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.

That desire led her to earn a BA in Psychology from Pepperdine University, and to seek training through Youth With A Mission and Transformational Prayer Ministry. 46 years of lay ministry experience has equipped her with an understanding of the challenges faced by Kingdom leaders.

As a Certified Transformational Coach, she brings her life experience and training and partners with the Holy Spirit to facilitate powerful transformational moments with those who desire to connect: Connect to the Father to discover their true identity, connect to their hearts to unearth forgotten dreams, passions, desires and the source of obstacles that sometimes prevent forward movement, and connect to others to experience community, resources, favor, and those they are called to serve. Her book, Reduced to a Whisper, is available on Amazon.
