"Life coaching is life changing! I learned so much about myself-what I am passionate about, where I am gifted, and how these can be combined to be used in the Kingdom of God. It would benefit anyone, as the better we know ourselves, the more we are able to truly do the tasks designed for us here on earth!" - Sarah H

Dream
"Jim helped me discover things in my character, personality, giftedness & life experiences that I never paid much attention to. I often dismissed them as irrelevant or immature, viewing them as wrong.  Jim helped me reconnect with my passions which allowed vision to come back to life, as well as he encouraged me to face my fears that often kept me from dreaming. I know that it is God at work within me to fulfill His good purposes for my life, but it was through Jim's involvement that God worked!" –Don N

"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and grown from my interactions with Jim. He knows how to ask the fact-finding questions that give me a new perspective on where I’ve been, who I am and where I’m headed. I have been blessed by his thoughtful, affirming style and faith-focused counsel. I appreciate the way Jim helps identify vision and encourages you toward the goal" -Nan G

"Jim is one of the most Holy Spirit sensitive individuals I have met, in spite of his own situation, challenges, or life's concerns as Jim knows that HE will supply all of his needs according to HIS riches and Glory.  In great humility, Jim and Regina serve as unifying stewards of the Kingdom and that which the Lord has called them unto" –Eric R

"I so appreciate the way Jim contributes to the upbuilding of the body of Christ.  I've known Jim for many years and so appreciate his gentle yet keep on track approach in working alongside pastors and ministries.  Jim places my interests before his own and sincerely is there to help foster all the Spirit wants to do.  Jim has ideas but truly works at making sure everyone gets their say in moving by the Spirit and is pleased when things progress by the Spirit even if they don't exactly go his way" –Paul F

"Jim is an authentic discipler who personifies humility.  He is an attentive listener, guided by the Holy Spirit, unlocking optimal potential among all he serves" –Rick K

Direct
"Jim and I instantly connected around a shared a vision for a city to be reached and transformed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The things that struck me about Jim's leadership was the humility that he demonstrated, the heart to see leaders catch a vision for something bigger than themselves, and then the ability to help them actualize this vision. His leadership skills enable him to encourage leaders toward a God-sized vision" –Will P

"My work with you was transformative in a way I could not have foreseen. I often came to our sessions with a 'world-view' of my challenges and left with a God-view around the opportunities those challenges offered me. I grew so deeply in my faith and your's seemed contagious as I found myself leaning trustingly into the Lord at every turn, for both the little and big things. We covered a lot of territory from growing my business to raising my teenagers as a single mom. I will be forever grateful for your coaching, pastoring, friendship and deep love and trust in our God. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" - Karen M

Determine
"I was experiencing considerable stress due to my job demands and family issues, when Jim and I started working together.  Jim helped me "see the light" about me and my lifestyle/family, through his gentle but direct statements. He helped me make potent choices, administering firm but caring "kicks in the butt", that have really brought change in my current state" -Liz R

"The guidance and encouragement Jim provided over the last number of months has been unbelievable! I know I had lots of questions and ran a lot of different scenarios by him as I wrestled with where I wanted my career to go; yet Jim always responded. Jim helped me learn things and act upon them. I honestly believe that I couldn’t have done it without him"- Pat L

Destine
"Instead of helping me achieve "my best life now" Jim has helped me understand myself in relation to something greater than I am, something mysterious, but also trustworthy. In that context, he has helped me discover how my particular story and personality can act as a small translation of the larger story in order to serve the world in a way that is truly worthy of this life I have been given" –Emily Z

"Jim's generous contributions of activism, support, vision, involvement, and stability contribute to the nature of community in our extended neighborhood--giving reassurance to each of us and among us that no one need struggle alone when there are many resources among us to give and to receive.  Just as they have transformed their house to a home, so have they transformed our neighborhood into a community--with their attention to details for creating a beautiful, calm, and welcoming presence" – Liz V

"Jim is one of those rare individuals who has found his calling and pursues it with complete commitment.  He is a tireless ally in our partnership work to strengthen neighborhoods in the Fox Cities. I have personally benefited tremendously from Jim and have learned that he is a supremely principled person who puts his principles into practice on a daily basis. He’s an absolutely reliable, trusted part of our Neighborhood Partners Network team" –Julie F

