My Journey to Becoming a Christian Health and Wellness Coach for Men of Faith

What is a Christian Health and Wellness Coach?

Christian health coaching is a Christ-centered partnership between the client and the coach that helps the client steward their health for God’s glory and for a higher quality of life.
It’s not just about building muscle or eating better — it’s about aligning every part of your life with God’s will. Your body, mind, and spirit were created by God to serve Him, and when one of those areas falls out of balance, it affects the rest.

Too often, men today are burning out, giving up, or living far below their God given potential — not necessarily because they lack faith, but because they lack structure, discipline, and accountability rooted in that faith. God calls us to something greater…

In 1 Corinthians 9:27, Paul writes, “I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.”
That’s what Christian health coaching is about! Learning to master the body so it serves the Spirit, not the other way around.

As your coach, my goal isn’t to give you a list of rules or a trendy fitness plan. It’s to help you discover how your health and your walk with God work together — how caring for your body can actually strengthen your faith, your confidence, your leadership, and your ability to serve others.

This is where physical strength meets spiritual purpose.
This is where men of faith rise up and take stewardship of their lives seriously — over their time, energy, and health — all for the glory of God.

Why Did I Become a Christian Health and Wellness Coach?

Becoming a Christian health and wellness coach isn’t just a career choice for me — it is a calling. Coaching aligns deeply with my core values of loving people and helping them grow closer to Jesus. It gives me a tangible way to live out what God has placed on my heart: to educate, to encourage, and to walk alongside others as they grow in faith and holistic living.

God has called us not only to preach the gospel but to live it out — to embody His love in the way we serve others. Through coaching, I get to do exactly that. I’m able to use the gifts of teaching, encouragement, and counsel that He’s given me to help others experience transformation — not just physically, but spiritually.

Coaching is more than a job; it’s ministry in motion. Every conversation, every session, every breakthrough moment with a client is a chance to point someone closer to Christ.

It also allows me to see the fruit of people growing stronger in both body and faith. My dream is this; to see men become more like Jesus, to see them healthy, disciplined, and leading their families well.

The best outcome I can imagine is this: lives changed, families strengthened, the kingdom of God expanded — and along the way, a community of godly men rising up together in strength, stewardship, and brotherhood.

Why You Might Need a Coach

Following Jesus has never been easy, and neither is staying healthy. You might wake up each day knowing you want to change, but not knowing where to start. Maybe you’ve tried working out before but lost motivation after a few weeks. Maybe you’ve wanted to eat better, but between busy schedules, lack of motivation, lack of knowledge, easy fast food, and stress, it just hasn’t happened.

You might very well be lazy — or you’re just human. Discipline doesn’t happen overnight, and transformation takes guidance and accountability.

That’s where a Christian health coach steps in. A good coach helps you sort through all the noise — the fitness trends, the diets, the seemingly infinite conflicting voices — and assists you to get focused on what really matters: honoring God with your body, mind, and spirit.

When you work with a coach, you’re not just signing up for workouts and meal plans. You’re building habits of stewardship, consistency, and faith. You’re learning how to view health not as vanity, but as worship. You’re developing discipline that impacts every part of your life — your walk with Christ, your relationships, your work, and your calling.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
Having a Christ-centered coach in your corner means you’ll have a brother who challenges you, encourages you, and keeps you accountable — not just to your goals, but to your purpose.

Why Should I Be Your Coach?

Now that you know what Christian health and wellness coaching is — and maybe you’ve started to think about what it could mean for you — you might be wondering:
“Why should I choose you as my coach and not some other guy on the internet?”

That’s a fair question.

First off I’m not here just to sell you a program. I genuinely care about you — not just as a client, but as my brother in Christ. Seeing you draw closer to Jesus while becoming stronger, healthier, and more disciplined brings me deep joy.

I don’t simply want to help you change how you look or manage a condition. I want to help you live a life that reflects Christ in every area — body, mind, and spirit. I want to see your physical growth tied directly to your spiritual growth, because the two are deeply connected.

I’m also not just talking the talk. As an ACE-Certified Health Coach, I’m trained and equipped to help you build real, lasting change in your lifestyle. Many “coaches” out there lack the credentials or biblical foundation to truly guide you well. My approach combines both — professional knowledge and godly wisdom.

So when you work with me, you’re not getting a drill sergeant or a motivational speaker. You’re getting a brother who wants to walk with you, pray with you, and help you build a life of discipline, joy, and purpose — all to the glory of God.

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about fitness.
It’s about faithfulness.

How Can I Get Started?

Maybe you’ve started thinking, “I know I need to make a change… but I don’t know where to start.”

That’s exactly where Christian health coaching comes in. My role isn’t to hand you a cookie-cutter plan, give you a diagnosis and prescription, or make you feel guilty about where you are — it’s to walk beside you, pray with you, and help you build lasting habits that honor God and strengthen your life.

Getting started is simple:

1. Pray! Ask God to prepare your heart and show you where He wants you to grow.
2. Reach out. I’ll learn about your goals, your current struggles, and your schedule. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your life — not just another program to quit.
3. Start your journey. Through one-on-one guidance, faith-based accountability, and practical health steps, you’ll begin to see progress in your energy, focus, confidence, and walk with Christ.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin — you just have to take the first faithful step.
Let’s build the strength, discipline, and spiritual endurance you were made for.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” — Colossians 3:23
