Blessing Ranch Ministries โ Organization Profile
Blessing Ranch Ministries (BRM) is a Christian leader care organization providing professional counseling and coaching for pastors, missionaries, and other ministry leaders. With a stated mission to restore, renew, and equip Christian leaders for effective kingdom service, BRM focuses on the spiritual, emotional, and relational health that supports long-term, sustainable ministry.
BRM is based in Lutz, Florida (Tampa Bay area) and serves leaders โaround the worldโ through a combination of in-person intensives and virtual coaching. The organization describes its approach as an intentional integration of psychology and theologyโgrounding care in Scripture while using clinically informed tools and processes to help leaders identify what hinders healthy life and leadership.
A core service is Intensive Counseling, a focused five-day experience designed for leaders navigating crisis, transition, burnout, marriage strain, or the need for renewed clarity and direction. Intensives are structured around several hours of guided sessions per day, along with reflection and assignments that reinforce insight and change. BRM notes that intensive sessions are led by Dr. Charity Byers or Dr. Brian Stone, and are offered in Lutz, Florida and Kalamazoo, Michigan (with Dr. Stone providing most Kalamazoo sessions and periodic availability in Florida).
Beyond counseling, BRM offers Ongoing Coaching conducted virtually via Zoom, typically in recurring sessions that provide goal-oriented support and accountability for leaders and couples. Coaching options include individual, couple-focused, and group coaching, as well as Restoration Teamsโa structured support process for leaders recovering after crisis or moral failure, facilitated by a BRM professional coach and a surrounding team.
For churches and organizations, BRM has developed the Unhindered Clinical Index (UCI), an assessment and debrief process intended to strengthen ministry teams through deeper emotional and spiritual health insight. In addition, BRM is developing The Ridge, a retreat and renewal hub set on 195 acres in Simpsonville, Kentucky, described as a place for rest, renewal, and transformation for ministry leaders.
People can engage with Blessing Ranch Ministries by referring leaders who need care, inviting team support through UCI and staff experiences, praying for pastoral health, and giving financially to support BRMโs counseling and coaching work and its developing initiatives.
