Lead Like John
John Wooden, one of the greatest coaches of all time,

didn’t just build championship teams — he built men.

Even at 94, long after retiring, he made himself available

as a coaching assistant, offering wisdom, support, and

perspective to help others grow.

​

After four decades of watching Jesus transform lives,

I’m making myself available in the same way — to come

alongside you and your church.

​

I regularly talk with pastors who feel frustrated that many

faithful attenders never grow into active disciples who live out their faith beyond the church walls. Your desire to make mature disciples who reflect Jesus in your community is deeply important.

​

The goal the Apostle Paul described in Ephesians 4:13 is clear: helping people grow into the fullness of Christ — becoming His presence, personality, and power right where they live.

​

As Coach Wooden wisely said: “Failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be.”

​

If you’d like some help turning your vision for discipleship into something practical and sustainable, I’d be glad to partner with you. Here’s how we can get started together:

• Develop a simple, clear Discipleship Story — a spiritual growth pathway that’s easy for your people to understand and follow.

• Build practical timelines and habits that keep discipleship at the center of church life.

• Identify and equip key catalysts — trusted people in your church who can help spark a discipleship movement.

• Set meaningful milestones so you can track progress, celebrate wins, and keep moving forward.

There’s no time to waste. As my mom used to say, “To fail to plan is to plan to fail.”

I’d love to help. Reach out anytime — I’m here to support you.
