We coach NextGen Leaders to overcome their toughest challenges so they can build lasting, fruitful ministries.
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, stuck without a strategy, and constantly behind in ministry. You’re planning events, texting volunteers, prepping messages, and still wondering if anything is actually working. When there’s no roadmap and no margin, it’s easy to lose your passion – and even easier to feel like you’re failing the very students you’re trying to reach.
That’s where I come in. With over 30 years of ministry and coaching experience – from growing healthy student ministries from scratch to training youth pastors and church leaders across the country – I coach NextGen Leaders like you to overcome your toughest challenges. Together, we’ll build a clear strategy, create sustainable systems, and help you lead with confidence, not chaos. You don’t have to do this alone anymore — I’m here to walk with you, every step of the way.
As our youth ministry grew and new volunteers poured in, we found ourselves facing a challenge: our professionalism—both visually and organizationally—hadn’t kept pace with our growth. That’s when NextGen Leader Coaching became the game-changer, providing the final piece we needed to reach our full potential and achieve excellence.
My church needed to rework its vision and clarify strategy. Using their expertise, NextGen Leader Coaching used a weekend retreat to lead us through a process to do just that. We left that retreat with clear, actionable next steps to follow.
Partnering with NextGen Leader Coaching during my first few years in ministry was a game-changer. Their wisdom, experience, and steady guidance helped me navigate challenges, think strategically, and stay grounded. Whether I needed practical advice, a fresh perspective, or just someone to listen, they always showed up. As a bi-vocational leader, I also appreciated how flexible they were with my schedule. I can confidently say that much of my early success in ministry is thanks to the support I received from NextGen Leader Coaching.
Brent’s youth ministry training workshop was exactly what we needed—insightful, practical, and deeply encouraging. He shared real stories from his own ministry journey—what worked, what didn’t, and how to wisely navigate youth ministry in smaller church contexts. What stood out most was how applicable everything was, especially for leaders working with a wide age range or starting from scratch. Even if you don’t have students yet, Brent equips you with clear, actionable steps to build a thriving youth ministry. I left with useful tools and fresh vision for the future of our program. I highly recommend this training to pastors, church councils, youth and children’s leaders, and district-level teams. It was timely, excellent, and packed with value.
Brent challenged us in the best way possible. He showed us that youth ministry doesn’t start when the kids show up—it starts now, with vision and intentionality. His message reminded us that the future of our church’s youth is worth preparing for, and that the Gospel can take root even before the first student walks through the door.