Regina:
"I've often pondered if a person wants to know what someone is really like and especially whether to hire them for a spiritual position they should ask that person's spouse or family what life is like in the home  and you'll usually know in an instant if the rubber meets the road.  I'm very grateful to say that Jim lives out his love for God, family, friends, neighbors and strangers on a daily basis.  He rises early every day to be fueled by God in order to give out to others.  His bible is so worn and marked with tons of notes that one sometimes can't even see the verses.  He is purposeful in spending time with me, our adult children and the 2 cutest joys of our lives Alana and Lydia.  He loves playing with them, reading to them, taking them on papa dates and teaching them so many things.  He lovingly challenges AND encourages us all.  He is always reading and learning on a variety of levels and I often get to be the recipient of his knowledge and wisdom.  His involvement in quite a variety of activities keeps him active and ever challenged, growing and learning what it looks like to be a true follower of Jesus!"

Ben (my son):
"My relationship with my dad has been one in which I have vicariously received many life lessons from simply observing his life in being his only son. My dad is truly a God-fearing man; full of wisdom, and always seeking to present his life as a genuine sacrifice to God and others. I have reaped the benefits of his life story, he has taught me much through our relationship that began more as a father-son mentorship and has now transcended into a friendship- which speaks volumes of his character to be able to transition into a deeper relationship which requires greater vulnerability, risk, and trust in myself. His tremendous ability to connect and listen, offer wisdom, and most of all submit things unto God for His purposes make Him an ideal person to have in your corner. I simply cannot recount all that I have learned from who he is as a man, as my dad, as husband, as a leader, and as a follower of Jesus Christ. I am truly thankful that he is my dad"

PASTOR: "I met Jim Case a number of years ago through some neighborhood activities he was organizing.  We have since worked together in a variety of capacities.  I quickly learned that Jim has a passion for helping people see how their unique stories fit into God’s greater work in the community.  Most recently, Jim has served as an executive coach for me and my partner in ministry, as we share leadership of a large church with two sites and multiple staff.  Jim has helped us to understand how each of us uniquely contributes to the team.  He has also helped us navigate sensitive areas of conflict with other staff.  Jim has worked masterfully in leading us to appreciate the variety of personalities at play in our work together, which helped us avoid frustration and unnecessary pain and deeper conflict.  Jim has a true gift for coaching people through sticky areas, problem-solving and asking the right questions to lead to greater understanding and effectiveness in life and ministry.  He is a true gift to me and to many others!" 

–Aaron R (Co- Senior Pastor with Dan below)

PASTOR: "Writing how you have impacted my life and our ministry here at Faith is the easiest thing I’ve ever been asked to do! Two years ago we moved to a model of shared leadership here at our church.  I would now be equally sharing the senior pastor load with a loved and trusted colleague.  We both knew if this partnership was going to work we would need someone to coach us, to ask us the hard questions we might be afraid to ask each other and to hold us accountable for good communication and connectedness.  The Lord led us to Jim and we have been blessed through him in ways we never expected. I appreciate Jim’s discernment - his ability to accurately understand our strengths and growth areas and then bring both secular and Scriptural tools to our conversations to help us grow.  Through Jim’s coaching I better understand myself, our partnership has flourished and the ministry we share has been blessed.  I thank God continually for bringing Jim Case into my life!" –Dan T (Co-Senior Pastor with Aaron above)

 PASTOR: "Jim has been a personal mentor for 10 years. His gentle strength has guided me through my entire marriage, fatherhood, major work transitions, and different seasons of my faith. Jim's wisdom is rooted in God’s Word and his personal experience of God, which he shares with honest vulnerability. For me, spending time with Jim is like reading Oswald Chambers. It is rich, life-giving and spiritually challenging. Jim’s greatest impact on me has been his sincere care for me. His work is a calling not a career. Knowing this, I have always felt safe being fully known by Jim, even in the darkest corners of my life, because he is motivated by sincere love for people. Very few people have had a deeper or life-giving an impact on my life than Jim Case"

