“I scheduled time with Brian for tools to help me when I am teetering in the area of offense. While engaged in a conversation that was triggering, I jumped to a place of offense, and this caused me to react in the moment with defensiveness. When I met with Brian, he helped me with tools to slow down in a moment, acknowledge what is happening internally, and ask myself what’s happening before I respond out of offense. Talking with Brian also brought to light the root cause of this tendency. I was able to walk through some healing of a past belief system, which will allow me to have greater victory in this area. I desire to be a woman who is sure of her identity and cannot be shaken by circumstances. These tools Brian has offered to me will help me adjust my thinking to ensure my behavior and character align with how I want to live as a human being.”

“Coaching with Brian helped me stabilize during one of the hardest seasons of my life. His ability to listen deeply, speak truth with compassion, and ground our conversations in Scripture gave me clarity and strength I didn’t have before. He helped me rediscover my identity and make sense of things I had carried for years. I’m grateful for the impact he has had on healing.”

“In just 2 sessions Brian led me to see that I was in a co-dependent relationship with my son-in-law after my daughter died. The strategies he laid out for me helped me build a healthy relationship. I could now easily identify and enforce boundaries. Additionally, he identified caregiver burnout and had a list of things to help me take better care if myself. This is helping. Im still working on this and was encouraged by Brian’s faith that I could do it.
