Leadership growth happens in the deep water.
It is internal, intentional, and can’t be ignored.

Yet, many leaders remain unaware and inattentive to the unseen operating system of their lives.

We believe long-term, sustainable impact only comes from relationally-connected leadership with an integrated view of personal growth and organizational performance. We want to see you become healthier so that you can unleash cultural and kingdom impact wherever you lead!

Unleash your character, courage, and capacity.

What we do.

We bring customized solutions to you and your leadership, specific to your unique challenges, by facilitating distinct leadership environments that help leaders face what they need to face. Through these environments, we equip leaders with practices and platforms that foster personal and professional growth that are rooted in relationship, character, and spiritual formation.

  • "We've been working with Dave for the past 6 years, both as a staff and as individual leaders. There are a lot of coaches who specialize in helping teams with strategy and best practices. Those things are certainly within Dave's wheelhouse, but he combines those important functions of a team with the necessary "heart work" that lies beneath the surface. As leaders, we often focus primarily on the churning we see at the surface, such as problems with expectations and communication among the team. However, Dave takes us below all of that to help us examine our emotions and motivations. I honestly don't know of anyone who has the unique skill set and perspective Dave has. He is genuinely a friend of leaders who wants you not only to "accomplish the task", but to do so for the right reasons, the right motivations, and the right heart."

  • "Through Dave’s coaching, I was able to better understand and put language to emotions, reactions, and needs that I didn’t even know I had as a leader. These insights have also proved invaluable in my personal life as well as my effectiveness in Ministry."

    Tim Winters , Executive Pastor | Shepherd Church

  • “I was introduced to Dave at a critical point in my leadership journey when I had more questions than answers about how to navigate a particularly challenging season. His wisdom, candor, and kindness allowed me to process in a safe place with effective tools to help me diagnose what I was feeling and develop a plan to move forward. My life and my leadership are both healthier because of his expert coaching.”

    Aaron McClary , Executive Pastor | Northside Christian Church

  • "The coaching that Dave has done with our team has impacted our church in ways that have completely changed the DNA of our leadership. He has equipped myself, our executive team, staff, and even elder team in a way in which strategic alignment and personal development has made us exponentially healthier. His organizational knowledge partnered with character development and coaching is unlike anything we’ve experienced."

    Cody Walker , Senior Pastor | Hope City Church

  • "Dave has earned our full trust due to his unique ability to identify where we are and provide wise counsel regarding necessary changes that need to be made. We often comment that we can’t imagine where we would be without his help."

    Greg Anderson , Executive Pastor | Traders Point Christian Church

  • "Dave's coaching has been transformative in my personal and professional life. His incredible insight and ability to teach how the deep waters of my life drive the way I lead is unlike any book I've read or coach I've had. He has given me the tools to lead from a healthy place in my home and in my ministry."

    Will Partin , President | GO Ministries, Inc.

  • "RLS has helped us solve problems we didn't even know we had with areas of team connectivity and trust. Our team now communicates with one another at a more empathetic level, cutting through the surface and getting right to the root of leadership and team needs."

    Dave Smith , Executive Pastor
