  • "Meeting with Ben became the highlight of my week . . ."

    “Meeting with Ben quickly became a highlight of my week. His counsel and thoughtful questions have pushed me to discover clarity and identify next steps. I can track the breakthroughs in our sessions to several big decisions that have positively impacted my faith, my family, my business and my personal development.

    I recommend him to busy professionals who are striving to be the best they can be for those who depend upon them.”

    DOUG C. | CEO | VENTURE CAPITAL FIRM

  • "I highly recommend him to anyone . . ."

    “When I started working with Ben I was overwhelmed with anxiety, not sleeping well, and always behind at work. Within 6 months Ben was able to unpack things in my world that I could never have figured out on my own. 
My anxiety is nearly gone, I'm sleeping well, and after almost 20 years at the same company, I have learned to delegate well.

    Ben has helped me prepare for the next 20 years of executive leadership that is also balanced with a healthy home life. I highly recommend him to anyone.

  • " I was saved from making a series of decisions I would have regretted . . . "

    “The very first meeting my heart did a 180 unlike I’ve ever experienced. I was saved from making a series of decisions I would have regretted for years.

    Subsequently, I have moved from a place of anger and discouragement to hope and excitement for the future. I am taking new steps that are not only healing for my soul, but also helping me become a person who will help others experience healing in their souls.”

    ROBERT H. | MANAGER | CONSTRUCTION

  • "I was on the edge of burnout . . ."

    “I can say without a doubt that my ministry, my marriage, my family, and my relationship with God are in a vastly improved place as a result of my time with Ben.

    I was on the edge of severe burnout, struggling with my mental health, and feeling distant from the Lord. Ben was able to provide counsel, wisdom, tools, and guidance to help bring me not only to a place of healing, but on a path where I can thrive in all areas of my life and feel like I can move forward with renewed strength and energy.

    Not only am I benefitting personally, but my family, and the thousands of people we reach through our ministry are receiving the benefits of Ben's coaching as well.”

    MATT S. | EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR | NON-PROFIT

  • "I've been in traditional psychotherapy for 20 years . . . "

    “Coaching with Ben has been a game-changer for me, my ministry, and my family. I've been in traditional psychotherapy for 20 years and, while it was helpful and necessary, it was my coaching work with Ben that really helped me turn a corner toward the Lord in this last year. I've reached levels of self-awareness and illuminated blind spots in a way I couldn't have hoped for before doing this important work.”

    MATT F. | PASTORAL CARE | MINISTRY

  • “I can’t really put into words just how meaningful . . . "

    “I can’t really put into words just how meaningful and helpful these past 6 months of coaching sessions have been for me. I honestly think they’ve moved me into the most significant period of growth and self-discovery I’ve ever experienced in my life.”

    ERIC J. | WORSHIP LEADER | MINISTRY

    JON S. | MISSIONARY | MINISTRY

  • "It has been a great investment . . ."

    “Ben has been incredibly helpful in these past months in helping me gain understanding of my story, identify where I may not be seeing things correctly, and offering encouragement, compassion, and tools to rest in God's grace and Jesus' care for me. I highly recommend coaching with Ben. It has been a great investment and he has been a great help through a very challenging time in my life.”

    DREW T. | FOUNDER | ACCOUNTING

  • "The tools he has recommended have been crucial to my health as a leader . . ."

    “Working with Ben has been an incredible gift to my pastoral ministry, marriage, and personal life. I began a coaching and counseling relationship with Ben before some unexpected major life events, and Ben was impactful in navigating me through this season with Godly wisdom and informed counsel. The tools he has recommended have been crucial to my health as a leader.”
