Ministry coaching enables us, as ministry leaders, to see insights in our lives from a different perspective. An effective ministry coach helps us to process the difficulties and joys of ministry and family then guides us to become a better and more effective leader in all areas of life. Jerry Butler has been that person for me!

Good coaching is the ability to draw out from the person being coached all that God is up to in the person’s life. It is also the ability to bring long held invisible desires to the surface and then to help the person interpret them accurately. Jerry Butler does both of these with skill and nuanced questions.  He did not tell me what I needed to be, or to do, but helped me discover that for myself. He gave me permission to pursue hidden and squashed ideas that before were only wild and thoughtless ramblings. I recommend Jerry without reservation as a coach of excellence.  He will make you think. He will bring out the inner and deep work of God in your life.

I spent 2 years with Jerry as my life coach and he helped me reorder and refocus my life in so many ways. At the time of my coaching with Jerry, he helped me sift through and refocus my priorities as a wife, mother of young children and primary care giver during my mother’s cancer treatment, to enlighten and reawaken the forgotten identity of me as an individual. Jerry’s thorough attention to detail in every conversation, and his intuitive ability to ask the hard-probing questions that got me to really look deep within myself, helped me to grow in positive ways and strengthen the relationships with those closest to me, and also helped motivate me to make the changes I needed to pursue forgotten dreams and goals. Sessions chatting with Jerry were interspersed with book recommendations and meditative practices which also benefitted me greatly. I am very grateful for my time spent with Jerry as my coach and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to go beneath the surface and explore a more meaningful and wholesome life.

Through compassion, caring and a deep understanding of spirituality, Jerry empowered me to find my true self. But the coaching didn’t stop there. Jerry guided me on how to tap into my true self and live life from the Christ within. I have gone from spiritual rags to riches. I am now the person, even I couldn’t have dreamed of being. I have started a new business: The Diabetes Education Network, founded a non-profit organization Ace Diabetes. Coaching with Jerry Butler is a must for all who are seeking to grow beyond what they can imagine.

I found my time with Jerry an important discipline. It helped me not only in planning my objectives for the year, but Jerry also provided me with tools and strategies and a model to coach my staff—as I had been coached! In a word my time with Jerry “works” and I would encourage anyone who is serious about leadership and effective parish ministry to give Jerry a call.
