Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about The Carbonado Intensive, the gatherings, and working with The Dads Prayer Coach.
About the Coaching
Is the coaching online?
No—this is premium coaching, in person or by phone.
The Private Intensive meets in person around Columbia, Spring Hill, Franklin, and Brentwood, by phone nationwide, or a hybrid of both across the Nashville metro area.
The Group Intensive meets in person with your existing men's group across the Nashville–Franklin–Columbia area.
What is The Carbonado Intensive™?
A 6-week Christian coaching program that helps you build a prayer life that lasts. Week by week, you're refined toward clarity of purpose, real brotherhood, steadfast peace, and enduring joy—grounded in Scripture and Christ-centered prayer. Explore The Carbonado Intensive™ →
Do I need to be a "prayer expert" to start?
No. Most dads who come to me feel like prayer is the thing they're worst at. That's the point. You bring the willingness; I'll teach you one concrete prayer skill every week.
What are the Men's Prayer & Praise Gatherings?
An energized worship gathering for men's ministries and churches. I lead the prayer; your team leads the music. Travel reimbursed, honorarium only—built to serve your ministry, not strain your budget.
Do you work with churches and ministries directly?
Yes. Beyond coaching, I consult with churches and parachurch ministries on building prayer-centered men's ministry. Reach out and tell me what you're building.
Scheduling & Sessions
What happens if I miss a week?
In the Private Intensive, we reschedule. Your sessions are set around your life, so a full week isn't a problem—we find the next time that works.
In the Group Intensive, the group keeps its schedule, but I'll catch you up by phone before the next session so you're not walking in behind.
Are sessions recorded?
No—nothing is ever recorded. What's shared stays between you and your coach, or within your group. This is a place to be honest—confidentiality is critical.
What's the difference between the two tracks?
The Private Intensive is six sessions built entirely around you—your family, your schedule, nothing held back.
The Group Intensive brings the same six weeks to the men you already meet with, in person, groups of twelve or fewer.
Cost
Why is the coaching priced so low?
Because cost shouldn't keep a dad from becoming the man his family needs. Comparable Christian coaching runs $500–$1,700 for groups and $2,000–$4,500 one-on-one. This is premiumcoaching with a professional curriculum that I developed myself after decades of working with men, priced so a working dad can reach it. You can read the full story on my affordability page.
What if it's not the right fit?
The Private Intensive is backed by a 3-Day Risk-Free Guarantee. Try the first session—if it's not right, ask for a full refund within 72 hours and we'll part as friends.
Group Intensive fees are non-refundable once the group's sessions are scheduled, but life happens to men's groups too—reach out and we'll reschedule where the calendar allows.
The Books
Are the Black Diamond Dads books really free?
Yes. Every volume is a free eBook download. They're a ministry tool first—40 true-to-life stories of dads building a legacy of purpose, brotherhood, peace, and joy through Christ-centered prayer.
Spring Hill & Middle Tennessee
Do you offer in-person coaching in Spring Hill?
Yes. In-person is central to how this works. It is my preference.
Private Intensive sessions meet in person around Columbia, Spring Hill, Franklin, and Brentwood, or as a hybrid—some sessions in person, some by phone—across the Nashville metro area.
Group Intensive sessions meet in person across the Nashville–Franklin–Columbia area. Outside that range? Reach out—we'll find a way that works. By phone nationwide.
Are you located in the Nashville area?
Yes. We serve dads, churches, and men’s ministries nationwide, but The Dads Prayer Coach is based in Spring Hill, TN, just south of Nashville in Williamson County.
Still have a question?
Reach out anytime. I read every message myself.