–Joel

NON-PROFIT MINISTRY LEADER: "Jim is a true Christian man of integrity, patience and compassion. Jim is a skilled listener, asking questions for clarification and is disciplined to be "present in the moment".  I've seen Jim grow in leadership and he is able to synthesize concepts and help facilitate conversations for the greater good of the community. In fact, community building is a core value and he seeks to bridge groups together for information, inspiration and to implement agreed-upon plans. Serving with Jim will mean you'll get things done ...and develop a strong friendship doing it. Highly recommended!" –Kris W

COMMUNITY ORGANIZER: "I have worked with Jim in a community organization seeking to build bridges across divides.  A key component of our work together has been relational meetings designed to truly listen to another person to learn what he or she cares about enough to act.  Such interest and listening in another begins a relationship built on trust.  Jim has consistently kept our efforts centered on this relational approach---a gift of listening and outreach"- Nancy J

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER: "Jim Case has been a calming and powerful coach/guide/friend/counselor in my life.  Most of my life I have been an ambitious, stressed, hardworking, do-it-yourself CHRISTIAN man.  Even though I invested many, many hours, weeks, months and years pursuing what I thought CHRIST wanted me to be doing with my life, I was not at peace.  Jim very wisely instructed me via GOD'S WORD and Jim's wisdom as a CHRISTIAN coach, on how to live life more on GOD'S Terms and not mine.  I want you all to know that I have been pursuing my goals for 30+ years and have not achieved what I thought was success.  Jim has truly worked with me, candidly and with powerful GODLY direction and wisdom, to pursue our FATHER YAHWEH and not what I want from HIM or from this life.  My relationships with my family, friends and JESUS have truly grown deeply stronger.  I have been able to relax much more and stop trying to do everything, and I do mean everything, on my own.   His strategies have taught me to relax and trust our MAKER to unfold my life as HE sees fit rather than battle with HIM and battle with myself.  I am forever indebted to my friend and mentor Jim Case.  I am very grateful that JESUS CHRIST led me to Jim after extensive prayer and searching.  My wife has told me that I have needed Jim and his CHRISTIAN coaching to bring me much closer to my family and to contentment.  That is a gigantic victory!"

–Tom D

BUSINESS OWNER: "The last several years, I have had the pleasure of Jim investing his time, attention and spiritual insight into my life. His ability to invite me into his life and cultivate an atmosphere of relaxed open and honest dialogue has been timely. The last few years have posed their share of challenges with business, ministry, family, and life. It's great to have someone to lean on! How often does it happen that someone takes the initiative to pursue someone else, without any personal agenda, other than to further the personal interests and faith of another.  It's special to think of Jim as that person in my life. Now before you think I'm painting him to be flawless, you should know, the true beauty of the relationship is his willingness to be honest and transparent about his story and highlight Christ’s redemptive qualities with it! God Bless You Jim, thanks for modeling discipleship!"

–Jason G

ENTREPENEUR & DISCIPLEE: "I want to take a few moments to thank you for your services of Christian Coaching/mentor. God placed you in my life I believe for many purposes. The most significant one was for one on one Christian coaching. I had worked with Christian counselors in the past however they were not quite what I was looking for. I especially enjoyed how you would give biblical examples. Another important piece for me was that you prayed with me. That was something not any Christian counselor had ever done with me. I am very young in my Christian walk and these examples were very eye opening for me. You have a kind, empathetic, patient, respectful demeanor that I felt at ease with. Through you I was born again. I am grateful to have this new purpose and direction in my life. I also gained a lot of perspective with The Saturate Group that you facilitated. I loved the camaraderie of the group and the mission of making disciples.  This group was not any average Christian study group I had experienced either. We really got to know each other. There was much personal growth during and ongoing as a result of this group as well as lasting friendships."

- Melissa K

COLLEGE STUDENT: "To put into words the way Jim has impacted my life is a high and lofty task, for to truly unveil the role he has played in my life would take a novel...maybe two. Yet, I will try to articulate a glimpse of the immeasurable ways I have been blessed and helped by Jim Case.

