“Coaching is different because the answer is in the person.” —Jason Cook

When purpose and people collide, transformation happens. In this episode of the Dream Out Loud Podcast, we’re joined by Jason Cook—Lead Pastor of Valley Church in Roanoke, VA, life coach, and athletics coach. Jason shares how the key to coaching others begins with being coachable yourself, and how he’s navigated seasons of pastoring, coaching athletes, and mentoring individuals through life’s messier moments. He unpacks the overlap between spiritual leadership and sports coaching, highlighting the value of discovery-based growth and the surprising power of silence in breakthrough conversations. Jason also shares about his newest initiative, 5 for Kingdom, and the importance of investing in people above all else. It’s a down-to-earth, high-impact conversation for anyone passionate about purpose, progress, and pouring into others.
