Breedlove, Jerry: - Dr. Jerry Breedlove Jr. started his coaching journey in 2003 as he planted his first church. He initially embraced coaching as he sought answers on how best to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to the people he interacted with both inside and outside the church, and thus the Discipleship Style Coaching Model was born. His studies in Christian Ministry and Ministry Leadership at Crown College deepened his understanding of coaching in a Christian context, and ultimately his work in the doctoral program of Regent University helped him to solidify the model into what it is today. Jerry not only serves as a pastor but also as a professional coach, working with executives and business leaders from a variety of industries. This provides him with a deep and wide set of experiences where the coaching model has been tested and further refined.
