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 Ephesians 5 servant-leaders. 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

Ministry

The ministry of marriage and family coaching under Stephanie Holmes seeks to bring restoration and spiritual renewal to troubled lives. The mission is to offer affordable Christian coaching to those in need and to glorify God in all that transpires during the coaching process. The theoretical foundation upon which her eclectic use of various skills is based is that of cognitive-behavioral theory and LifeModel Works.

I believe our work begins with an understanding that we are physiological, psychological, and spiritual persons. Because of this belief, Christian principles are blended with compatible psychological techniques and theories in order to promote psychological, relational, and spiritual growth through counseling. Coaching is a process that promotes positive change, but the overall decision to change and apply various techniques is the sole choice and responsibility of the client. I primarily provide for neurodiverse couples and families.

My desire is for people to walk in freedom and overcome whatever may be in the past or what is going on in this present. The message I teach is one of hope and freedom and overcoming through the power of Jesus Christ. There is no exclusion clause in Jeremiah 29:11!

In His Service,
