Christian life coach fi nds
rewards through helping others
By Angel Carpenter
Blue Mountain Eagle
In his 35 years as a counselor and ed-
ucator, Paul C. Smith said he’s discov-
ered his most rewarding work is helping
people fi nd their own answers and reach
their potential.
Smith had practiced Christian counsel-
ing and life coaching in the past, from 1994
through 2008, and after having people ask
if he’d consider doing it again, he decided
to open his fi rm DestinyRise in February.
He has a master’s in education in
counseling psychology and has been a
certifi ed family life educator and col-
lege psychology instructor for 20 years.
He was also the Grant County program
manager for early childhood special ed-
ucation and early intervention and was
Grant County Education Service District
curriculum director, school improvement
and grant specialist for several years.
Semi-retired, Smith currently works
as an education consultant for Long
Creek School District, and he is a John
Day city councilman.
Through DestinyRise, he holds consul-
tations with individuals and couples at his
offi ce at 126 NW Canton St. in John Day.
In visiting with his clients, Smith said
he facilitates, guides and teaches to help
them fi nd their own answers, opening up
new perspectives and ways of thinking.
“I ask, ‘Where do you want to be in fi ve
or 10 years?’ and help people fi nd answers
that they already have inside of them —
they just haven’t found it yet,” he said.
Smith said Christian life coaching is
not psychotherapy.
He said, while psychotherapy is gen-
erally about the past and the present,
addressing painful life traumas, mental
health disorders, etc., life coaching is
about the present and especially the fu-
ture.
Coaching, he said, assists a person
through questioning and challenging to
discover their own life answers includ-
ing a greater ownership of their unique
strengths.
Two common problems for people
struggling, Smith said, are when couples
grow apart or a person lacks God at the
center of their life.
“We all have seasons, we grow and
change and we can either grow together
or grow apart,” he said.
He helps clients with personal and ca-
reer goal-setting, motivation and fi nding
their potential, as well as stress manage-
ment and personal wellness. He also helps
couples who are considering marriage
and those who seek marriage enrichment
and better communication.
“We have to challenge the status quo,
and we’ve got to be willing to embrace the
present and create our own future,” he said.

a free initial consultation, call Smith at

575-1326.
