Parenting

I am a divorced mother of three girls with a high stress profession. My girls and I managed well until they became teens, at which time my 15 year old in particular began to struggle socially and academically. I felt I was facing a huge generational and cultural difference. The things that had worked for my parents in dealing with me did not work in my dealing with her and her values were vastly different from mine.

We needed help and coaching was more acceptable to her as it carried none of the negative connotation of “counseling.” Though wary at first, she quickly came to trust Bev and was even accepting of Bev’s Christian approach to life’s daily problems.

During our work together, my daughter gained insight into the events of the past several months, dealt with her feelings about my divorce from her father in more productive ways, learned to take responsibility for her actions and began to express clearly her desires for me and our relationship. She improved greatly and our relationship became much more cooperative and much less adversarial. She even developed a faith of her own.

Spiritual Maturity

For those of us who don’t want or need outside help, the decision to have a life coach can come as a big surprise; it certainly did for me. The beginning of my coaching relationship with Bev was strictly a matter of moving me through a family crisis. As we grew to know each other, I found an environment of trust which allowed me to tackle life’s other issues in a very non-judgemental and loving way.

When I look in the mirror now, I see a woman who is a better reflection of Christ than ever before. Coaching has helped me get a more clear picture of my future with God, and I like the way it looks.

Ministry Design / Leadership Development

Bev Wilson and I have worked together for the better part of a decade. We first met when we were part of a class in a large Albuquerque church preparing a group of adults to join us in planting a church on the growing west side. As we began that church, Bev was responsible for creating and leading our Women’s Ministry, Prayer Ministry and Marriage and Family Ministry.

While she is passionate about many things related to ministry, she is passionate about none more than designing new ministries and developing leaders to oversee those ministries. With her gift of mercy, she is committed to designing ministries which meet the needs of people in the local church body. With her gift of administration, she is committed to designing ministries with excellence, unity and Biblical integrity. And with her gift of teaching, she is committed to raising up leaders to oversee various ministry opportunities so that they too experience the joy of ministry.

As our senior pastor said, “She is our sister and our friend and our church would not be what it is today without her influence.”

Life in Recovery

Our daughter, K.P., was admitted to a rehab center for treatment of a severe addiction. When she was discharged, we knew she needed someone strong and skilled to help her return to the functioning, responsible daughter she once was. We also knew that we needed help in supporting her without assuming responsibility for her in ways that would be damaging to her recovery. Bev was our first choice!

Not only has she helped K.P. with the process of recovery, she has helped us assume healthy roles in K.P.’s life and recovery. We have all faced very difficult situations, but have found our way through each of them with Bev’s help as our coach. We would have been lost without it.

Divorce Prevention

My husband and I were at the point of getting a divorce. Things were very bad between us and I had given up hope for our marriage. Then, my husband met Bev, who offered to help us as long as we were both willing to let go of our past and focus on building a future together.

We began the process of rebuilding our lives together step-by-step. Beyond our weekly appointments, we were given assignments to help us stay on course between times and to keep us focused on doing things His way.

Coaching was just what we needed and was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Now, we are investing in our future together, rather than recovering from a divorce.
