Who is the coach?
Mark Brouwer is a passionate advocate for men who want to live with purity in an impure world. He has ministered in variety of capacities: as a musician, pastor, and church planter. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Concordia College, in Moorhead, Minnesota; and received his Master of Divinity (cum laude) from Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is currently working on his certification as a Life and Leadership Coach from the International Coaching Federation, and Certified Christian Sex Addiction Specialist (CCSAS) from the American Association of Christian Counseling. He is currently a member of Recovery Coaching International.
Mark has been the founding pastor of two churches: In 1992 he started North Austin Community Church in Austin, Texas (a daughter church of Sunrise Christian Reformed Church, in Austin). In 1998, he started Bridgewood Church in Savage, Minnesota (a daughter church of Wooddale Church, in Eden Prairie). He has served on the Home Mission Board of the Christian Reformed Church, consulted with many church planters, and written articles on leadership for such magazines as The Banner, and Leadership Journal.
Early in 2006, he left his role as senior pastor of Bridgewood Church, and partnered with Dr. Mark Laaser in his work with men struggling with sexual purity. He currently serves as Director of Training for Faithful and True Ministries. He is also the founder and principal of Kendall Life Resources, which provides coaching for men who want to live with purity and integrity, leaders who want to expand their leadership without shrinking their souls, as well as recovery coaching for addicts seeking to re-build their marriages and lives. He lives with his wife Charlene and their two sons in Savage, Minnesota.
