Having previously been a carpenter until injury threw a curveball, and experiencing missionary life in Tanzania, Japan and Taiwan, life has given me a very personal understanding of the importance of outgrowing ones challenges.

Maturity is forged through trials. – James 1

Julie Quest-Brooks

Julie Quest-Brooks

Living with 'Christ in you' ID

I live in Texas. I’m married to my soul mate, Buddy. Together, we have 4 grown children and 7 grandkids. We have worked together in real estate and ministry for years. I’d call myself a serious pursuer of God. I’ve been around a while and so have seen a lot of what doesn’t work and have found a lot of what does. I’m not finished, of course. But, over the years, I’ve discovered that Jesus really just wants to do life with us. As a “Christian Life Coach,” my goal is to help get you off the roller coaster ride of highs and lows … of feeling close one day and then feeling far away from the Lord the next … and onto the “abundant life” path where Jesus becomes YOUR Ultimate coach – you know, that other kind of coach, the one you find in a game of sports. He sets the agenda and calls the plays but YOU are the one who is “in the game” we call life. I call this union life because it’s always in union with Him. I am here to lend you some of my faith and expertise as a change expert.
