The Trusted Pastor

1-on-1 Coaching

Coaching pastors to build and keep the trust their ministry runs on.

Most of what makes pastoral ministry hard is downstream of trust. The trust your staff have in you. The trust your elders extend before they speak honestly. The trust your spouse has that ministry is not eating you alive. Coaching is a structured, confidential space to work the actual problem — staff dynamics, board pressure, succession, conflict, the slow drift of burnout — with someone who knows the terrain, and won't pretend the easy answer is the right one.

What we'll work on

Trust

Building (or rebuilding) it

When trust has been damaged — by you, by a predecessor, by circumstance — the path back is rarely loud. We'll find it.

Team

Staff and elder dynamics

Hiring, firing, alignment, and the quiet conflicts in leadership that shape and define culture. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Self

Sustainability and identity

The version of you that started ministry isn't the one who'll finish it. We'll work on the process together.

Season

Transitions and decisions

Leaving, staying, planting, succession. These big decisions carry weightiness, and coaching can help you carry the load.

How it works

  1. 01

    Intro call

    A free 30-minute conversation so we both get a feel for whether this is the right fit. No pressure either way.

  2. 02

    Coaching sessions

    Hour-long sessions, usually every two to three weeks. Video or phone. You bring the agenda; I'll bring the questions.

  3. 03

    Between sessions

    Email and text access for the in-between moments — the late-night decision, the email you're not sure how to send.

Start with a conversation.

The intro call is free. Pick a time that works.
