Coaching Ministry

Dan believes there is no greater office one can hold than that of a husband and father. Since both roles require complicated interplay on many levels, Dan also believes God has provided help through the leading of the Holy Spirit, the counsel of others, and the work of life coaches.

A life coach, much like a sports coach, helps you get the most out of what you want while holding you accountable to your personal goals. Sometimes, a life coach simply reflects your thoughts back to you. However, they can also provide feedback to help you grow, improve, and see a different perspective.

So coaching looks at questions such as, Have you ever felt stuck? Unsure? Unable to take the next step professionally or relationally? I want you to know you’re not alone. Having a healthy marriage and family is hard work but there are complications and complexities that come in a NeuroDiverse Christian family system. The message I have for husbands and fathers is to inspire and coach you to become like the Master, Servant Leader, loving truly like Jesus as He has loved you and to help you let go of shame and pride and be transformed in the likeness of Christ. Through the International Association of NeuroDiverse Christian Marriages, I want to help equip, coach, and educate both NeuroDiverse husbands and fathers and those who counsel or minister to NeuroDiverse marriages and families.

In His Service,

Rev. Dan Holmes

Coaching Ministry

Dr. Holmes seeks to bring restoration and spiritual renewal to individuals and couples facing challenging situations. By combining affordable rates with a desire to glorify God in all that transpires through the counseling/coaching process, she offers life-changing hope to troubled lives. Through the International Association of NeuroDiverse Christian Marriages, LLC she wants to educate and equip others to build effective strategies for NeuroDiverse Christian Marriages.

Dr. Stephanie C. Holmes’ coaching approach integrates cognitive-behavioral principles with relational neuroscience and Christian spiritual formation. While thoughts influence behavior, she believes lasting change involves more than correcting thinking patterns or relying on willpower alone. True transformation grows from understanding one’s identity in Christ, developing emotional maturity, and experiencing growth within healthy relationships and supportive community.

Recognizing that people are physiological, relational, psychological, and spiritual beings, Dr. Holmes blends faith-based principles with evidence-informed coaching practices to foster whole-person growth. Influenced by relational models of maturity, including the work of Dr. Jim Wilder, her coaching focuses on identity formation, connection, and practical skill-building that supports sustainable change. Coaching provides guidance and tools for growth, while each individual remains responsible for their own decisions and personal development.

The message I teach is one of hope and freedom and overcoming through the power of Jesus Christ. I believe there is no exclusion clause in Jeremiah 29:11 for hope and a future!

In His Service,
Rev. Stephanie C. Holmes, EdD, MA
