Frequently Asked Questions

Coaching for ministry leaders is a partnership designed to help you navigate personal and professional challenges. It's a space to reflect, set goals, and gain clarity with someone who understands the unique pressures of ministry.

Coaching focuses on forward movement, helping you identify and pursue your goals. It’s not about diagnosing or addressing deep emotional or mental health issues, which are better suited for therapy or counseling. Think of it as having a partner in personal development and ministry growth.

Anything that’s on your mind! Common topics include leadership challenges, burnout, work-life balance, decision-making, personal growth, and navigating tough ministry situations.

Currently, I focus on one-on-one coaching, as it allows for a more personalized approach tailored to your specific needs.

Yes, everything we discuss during coaching sessions is kept confidential. Your trust is incredibly important to me, and I provide a safe and private space for you to share openly.

However, there are a few exceptions to confidentiality that I am legally and ethically bound to uphold:

• If you disclose that you are planning to harm yourself or others, I am required to take steps to ensure safety, which may include notifying appropriate authorities or seeking additional support for you.
• If you share information about abuse or neglect involving a minor, an elderly person, or a vulnerable adult, I am required to report this to the appropriate authorities.

These situations are rare, and my primary goal is always to support you while ensuring safety for everyone involved. If you have any concerns about confidentiality, feel free to ask—I’d be happy to clarify.

It’s simple! You can use the contact form on the site, email me directly, or give me a call. We’ll find a time that works for both of us.

This call is all about seeing if we’re a good fit. We’ll discuss what you’re looking for, how coaching works, and answer any questions you have—no pressure, no commitment.

Bring a clear idea of what you want to talk about or work on. If you’re unsure, that’s okay too. We’ll figure it out together.

Not at all. You can schedule sessions as needed, whether it’s one at a time or more regularly.

I’ll share the specific rates during our discovery call, but my goal is to make coaching accessible for pastors and ministry leaders. Feel free to ask about flexible options.

I accept major credit cards, online payments, and checks.

In many cases, yes. You may want to check with your church or tax advisor for specifics.

Each session lasts about 50 minutes, giving us time to dig into the challenges you’re facing and develop a plan forward.

That’s entirely up to you. Some ministry leaders prefer weekly sessions for ongoing accountability, while others check in monthly or as needed.

Yes! Ministry often blurs the line between the personal and professional. Coaching gives you a safe space to address both.

Life happens—I get it. If you need to cancel or reschedule, just let me know at least 24 hours in advance.

Yes, but in a subtle and natural way. I aim to honor your faith and use Scripture as a foundation without making it the focus unless you specifically request it.

I respect that each leader has their own beliefs and traditions. My goal is to support you in your ministry, no matter your denomination or theology.

Yes. Coaching helps you align your faith with your leadership style, allowing you to lead with integrity and purpose.

Yes, Zoom is my primary platform. It’s easy to use and allows us to connect from anywhere. If you prefer another platform, we can discuss options. We can even switch to a phone call if needed. Flexibility is key.

Yes, with mutual agreement. Recording can be a helpful tool to reflect on our conversations.

Coaching is for any pastor or ministry leader who wants support in navigating challenges, making decisions, or finding balance in ministry. Whether you’re facing burnout, seeking clarity, or just need someone to talk things through with, coaching can help.

Absolutely! I work with pastors and ministry leaders from various backgrounds, denominations, and even across borders. Ministry is a universal calling, and I’m here to support you.

Yes, as appropriate,  I’ll share practical tools, reflection prompts, or other resources that align with what we discuss in our sessions.
