Dr. Justin Tilghman
For the past 10 years, I've been working with clients around the world, helping them build resilience and find the clarity and direction needed to lead lives of freedom, purpose, and flourishing, as God intended.
I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experience into our coaching relationship. My goal is to help you grow in self-awareness and translate that growth into deeper connections with yourself, God, and others.
Humans are relational beings, which is part of what we Christians would call the imago dei (image of God) within us. I firmly believe that we reach our fullest potential by developing a strong sense of self-awareness, building healthy and meaningful connections with others, and establishing a secure attachment to God.
My work is grounded in my Christian faith and the belief that every human being possesses an innate wealth of potential that God has placed within them. I believe the work of Jesus Christ forms the foundation of our connection with God and is the basis for our growth and transformation. I am passionate about helping my clients connect with God's heart for them and live the lives of freedom and flourishing that He desires for them.
My deepest desire is to see each of my clients—whether individuals, leaders, or teams—live and operate with a deep sense of joy, strong connections with God and others, and the emotional strength to handle what life brings their way.
I serve on the pastoral staff at Grace Fellowship Church and live in my hometown with my wife and two boys.
