"For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
Hi, I'm Coach T!
"The Race isn't just about how fast you run. It's about who you are running for."
If you know me as a cross-country coach, track coach, or leadership teacher, you know I live by structure, discipline, and consistency. I spend my time helping athletes and tomorrow's leaders see their potential today.
But for years, I watched believers — people with incredible God-given potential — stuck on the sidelines in their own spiritual lives. They weren't tired; they were unaware. They didn't really know who God created them to be, so they couldn't see the eternal weight of their own influence.
That's why I created Identity and Purpose — A Biblical Guide — Living Spiritually Driven Series.
Many Christians struggle not because they lack effort, but because they lack alignment. They're trying to run a race they weren't conditioned for, relying on their own strength rather than the finished work of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.
The "Spiritually Driven" Mission
I wrote Spiritually Driven and built this platform to solve one specific problem: Identity Blindness. When we misunderstand our identity in Christ, we fall into temptation or leave our divine callings unfulfilled.
I had to learn this the hard way. When I received my first call to preach, I was paralyzed by fear of judgment. But the Lord showed me a vital truth: the message is not about us. It's about Him and what He wants to do in and through us.
Why We Are Here: I'm here to serve as your spiritual coach and your brother in Christ. The goal is simple — To help you live Spiritually Driven!
Whether you just downloaded Identity and Purpose or you're ready to dive into the full Spiritually Driven book, you're not just a spectator. You're the "Anchor Leg" in a relay which will lead you into eternity. So welcome to the team. The warm-up is over. It's time to run!
Running the Race with You,
In His Service,

This book will challenge you to stop being driven by the world and start being driven by the One who created you for such a time as this!
Building the Kingdom of God
in People
Partnering with faithful servants in the US, Uganda, and Kenya to engage, equip, and empower this generation for the Lord Jesus Christ!
"Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children."
Matthew 19:14United States
FCA Campus Ministry
We lead Fellowship of Christian Athletes campus huddles, pointing students to Jesus before the world tries to define them. The classroom is where the next generation finds its identity — and we are there. Whether it's prayer before a cross country or track meet, spiritual guidance for a student in need, or Bible study built into after-school time, every moment is an opportunity to plant seeds of eternal purpose.
Uganda
Church · School · Orphan Support
We partner with a pastor whose main church is in Entebbe and who oversees a school of over 400 students in Lwengo — a couple of hours away. He travels frequently to shepherd both communities. Teachers bring the Gospel into every classroom, and an orphan support network is being established on the school grounds.
Kenya
Cycle Street Marketplace Ministry
We support a minister doing marketplace discipleship and evangelism on the cycle streets of Kenya. He takes Bibles to people and — when requested — goes into their homes to study the Word of God with them. This is the Gospel moving from the street into the living room.
While we serve locally, your partnership extends this reach to the nations. Your support provides vital resources to our ministry partners serving on the front lines.
Help us equip the next generation. Your partnership fuels this mission. Whether through prayer or financial giving, you are helping us plant seeds of identity and purpose in thousands of young lives around the world.
