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? And 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.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TODAY?

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.

IS COACHING FOR ME?

To answer that, just ask yourself:

1. What’s making me feel the most pressure this week? In that situation…

2. Am I clear on what God is doing?

3. Do I have a plan that gives me peace and benefits the people involved?

4. 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.

So why not just 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 the pandemic, cultural shifts, and rapidly changing technology have added to the already-daily strain of financial, family and work-life balance, leaving many of us drained, with unanswered questions on how to thrive in confusing times according to what’s most important to us. 

No one feels this more acutely than leaders.
