Ponder the Path. Walk it Well.

Byway Coaching

Leaders Often Wrestle with Feeling…

Overwhelmed

Ever feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day or days in the week? Like the weight of leadership is just too heavy?

Stuck

Ever feel like you’re just not sure which direction to head? Like you’re leading and serving faithfully, but you and your ministry just aren’t moving forward?

Underfunded

Ever feel like the challenge of being a support-based missionary in the midst of leadership is like having a second job, and you just can’t get any support raising momentum?

Leadership can feel like wandering without a map—especially in seasons of transition, resistance, or overwhelm. Many pastors, missionaries, and leaders faithfully press forward yet wonder if they’re on the right road—or if the pace they’re keeping will actually last. Too often, ministry feels like a highway: redlining toward burnout or stuck in traffic that never moves.

But what if there’s another way? What if God is not found in the frantic speeds or the endless gridlock, but along the quieter byways?

A byway is not a detour—it’s a deliberate path. It’s the road less traveled, where health comes before impact, wisdom before speed, and clarity and simplicity before complexity.


You’re not alone. I can help.

The Byway Difference:
Byway Coaching exists to change that. Proverbs 4.26 says “Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.” We come alongside leaders to help them slow down, gain clarity, and move forward intentionally.


1 on 1 Coaching

At the heart of Byway Coaching is personal, one-on-one coaching. Every leader faces unique challenges and opportunities, and individual coaching creates the space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with clarity.

In these sessions, I come alongside you to help untangle complexity, identify what matters most, and design sustainable ways to lead with health and purpose. Coaching can be done virtually or in person, always tailored to your season and goals.


Team & Group Coaching

Leadership isn’t meant to be done alone. Whether it’s your staff, elder board, or ministry team, I help groups grow in clarity, unity, and effectiveness. Through interactive coaching, I create space for honest conversations, stronger collaboration, and practical tools your team can use right away.

I offer coaching for teams and groups virtually or on-site, tailoring each experience to your unique context and goals. Together, we’ll identify challenges, align around priorities, and build healthy rhythms that make your team more resilient and impactful.


Retreats & Training

Sometimes the best growth happens when you step away from the everyday pace. I design and lead retreats that give leaders and teams space to rest, reflect, and realign around what matters most. These experiences combine biblical wisdom, practical tools, and intentional time for renewal.

I also offer tailored training sessions designed to meet your team’s specific needs—whether that’s sharpening leadership skills, navigating change, or building healthy ministry rhythms. Each retreat or training is crafted to fit your unique context, helping leaders walk away with clarity, unity, and a renewed sense of purpose.


Ministry Partner Development

For many missionaries and ministry leaders, raising support feels overwhelming or even discouraging. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I walk alongside leaders to build confidence, sharpen their approach, and cultivate the resilience needed to thrive in support-based ministry.

Through personalized coaching or group training, I provide practical tools, encouragement, and proven strategies that help leaders move from anxiety to clarity, and from stuck to sustainable. Whether you’re just starting out or seeking to strengthen your long-term support, I’ll help you approach it with both faith and skill.
