Bernie McGraw has spent his last 38 years as a full time worship pastor, leading people into God’s presence, at 3 churches. While becoming a seasoned worship leader, he used his pastors heart and skill sets to help develop people in personal development, many times walking along side people during their darkest seasons.
The motivation for transitioning out of that role and now into the role of ministry coach, was his own personal experience. There were several times in his journey he would have welcomed to have someone walk beside him, if for no other reason then to have someone to talk about the situation in a safe place. Over the last few years, he has spent some intentional time with younger pastors and realized that the need is great for leaders to have a someone to partner with.
Having a pretty powerful health transformation in 2018, he is paying it forward to coach people, but especially help ministry leaders be the best version of themselves that they can be. Knowing the body is the temple, we cannot separate body, soul and spirit. All three must be in congruence for the person to thrive.
Bernie has been married for 35 years to his bride, Heidi and together they have 5 children and 6 grandchildren.