Today, nearly a decade later, by the grace and mercy of God, I’m able to report with immense joy that I have been freed from this darkness I once faced. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God used Jim’s wisdom and counsel in my life as one of His main instruments to help pave the way into this freedom I now stand in. I am forever grateful for my Savior’s Sovereign hand that placed Jim Case into my path. Jim, thank you." – Anna D


GENERAL:

"I first met Jim almost 12 years ago and from the beginning there was a spiritual bond of attraction with him. We have collaborated on a few things in life but the most significant to me has been a study called "Discovering Purpose and Power".  It took most of 2 years to complete and during that time Jim and I learned the importance of being able to speak into one another’s life in a transparent way. Our relationship over the years has helped me to grow in Christ and become more confident and trusting in my walk with Him. I am honored to have someone, a 'Barnabas' like Jim in my life" –Jeff J

"I cannot begin to put into one paragraph the impact that Jim has had on my life since he has been coaching me.  He is no longer just my life coach, but my friend.  Before we had our first 30 minute coaching time I wrote the following in my journal:  “Father, I need your guidance & wisdom over the next 30 minutes.  Please guide me into the life you have for me.  I ask you to give Jim wisdom as he listens and talks.  I pray that my words and my heart would fall on listening ears in Jim.”  Wow!  This prayer could not have been more prophetic.  I cannot but tell you how my words and often heavy, doubting, questioning heart have not only been listened to, but wisely guided.  Jim has challenged me and spoken truth to me from God’s word and from his own heart.  Jim has lovingly encouraged and spurred me on, even in the midst of great hardship, to pursue the life our loving Father has designed just for me.  I am forever grateful!"  - Tami M

–Nancy W

"I have known Jim and his family for many years. Jim's love for the Lord is manifest in a genuine search and study of himself, God's word and His people. Jim is engaging and encouraging. He desires and helps others to explore avenues of personal and spiritual growth. I believe it is his way of honoring both God and his fellow man and desiring the highest potential in all relationships" –Sue L

"The element of working with Jim that I have found the most valuable are his questions.  They take me to a place I hadn’t previously thought of, take me deeper than I’m comfortable but necessary for growth, all while ensuring that I know he is doing this because he cares and wants to help me achieve my goals" –Becky D

"Life coaching helped me to better understand and embrace how God has crafted me. I have been better able to hone in on my unique calling as His child" - Dave B

"Jim really helped me take a closer look at myself and what is truly important to me. I was able to bring balance to the many demanding areas of my life-to know I am investing appropriately in each while having space to rest, worship, and just "be". Jim's support and insights were much appreciated!" -Mike A

"Jim has been an outstanding listener, validating and calling forth the best in me. Thank you for your challenging encouragement and faithful friendship!" –John K

"The initiative you demonstrated in bringing career clarification to me was exemplary. I appreciate the time, energy and thoughtfulness you exhibited. I know from others you've worked with, this is consistent with your approach...and to experience it first-hand was valued" –Tom W

"This process has been incredible! I really sense God using the time to learn, discuss and perhaps "redefine" those things He is calling me to in ministry. It has been really helpful to think through this with others that I lead"- Eric L

"Where do I begin to express my sincere appreciation for Jim and what we did together. Without his help, I know I never would have been able to move through this major transition to acceptance. This experience has been one of the hardest, but also one of the best things that have happened to me. I have a newfound appreciation and understanding for those who experience major loss. This, for me, is a life-long gift" –Mary S

"Thank-you Jim! Without your guidance, Joanne and my mistake count would have been much higher, and our relationship would not have blossomed to its present state. We are truly united as we have a good time writing this chapter of our life's adventure" - James S

"Through our work together, the relationship with my estranged daughter has dramatically improved. Jim's insights, encouragement and faith in God helped me to trust what my heart wanted all along, and move towards it. I have realized that in any relationship, fear of being hurt again can keep individuals at odds, if that fear is what is focused upon. Jim helped me focus on what I wanted with Liz and to focus on that and move forward, and I didn't have to do it alone"- Kiernan R

"Thanks to my work with Jim I am currently training for a leadership position in the marketplace, which will open the door into my calling as a minister to corporate America. I know myself much better now, according to God's design. And that has made all the difference"- Vicki S

"I will never forget the help Jim provided for me at one of the worst times of my life. I felt hopeless in a role that had dried up within a dying industry, and together we found the courage to make a change. After 22 years, my wife, kids, and I are beginning a new adventure in a new city with an exciting organization! I don't know if I would have made this choice apart from the work we did"- Dave L
