Gospel-centered Inner Work

Become who you were created to be

Overcome the internal obstacles keeping your from becoming ALL of who you were created to be.

Does this sound like you?

God has laid something on your heart to pursue, but:

  • Whenever you start to make progress in an area, self-doubt or inner criticism creep in and sabotage your best efforts?

  • There are moments when everything seems to be working, but then stress or life's demands completely take you off track

  • At times you feel like you know how to move forward but then find yourself confused, overwhelmed, or at a loss.

Inner Work is the Solution

Because when you get beneath the surface of your life to address challenges at the root––the limiting beliefs, self-defeating habits, or blindspots that underpin them––you focus on what's really keeping you stuck. This doesn't just lead to breakthrough, it leads to wholeness, healing, and lasting change.

What is Gospel-Centered Inner Work?

Inner work is the compassionate process of slowing down, gaining awareness, and inviting God to heal the parts of your heart that you can't see but shape everything you do.

Inner Work is about experiencing:

  • Freedom from guilt, shame, or resentment as you invite Jesus into the broken places of your story.

  • Peace in your inner wellbeing as you create space for God to fill you up and refresh you with His presence.

  • Deep self-awareness as you understand how God uniquely made you and what drives you on an internal level.

  • Breakthrough from self sabotage as you overcome any limiting beliefs, self-defeating habits, or blindspots keeping you stuck.

  • Divine Calling & Purpose as you discover God's unique call on your life and re-ignite the spark that's been dormant within you.

HI, We're Matt & Crystal

We are Christian Life Coaches who specialize in Inner Work.

Our inner work journey began in 2019 after having to close our social business––which made fair-trade coffee cups to raise awareness and funds to fight human trafficking. This left us in a deep valley. It was hard to confront, but we realized that our business didn't close because of the external challenges we faced (because there is always another way forward); it closed because we kept bumping into ourselves and eventually reached a breaking point.

It was in this place that God began leading us to explore our interior life. Along the way, we gained so much insight into how the stories we carry from the past shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present. It was profound.

Our Training

We spent the next half-decade reading all the books, attending all the programs, and gaining all the certifications on our interior life––covering everything from spiritual formation, practical psychology, nervous system training, emotional healing, and more–keeping the nuggets that were truly impactful, and leaving the rest.

We found this so helpful and loved it so much, that we knew we needed to share these insights with others.

As a result, we founded Pursue What Matters Coaching–where we help Christians overcome the internal obstacles keeping them from becoming ALL of who they were created to be.
