Faith-Led Journeys
Blessed results. Find inspiration through our coaching stories.
I entered this program curious about where God was leading me during a time of great professional and personal transition. There were circumstances in my career that forced me to reflect on whether I was truly where I were supposed to be. Between working full-time and being a wife and mother, I was struggling to find balance in a stressful season. My participation in the Transformational Coaching program became an opportunity to completely renew my relationship with my Heavenly Father. Through this journey, I discovered my true identity in Him and gained absolute clarity about my divine calling. Andrew curated specific videos and spiritual readings that strengthened my bond with God in ways I never expected. I learned the power of being still in prayer, opening the eyes of my heart to the guiding Spirit, and the transformative practice of two-way journaling. This coaching provided the practical tools to deepen my spiritual understanding and apply Scripture to my life in a deeply personal way. I am now forever grateful to know the depth of my Father's love and the specific calling He has placed on me to serve others. Thank you for being a true instrument of God's love during this pivotal chapter of my life.

Having just completed the '4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice' course in July and learning and growing so much in my relationship with God because of it, I knew I didn't want that growth to stop - I needed it to continue because there were still areas in my life/heart that needed healing and that I knew only God could help mend. Thankfully, individual coaching was available and Andrew was there to humbly, patiently, and graciously lead me closer to God. Before starting the coaching program, I had a lot of "ideas" about who I thought I was (mostly negative) and who I thought God was (some negative), but after going through the program, and having Andrew use his discernment and incredible gift of hearing the Holy Spirit in what was needed, he was able to provide me with readings, videos to watch, heartfelt feedback, and scriptures to read that touched my heart exactly at the right time and place to change those "ideas". As an example, I am continuing to use a lesson learned from one of the videos daily so my heart can be free from bitterness as I move forgiveness out of my head and into my heart (Luke 6:27-28) - I didn't think I would ever find that peace! I'm so grateful to God for putting it on the hearts of men like Andrew to want to share their gifts and love of God with others. Being able to have a real, two-way relationship, with a loving God, has made all the difference.

I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to spend 4 weeks with Andrew and Maria. It was a time of spiritual awareness and awakening in my life. Each week the experience was clearly led by the Holy Spirit. God spoke through both Andrew and Maria in very unique ways. They both enlightened me in areas where I needed help growing closer to Jesus. Unlike most therapy/coaching sessions, they were both vulnerable about their life experiences and openly shared them with me. I am grateful for the session re-caps they sent to me along with related "homework" to focus on prior to our next coaching session. They kept me focused on the goals we felt were important to achieve. The Word of God was paramount in their coaching. They go "vertical" prior to "horizontal" in all areas of this work. I so appreciated that related scripture was a part of every session. I never felt like I was "on the clock" during our meetings. They were so very accommodating and never did I feel rushed. Though I originally thought I was doing these sessions to work on one particular area of my spiritual/personal life...as the Holy Spirit led, there were many ways that He took both our discussions and focus in a different direction. Lastly, I believe the suggested monetary contribution is far less than the value of this coaching. I would highly recommend this very unique and individual coaching experience to others who are seeking to grow closer to Jesus. As I stated, what we think this might mean might take on an entirely different direction in the process. God has a way of doing that...doesn't He?

At first, I didn't know what I was looking for. I just knew I wanted to get closer to GOD and learn how to live a truthful, fearless, happy Christian life. I took the 4 week course and was given so much from Andrew. Andrew helped me find myself, find GOD on a different level and gave me tools to help with things I was dealing with and continue to deal with in my life through God's word. I now know who I am and how God sees me. He sees me as His child and how God's gift of salvation does not become ours until we accept it and make it our own but WE, as followers, must reach out in faith, accept HIM and seek HIS wisdom through the word. I learned the Lord's power is made perfect in my weaknesses and all I have to do is have FAITH. Faith in GOD our Father and his son the LORD Christ Jesus. Andrew gave me so much. I can never thank him enough for what he has taught me and the wise words he instilled in my heart. Now I move forward every day getting stronger with every step no matter what life throws at me, I continue to move forward. I battle the devil every single day and after this, I am stronger and never go into battle alone. I am already victorious before the battle even begins. Why? Because the Lord's power rests upon me. I read and write often now and through the grace of GOD and the help of Andrew, I am a better man, a better husband a better friend, and most of all I know who I am in God's eyes. "I am His child." I am now fearless with a sound mind and a spiritual understanding of what I need to do as a servant of GOD. I only fear GOD, follow his word, and as a righteous man, I continue to move forward. Thank you, Andrew. A strong spiritual warrior you helped make me, brother.

