?
Some coaches and influencers pour all their energy into one area.
They may dazzle and promise to make you millions in what amounts to a pyramid scheme, but what’s the outcome going to be like on the stress level at home with your wife? Men love talking about success, but how do we define that word in the first place?
The Bible says, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”
That’s why I base my life coaching and leadership coaching on practical and proven techniques, my own journey from adversity to entrepreneurship, my training in Biblical studies and coaching, and a listening relationship with you.
If you want to integrate your Christian values and faith into your executive leadership, career, marriage, parenting, or health but aren’t sure where to start or how to make your goals a reality, working one-on-one with me in Christian coaching could be a great fit.
Men come to me from all kinds of places and countries around the world.
Whether you want to focus on learning how to lead your team in a way that’s more Christlike and effective, improving communication with your spouse, or overcoming immorality, each of my clients gets unlimited access to video-based training in 15-minute segments from some of the world’s best authorities in every coaching package with me.
Because I want to equip you and walk with you each step of the journey between here and your goals.
It all starts where YOU want to make progress. Once you have identified that, we can proceed to casting vision, seeking God, and building habits.
With zero judgment. At your own pace.
COMMON TOPICS I COVER:
Making time for what’s most important when you feel enslaved to what’s urgent
Learning how to lead in ways that motivate your family or team
Finding your calling in God’s kingdom
Understanding your wife’s anger and how to resolve conflicts in a way that brings you closer together instead of leaving you lonely and confused
Gaining victory over habitual sins no matter how much you’ve felt defeated
Making good on diet and exercise habits where you’ve struggled before
Starting a business to invest your gifts and find the excitement of living your purpose
Spiritual formation to experience real joy and peace of mind
This isn’t therapy.
Therapists and other mental health care professionals typically try to diagnose you with a psychological disorder, because if they don’t, insurance doesn’t cover their services.
Some situations call for that.
But I don’t diagnose people with psychological disorders or treat any of those conditions. I don’t provide mental healthcare, medical care, or marriage and family therapy.
Christian coaching is spiritual, goal-based, and forward-looking.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t see a psychologist or mental health care provider at the same time, as long as you understand our differences. Sometimes, depending on the situation, people may seek help from both.
My role in Christian coaching is:
To help strengthen your relationship with God by understanding the Bible’s teachings more clearly, bringing in other resources as needed…
Which clarifies your personal values to build smart goals…
Which helps you develop better action plans and build new habits…
With follow-up on the progress toward your dreams until you find what works best for you.
For years, I’ve watched in awe of God.
Because this coaching process is transforming lives. Partly because it’s relational. But also because it’s led by His Spirit and grace. Unlike some traveling conference speaker, I’ll be here each step of the way to help you troubleshoot the nuts and bolts. We take the transcendent and make it practical.
Right where you need it. From wherever you are.
Along the way, I may recommend books such as Boundaries by Henry Cloud (a Christian psychologist), and/or others depending on the areas you want to work on, not to serve as replacements for professional therapy, but as resources to learn and grow.
Coaching around resources can be really powerful.
If you want to hone skills in one of the seven areas, I love to connect clients with resources for breakthroughs, then help them engineer solid plans to walk them out.
Call me biased, but it’s really fun.
If you’re looking for a potentially transformative experience rooted in biblical values, welcome home. As my clients begin to see changes in their relationships and work, their confidence and sense of fulfillment grow. Their family members notice a difference. Joy and peace happen naturally.
Because the path is finally made clear.
I hope that gives you a little more insight on how I define and do Christian life coaching and leadership coaching for men.
My goal’s to build the process on respect for my clients, Scripture, and prayer. So you can rest assured and experience God. Because it’s not about me.
His Kingdom culture brings "righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17)." Only His grace can change people’s lives.
So I approach each situation carefully and prayerfully, listening to your goals, in order to make a custom plan in partnership with you that you feel comfortable and excited about.

SO… HOW’S IT GOING (REALLY)?
We all have bad days. In fact, sometimes they can be grueling.
