About InChristCoach
Why We Do What We Do
Every believer has a God‑given identity — but many struggle to live from it. We carry wounds, doubts, old patterns, and false labels that cloud who we truly are in Christ. At In Christ Coach, we exist to help you rediscover the truth that God has already spoken over your life.
This isn’t just coaching. It’s a journey of clarity, healing, and spiritual alignment. We walk with you as you learn to see yourself the way God sees you — loved, chosen, redeemed, and called.
Why Your Identity in Christ Matters
When you live out of your identity in Christ, your perspective shifts in meaningful ways.
Your decisions become clearer.
Your confidence grows.
Your relationships strengthen.
Your purpose becomes visible.
Identity is the foundation of transformation. Without it, we drift. With it, we flourish. Scripture reminds us that “You are a new creation…” (2 Corinthians 5:17). That truth is not just theological — it’s practical. It shapes how you think, how you live, and how you respond to the challenges of life.
Our Mission
To help believers live confidently from who they are in Christ — through Christ‑centered coaching, biblical encouragement, and practical guidance for everyday life.
Our Approach
Our coaching is pastoral, relational, and deeply rooted in Scripture. We focus on:
Identity formation
Spiritual growth
Life direction and clarity
Renewing the mind
Encouragement and support
Personal and Spiritual Leadership
We don’t push quick fixes. We walk with you as you grow.
Your Journey Matters.
You were created with purpose. You were designed with intention. And you were called to live from the identity Christ has given you. We’re here to help you step into that truth with confidence and peace.
Credentials & Training
Meet Coach Nathan
I’ve always wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. That desire is why I believe God has led me into Christian coaching. My journey began with a deep burden to know the truth — to know Jesus more fully. The truth isn’t just an idea; the truth is a Person, and His name is Jesus Christ.
No matter your past, God has a purposeful plan for your life. I believe that with all my heart, and I want to walk with you as you discover it. I’m simply a guide on the journey. God is the Coach — the One who leads, heals, directs, and transforms.
My role is to walk beside you, help you gain clarity, and support you as you grow into the person God designed you to be.
I bring years of ministry, counseling, and leadership experience to every coaching session. My academic and professional training reflect a deep commitment to helping believers live confidently from who they are in Christ.

About Nathan
My life has been shaped by God’s grace in ways I never expected. My wife Heather and I are both 50 years old, and today we are raising our four grandchildren. It has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives, but also one of the greatest challenges. Overnight, our quiet home became a home filled with backpacks, school lunches, homework, bedtime routines, and the daily needs of four young children. Finances stretched, schedules changed, and life looked completely different than we ever imagined.
But through every challenge, Jesus Christ has been our strength.
We have learned firsthand what it means to face overwhelming circumstances in Christ — not in our own ability, but in His sufficiency. We’ve seen how He provides, how He sustains, and how He gives wisdom when life feels heavy. Our story is not one of perfection, but of dependence. Not of ease, but of grace.
I share our story because everyone has a story to tell — and God is writing each one with purpose. We are grateful that He has allowed us to make a difference in our grandchildren’s lives.
Statement of Faith
I. The Scriptures
We believe that the Bible, as originally written, was verbally and plenarily inspired, is the product of Spirit‑controlled men, and therefore is truth without any mixture of error.
We believe the Bible to be the center of true Christian unity and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be tried.
(2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:19–21)
II. The Trinity
We believe that there is but one true God — an infinite, all‑knowing Spirit, perfect in all His attributes, one in essence, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5–7; 1 Corinthians 8:4; John 5:24; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
A. God the Father
We believe that God the Father, the first person of the Trinity, orders and disposes all things according to His own purpose and grace. He is the Creator of all things and the absolute, omnipotent ruler of the universe — sovereign in creation, providence, and redemption. He is glorious in holiness and worthy of all honor, confidence, and love.
(Psalm 145:8–9; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Genesis 1:1–31; Ephesians 3:9; Psalm 103:19; Romans 11:36)
B. God the Son
We believe that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, possesses all divine excellencies and is co‑equal, consubstantial, and co‑eternal with the Father.
We believe that God the Father created all things through His Son Jesus Christ, by whom all things continue in existence.
We believe that in the incarnation, Christ was supernaturally born of a virgin, surrendering only the prerogatives of deity but nothing of His divine essence. He became the God‑Man.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through His voluntary, vicarious, substitutionary, propitiatory, and redemptive death on the cross.
We believe that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead and that He now mediates as our Advocate and High Priest at the right hand of the Father.
(John 10:30; 14:9; 1:3; Colossians 1:15–17; Hebrews 1:2; Philippians 2:5–8; Colossians 2:9; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23–25; Luke 1:2–35; John 10:15; Romans 3:24–25; 5:8; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:38–39; Acts 2:30–31; Romans 4:25; 8:34; Hebrews 7:25; 9:24; 1 John 2:1)
C. God the Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is a divine person, equal with God the Father and God the Son and of the same nature. He was active in creation and restrains evil until God’s purpose is fulfilled.
He convicts of sin, righteousness, and judgment; bears witness to the truth of the gospel; and is the agent in the new birth.
He seals, bestows gifts, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies, baptizes the believer into Christ, and indwells and empowers the believer.
(Genesis 1:1–3; Matthew 28:19; John 14:16–17, 26; 1:8–11; 1 Corinthians 6:19)
III. Man
We believe that man was created in innocence under the laws of his Maker; but by voluntary transgression, Adam fell from his sinless and happy estate.
All men sinned in him and are therefore totally depraved, partakers of Adam’s fallen nature, sinners by nature and conduct, and under just condemnation without defense or excuse.
(Genesis 3:1–6, 24; Romans 1:18–32; 3:10–19; 5:12,19)
IV. Salvation
We believe that sinners must be born again to be saved; that the new birth is a new creation in Jesus Christ — instantaneous, not a process.
In the new birth, the one dead in trespasses and sins is made a partaker of the divine nature and receives eternal life, the free gift of God.
This new creation is brought about solely by the power of the Holy Spirit in connection with divine truth, securing voluntary obedience to the gospel.
Its evidence appears in the holy fruits of repentance, faith, and newness of life.
(John 3:3,6,7; Acts 16:30–33; Romans 6:23; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:1,5; 2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 5:1)
V. Sanctification
We believe that every believer is sanctified (set apart) unto God by justification and is therefore declared holy and identified as a saint.
This sanctification relates to our standing before God and is instantaneous, not to be confused with progressive sanctification.
(Acts 20:32; 1 Corinthians 1:2,30; 6:11; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 2:11; 3:1; 10:10,14; 13:12; 1 Peter 1:2)
We believe that the cross of Christ is essential both to justification and to progressive sanctification (being conformed to the likeness of Christ).
As the believer appropriates his identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection — reckoning himself dead to sin and alive to God — he begins to live out his new identity “in Christ.”
Progressive sanctification continues as the believer denies the self‑life daily and allows Christ to live through him.
VI. The Church
We believe in the unity of all true believers in the Church, the Body of Christ, established on the Day of Pentecost.
All believers, both Jews and Gentiles, are added to this Church by the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation.
We believe that this Church is manifested through the local church — a congregation of baptized believers associated by covenant of faith and fellowship of the Gospel.
(Acts 15:21–18; 20:17–28; 1 Timothy 3:1–7; Ephesians 1:22–23; 4:11; 5:23–24; Colossians 1:18)
VII. The Devil or Satan
We believe in the personality of Satan — the unholy god of this age and ruler of the powers of darkness — destined for eternal judgment in the lake of fire.
(Matthew 4:1–11; Revelation 20:10)
