Meet Coach Brenda

Welcome! I’m Brenda Stewart, an experienced Christian Life Coach, here to guide you on your journey toward spiritual direction, emotional healing, and a fulfilling life based on your own personal values. I received a master’s degree in counseling at Concordia University, Irvine at the Townsend Institute. I also completed a master’s degree in ministry at Corbon Graduate School in Salem, Oregon, a master’s in Divinity at Tozer Seminary in Redding, California, and a Doctor of Ministry in Redemptive Organizational Leadership at Gordon Conwell Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina.

My Mission

My mission is to help you discover direction and purpose for your life, align your goals with your values, and overcome obstacles through faith-based coaching. I believe that true transformation comes when we invite God into every aspect of our lives—whether it’s relationships, career, personal development, or spiritual growth. Together, we’ll create a path that leads to greater peace, clarity and meaning in your life.

Coaching Services I Offer:

• Spiritual Direction

  • Deepen your relationship with God, explore your spiritual gifts, and walk confidently in your faith.

• Relationship Coaching

  • Strengthen your personal and professional relationships through better communication, boundary setting, and emotional intelligence.

• Career & Purpose Coaching

  • Discover your God-given gifts, clarify your career goals, transition into a new role, or overcome challenges at work to achieve success and fulfillment and live out your life calling with clarity and confidence.

• Goal Setting & Achievement

  • Create actionable plans to achieve your dreams, whether they’re personal, professional, or both.

• Work-Life Balance

  • Find harmony between your career and personal life, managing stress while maintaining a sense of purpose and joy.

• Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

What to Expect from Coaching

Life coaching is a collaborative process. I’m here to ask the right questions, challenge you to dig deep, and help you find the answers that are already within you. Our sessions are focused on creating actionable strategies that align with your unique goals. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition or simply looking for more direction, I’ll help you make real progress toward living the life you envision.

In each coaching session, you’ll receive:

• Supportive guidance

• Clarity on your goals and values

• Practical steps to achieve measurable results

• Accountability to help you stay on track

Whether you’re facing a significant life transition, struggling with decisions, or simply seeking spiritual direction, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

My Background

I have many years of experience in ministry, counseling, and coaching, with a certification in Christian Life Coaching through Leader Breakthru Life Coaching.
