Joey Coffman
I love spending time with three people who mean everything to me: my lovely wife of 31 years, my son, daughter, and her new husband. And also spending time with myself: surfing, sailing, building fires, playing guitar in local places, writing music, and finding God in ordinary and unordinary spaces.
I enjoy thinking, reading, and quiet places, and I gravitate toward the deeper conversations, especially ones tending toward exploration.
And meeting people where they are is where I like to be. It’s my calling, gifting, and training to help unlock people where they’re stuck. To help them find their voice. To help them steward ambiguity along the way to clarity. To give a framework to the journey, join with them, and then walk it out.
This is living well.
I’m the founder and lead therapist for The Coffman Company. I’m also the co-founder and executive director of 10|10 Ministries, a non-profit that brings professional counseling and restorative retreats to ministry couples in Christian leadership. I graduated from Westmont College (BA) and Fuller Seminary (MDiv) in the 90’s. I’m an active member of the AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors). Over the years I’ve taught at Azusa Pacific University as an adjunct professor of Philosophy, served as a worship pastor, a hospice chaplain, and run a small contracting company.
