Coaching vs. Counseling

Coaching:

Focuses on the future. It helps men identify where they want to go, make a plan, take action, and reach their goals.

Counseling:

Often focuses on the past. It helps people work through emotional pain, trauma, mental health struggles, and other issues that may require professional therapy.

What to Expect in Marriage Coaching

In our Christian marriage coaching, my wife Cindy and I bring over 23 years of marriage and more than 20 years of pastoral ministry leadership to the table. We understand firsthand the joys and pressures of marriage and family life. As parents of two young adults—Austin, 21, and Jaelyn, 18—we’ve navigated these seasons ourselves.

Meeting online via Zoom for our sessions, we walk with couples who are feeling stuck—whether it’s in their connection, intimacy, finances, parenting, or even in the hardest moments like divorce or infidelity. Rooted in biblical wisdom, prayer, and the lessons we’ve learned, we’re here to help you rediscover hope, unity, and God’s design for your marriage.

Testimonials From Men

"I had 4 coaching sessions with Matt, and it was really good. I had some life issues that were very hard to share, and Matt listened without judging, and responded in such an uplifting and encouraging way. He guided me in some everyday lifestyle patterns that help to direct my mind and thoughts towards God, and away from the struggles of the world. Also a few everyday steps to take, that help me lead my wife and kids towards God. Overall it was a great experience and I would happily recommend it"

Malcolm Honeysett

"Matt’s 1 on 1 coaching was great and amazing. 1st he listened and never judged me. But on the contrary he gave me advice on what to do accordingly to what God’s word say as well. We also prayed before and after our session. I highly recommend Matt’s coaching if any man needs help in any area in their life.”

Alex M.

"Shortly after re-dedicating my life to Jesus Christ a few months ago, I began listening to The Frontline Podcast for Christian Men. Matt announced on one of his episodes that he is now doing Called to Duty Christian coaching for men. This got my attention so I requested an intro call, and immediately signed up for four sessions. I was blessed in so many ways during each and every one of our sessions together. Matt has dedicated his life to serving the Lord and has a heart for serving Christian men. He wants to equip us for the everyday battles we face. He earned my trust and I was completely comfortable sharing issues with him that I have dealt with. He is a cool and down to earth guy and I am so thankful in taking the step to contact him and sign up for our sessions. If you have been considering coaching with him but not quite sure, I highly encourage you to reach out to him today for an intro call. I promise that you will be blessed and so glad you did!"
