Our Mission
Total Life Pursuit helps people live healthy and joyful lives with greatness in every area, being compelled by their personal mission through coaching, encouragement and equipping.
We believe Jesus designed us to live remarkable lives. We believe His design is for great marriages, families, health, and a high sense of well-being in all of life. He said so in John 10:10. Our purpose is to help people live that life as it was designed by God. We awaken the greatness within each of us to live a remarkable life that is compelled to be lived and scheduled according to our God-ordained mission.
Our special focus for to provide strengthening, encouragement, and help for pastors and leaders, and to prepare the next generation of pastors and leaders to live remarkable, balanced, healthy, mission-driven lives in every area.
How do you get from here to there? From where you are to where you want to be? It always good to have an outside perspective, but you can have the perspective and coaching from Terry whose life's mission is to help you live remarkable.
Life and Health coaching
We all want to be inspired! Whether it is in health and fitness, getting rid of toxic thinking, stress reduction, taking control of your life and schedule or deepening your relationship with God, Terry will create an atmosphere of “can do”, with practical encouragement and have your group laughing at their roadblocks as they plot out their next steps to live remarkably.
Get inspired, hear encouragement, and leave feeling filled.
Motivating Speaker
We get it, fitness is personal, no two people are alike and most of us don't know where to start. If you're serious about your body reflecting what's on the inside, book a session with our trainer for either online training or at the gym today.

I grew up in an average family, was average at sports, was average in school, and pretty much was average in all of life except I had eight kids. One day, it dawned on me that I was not meant for average. God spoke to my heart and told me I would never go beyond my mindset! My average thinking was stopping me from EVERYTHING that I wanted. Life was good, but I always longed for greatness. I just never thought it could be attained…, by me. That day changed my life. Now, I focus and apply myself toward greatness in every area of life. I am 64, with 8 kids, 7 wonderful inlaws, and 22 grandkids. I enjoy my relationship with my Creator more than ever. I am still madly in love with my wife of 39 years, in better shape than in my 30's, and excelling in other areas more than ever. I love hanging out with my kids and grandkids, being outdoors, lifting weights, surfing, camping, and biking, growing in knowledge, and applying that knowledge to my life. I absolutely love helping others reach their God-given potential.
