Ready to Thrive in Youth Ministry? Experience Real Change with Tailored Coaching!

As a youth pastor with over 25 years of experience and certification from the National Association of Youth Ministry, I’m here to help you navigate the challenges and thrive in ministry through personalized, professional coaching.

  • Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of youth ministry?
  • Do you struggle with burnout and uncertainty about the future of your ministry?
  • Is it hard to find support and guidance tailored specifically to your ministry context? 
I’ve been in your shoes. I know how hard it can be to juggle everything while feeling like you’re not growing personally or professionally. That’s why I’m not just offering advice—I’m offering a certified coaching experience that’s designed to help you navigate the unique challenges of youth ministry.

With certification from the National Association of Youth Ministry (NAYM), I bring practical experience and a commitment to working collaboratively with you as we focus on what matters most for your growth and development in youth ministry.

What is Youth Ministry Coaching? 

Youth ministry coaching is a structured, intentional process designed to help you experience outcome-based growth. Together, we’ll articulate your current reality, create measurable goals, and work toward your preferred future in ministry and life. Unlike many “coaches” without formal training, my certification through the National Association of Youth Ministry ensures that our sessions follow a proven process tailored for ministry leaders like you.

Coaching isn’t about giving you answers—it’s about empowering you to discover what’s next for your life and ministry.

What you’ll get:

When you sign up for coaching with me, you’re not just getting a conversation or advice—you’e getting a transformational experience. I offer several coaching options to fit your needs. Here’s what you can expect:

✔︎ One-Time Consultation ($100/session): Perfect for addressing immediate concerns and making progress on a specific issue.

✔︎ 3-Month Coaching Contract ($300 total): Includes 3 monthly sessions.

We’ll work together to set actionable goals and start moving you toward growth.

✔︎ 6-Month Coaching Contract ($500 total): Includes 6 monthly sessions.

A deeper, more sustained coaching experience with long-term strategies for success.

**Each package includes monthly phone or video calls, as well as email follow-ups, ensuring that you’re supported every step of the way.**

Why Choose Certified Coaching?

Many coaches offer advice, but few are formally trained and certified like I am. My certification from the National Association of Youth Ministry means you’re getting real, professional guidance that’s rooted in proven coaching techniques.

Can You Afford It?

Think of coaching as an investment in your ministry and your future. For just $100 a session, you’ll receive personalized guidance that’s tailored to your unique challenges and goals.

What if I’m Not Sure What I Need?

That’s okay! During our first call, we’ll work together to figure out your biggest pain points, and I’ll help you set realistic, measurable goals. The entire process is designed to meet you where you are.

"After 15 years of bi-vocational ministry, transitioning to full-time left me feeling uncertain and overwhelmed. Coaching with Jody restored my confidence and passion for youth ministry. His guidance helped me refocus on the 'why' behind what I do, with grace, vision, and biblical wisdom. I’m excited for the future and grateful for Jody’s support!"