God has used Andrew’s ministry in my life in an incredible way. For many years I struggled to see myself in my true identity as a child of God and missed out on developing a relationship with Him as my father and Lord. I had an extensive education in “Christianity” and the Bible. But my heart was held back by lies that the enemy had planted deep within that I had chosen to believe about my past and God’s reality in my life. Andrew has been blessed by God with a powerful gift to peel back the layers. His sensitivity to the Spirit of God allowed him to be a wonderful facilitator of the message that God wanted to deliver to me. In the process of going through the Spiritual Transformation coaching, Andrew helped me shed many long term barriers I had put up in my heart toward God and to begin a new revitalized relationship filled with joy and peace. This freedom has completely changed the way I handle every aspect of my life. I hope that many people can experience the same kind of miracle in their own lives. I am very thankful for how God has used The Shepherd and Me in my life!

I had an amazing experience of renewed healing in my walk with the Lord Jesus! I gained insight into areas of my life that I was still wounded from and had to release and become more vulnerable to God and His love and forgiveness. I learned simple ways of hearing God's voice and following His direction for my future. It was very specific and amazingly inspiring!! Andrew is very gifted, discerning, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit and I am truly blessed by the program!!

When I first began working with Andrew, I was lost…Not knowing the direction I was called to be on. I was going through a divorce, caregiving for my mother, being there for my children while trying to hold it together. I was unable to connect with the Lord on a deep and uninhibited way. I knew I need a deeper connection but I didn’t know how. Andrew’s guidance and knowledge taught me to accept, see and love myself as God did. I finally understood who I was in Christ and how much I was loved. I was able to dig deep to understand how the generational curses and inner vow’s held me back from being who Christ wanted me to be. I felt God’s presence and guidance with the acceptance of the Holy Spirit. At last I felt the immense love Jesus had for me. Because of Andrew’s coaching, I was able to study and pass my real estate exam while going through my storm. I now feel freedom to love and be loved without condemnation. I feel so blessed because I finally have the relationship with Jesus that I longed for my whole life.

I consider myself a Christian and I thought I knew God. What I realized through Andrew's guidance and teachings is that there is so much more to God. He provided amazing material that helped me understand how God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit work together in developing my relationship with God on a deeper level. The "Pillar I - Relationship with God" program was flexible and had the right amount of material that made me hungry to learn more. Andrew did an amazing job at making the subjects relatable to me and my life. His program really opens up your eyes and heart to God as our Father, Jesus sacrifice, and the new covenant with mankind and our purpose here on earth. If your a beginner Christian and are trying to understand the Bible or what the next step is after being baptized as a new Christian, I recommend taking his "Pillar I - Relationship with God" program.

First, let me say thank you for providing this opportunity. I also thank God for allowing this to come to me. What 4 Keys To Hearing God's Voice course gave me was a much clearer understanding of what I am reading as far as scripture is concerned. I doubt every single thing in my life. Or at least I did until recently. Mostly I doubted myself. Having 90 minutes a week to work with what I consider TWO instructors, Andrew & Ligia (fellow classmate), has given me many tools. But more importantly, it's given me a stronger faith in my walk with the Lord. I still don't necessarily know where I'm going or who I will be when I get there. But I do know Who to ask & a much better understanding of how to receive the answers. Thank you so much for your guidance Andrew. I'm kind of sad it's over. I have never been that dedicated or committed to a class in my 54 years. God Bless

Andrew has a way of sharing God's word that gives me the confidence to draw strength from my relationship with Jesus. Rather than succumbing to feelings of guilt and wanting to give up, I begin to take action and not stay in my head going over the same thoughts and regrets time and again. I'm able to begin the process of renewing God's forgiveness daily that is empowering me toward a closer relationship with Him, as well as my friends and family. When Andrew talks about and shares his relationship with our Heavenly Father in a personal way, it opens up the possibility of having a closer walk in the Spirit with Jesus that is based on scripture and a real spiritual redemptive experience. Andrew’s gifts are clear: his encouragement and understanding are both emotional and spiritual support. Andrew brings together Bible verses and prayer that work together in a way where I have the all-important connection with God. With Andrew’s assistance, I'm also beginning to better understand my identity in Christ that allows me to live a more resilient life as a Christian man. This all helps me to especially impact my Son with God's love as a single parent, creating a new legacy with my Son.

Coaching with Andrew has been transformational for me. I did not really know what to expect but God has done more than I could have asked or imagined. He used Andrew powerfully through these coaching sessions and assignments. The combination of his heart for God and his sensitivity to the Spirit gave him a focus which felt deep and insightful. I felt as if I arrived at coaching presenting numerous challenges in my life, but Andrew was able to discern the root issues and home in on the Kingdom keys to unlock my heart. As a result, I feel that my relationship with God has been restored, I have grown in my true identity in Him and received emotional healing. What’s more, I know that through Andrew God has put me back on track. I am confident that I am now on a different trajectory, the one that is in alignment with my destiny, and I am very grateful!

Coaching with Andrew was a life changing experience for me. I was stuck in areas of my walk with the Lord and working with Andrew for 4 weeks I have recognized the barriers that were holding me back. I also learned to hear God’s voice and truly experience His abundant love and joy! Andrew is blessed with discernment and he is sensitive to the Spirit of God. He knew the precise tools and resources each week to propel me to my next step. I loved learning the two-way journal! This journaling has moved me into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with Andrew!