But do you have a peace and joy that gets you up in the morning and fuels everything that you do?
Is there a trusted brother in your corner who could process anything with you?
Or do you feel like you bounce between crises like a cog in a machine that someone else is controlling? This is your life.
Who’s running it?
I get it. Sometimes church sermons can make spiritual lessons sound easy.
But often we need time to explore how to integrate them into our daily struggles—especially when we’re having enough trouble getting through the week and staying on top of our responsibilities.
Many of us can remember a time envisioning a life that would glorify God and give us peace but since might have gotten stuck on how that translates in the real world.
You know - that place where things get complicated.
And we feel like we’re flying solo.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
Many people once felt inspired by faith…
But today find themselves overwhelmed and distracted by a perplexing decision. Trapped in a life of boring routine and problematic relationships.
Others feel overwhelmed by their sins.
Or maybe you have found the clarity you need and are pursuing a goal, but it’s been evading your grasp.
Sound familiar? We all can relate. So the question becomes:
Why stay stuck?
Our pastors have great hearts but often are stretched so thin, they simply don’t have enough time to give individualized attention to everyone who needs it at church.
You could see a psychiatrist, but do you really want to be labeled with a psychological disorder and given pills? Of course there’s a time and place for that.
But is that what you need?
Or would you rather hash things out with someone you trust?
Someone who doesn’t see you as damaged or defective, but respects your God-given strengths. That’s Christian Coaching.
Together, we can chart a path forward that both honors God and restores your joy.
Below are some frequently asked questions men often ask about Christian coaching.
IS COACHING FOR ME?
To answer that, just ask yourself:
What’s making me feel the most pressure this week? In that situation…
Am I clear on what God is doing?
Do I have a plan that gives me peace and benefits the people involved?
OR have I fallen into reaction mode, avoiding conflict and somehow hoping it all goes away?
Well, HOPE’s a good place to start… but not a very good strategy.
"The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out." - Proverbs 20:5
AT KINGDOM VANTAGE, MY COACHING DOES NOT:
LECTURE you from the Coach’s experience.
SHAME and condemn you for “under-performing.”
DISPENSE unwelcome advice.
INSTEAD, MY COACHING:
BUILDS a relationship with you based on really listening to understand what you need to change in your organization or life. Whether that’s profound or intensely practical.
DRAWS from your core values, strengths and Scripture to help you explore where God may be leading.
SUPPORTS you in creating action steps that fit your unique personality and maximize your peace and confidence in moving forward.
STAYS COMMITTED to you for the long haul, or as long as you need to achieve the victory you’re seeking.
For many, this is a transformative journey.
WHY NOT COACH YOURSELF?
Well… people talk to themselves all the time—that doesn’t make them smarter. 😂😂😂
Could that be because God never meant us to soldier on in isolation?
As men, we can be fiercely independent.
That’s just part of our strength. But when our goals and challenges become too complex—we only hurt ourselves and those close to us when we insist on not accepting any help from our brothers.
After all, life is a team sport.
But cultural shifts, family dynamics, and rapidly changing technology have added to the already-daily strain of juggling responsibilities, leaving many of us drained with unanswered questions on how to thrive in these confusing times. To live on purpose according to what matters most.
No one feels this more acutely than leaders.
WELCOME TO THE WILD WEST
All of the factors above have led to the recent explosion of Coaching for a variety of topics.
The struggle is finding a trustworthy one.
Many Coaches are poorly untrained or trained in unrealistic modalities.
Though it can offer valuable insights from neuroscience and human behavior—when divorced from Biblical wisdom, much of the secular coaching today promotes a "me-first" philosophy that doesn’t pan out in the real world—and lacks the power to make lasting change.
KINGDOM VANTAGE IS DIFFERENT.
I draw from the best of neuroscience, coaching techniques and leadership principles but submit everything to the authority of Scripture and look to God as our final authority because His Kingdom brings "righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17)."
There is no one like Him. That’s why I strive to keep Christ at the center of every coaching relationship.
