WHY JUST EXIST, WHEN YOU CAN LEAD
FROM GOD’S
POINT OF VIEW?
Hey, I’m Christian Life Coach and Leadership Coach Miles Stock.
I help men succeed in work, health, and relationships without losing the war for their soul.
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.
Q: What is Christian Life Coaching for men?
Some coaches and influencers pour all their energy into one area.
For example, some promise to make you millions in their pyramid scheme, but what’s the outcome going to be like on the stress level at home with your wife?
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 a cohesive, practical plan called the 7x7.
The 7x7 is my Christian coaching framework for understanding the major themes of Scripture and how to make them practical in daily life.
We do this by understanding the Seven “Greats” God’s laid out in His Word (the Great Creator, Great Investment, Greatest Commandment, Gospel, Compassion, Commission, and Hope) in all Seven Areas of Life. As you can imagine, this is a process.
It doesn’t happen overnight. But is that really a surprise?
What do you have that’s really valuable that hasn’t taken diligence, hard work, and investment?
Everything precious takes time and effort. But the effort and time we put into our goals is actually what makes the outcome fulfilling. When a NBA or NFL team hoists that championship trophy, the euphoria they feel in that moment is because of how much they knew went into it!

If you have a rewarding career, that didn’t just happen by accident. If you have a great marriage, it took a lot of hard work. If you have a great relationship with your children, it took a lot of investment.
You don’t have to win an NBA championship to contend for something great.
“I do all these things because of the gospel, so that I can be a participant in it. 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).
And we don’t build anything great without building it step-by-step.
That’s why I’m here along with your community 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 proceed to casting vision, seeking God, and building habits.
With zero judgment. And at your pace.
Is this for you?
Keep in mind that some things can only be treated by a professional in another field. I do not provide mental healthcare, medical care, or marriage and family therapy.
If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, or any medical or mental healthcare problems, you should seek out the appropriate licensed professional. I do not treat anxiety, depression, or any medical issues.
Coaching provides a complementary role to those other fields. It’s spiritual, goal-based, and forward-looking. That’s why sometimes clients seek help from more than one type of person.
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, you’ve come to the right place. As my clients begin to see changes in their relationships and work, their confidence and sense of fulfillment grow. Family members start to see a difference.
Gradually, the course for the future’s more clear.
Hopefully, that gives you a bit more understanding 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 more deeply. Because it’s not about me.
Only His Kingdom produces "righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17).”

“Miles is such an empathetic and insightful coach that I look forward to more opportunities to having him coach me. His powerful questions really cause you to think through the topic on which you are focusing.”
— Jay Dickerson,
Assemblies of God 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 am very appreciative of the time spent with Miles as my coach. He was very attentive, focused and truly committed to helping coach me to success. His attention to my situations helped keep me focused and moving forward and I am certainly better for having spent time with him.”
— Scott Tischler, Executive Management Consultant and Lead Pastor at Life Church

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.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND COUNSELING?
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.
