Find a Certified RS Coach

Welcome! I’m grateful you’re here, exploring what relational spiritual coaching can add to your life.
My name is Tim Barber, and I’ve devoted over seven decades to growing in faith, relationships, and service. My journey has blended pastoral leadership, in-depth counseling, and lifelong spiritual exploration. If you’re seeking a coach with experience, empathy, and a nonjudgmental space to grow, let me tell you a bit about how I guide others to deeper connection with Christ and with themselves.

About My Path and Calling

I grew up in the nurturing environment of a Christian home, with parents who instilled in me the values of compassion and integrity. My academic journey took me through Trevecca Nazarene University, Nazarene Theological Seminary (M.Div), Cincinnati Christian University (M.A.C. Counseling), and Asbury Theological Seminary (D.Min). Over 21 years as a pastor, and now as the principal owner of a counseling center in Cincinnati, I have walked alongside people from all walks of life.
Throughout my vocation, I discovered my deepest fulfillment in supporting individuals as they encounter the transformative love of Christ. While counseling brings many rewards, my heart is drawn to walking with others as they navigate meaningful questions of faith, relationships, and personal growth.

My Coaching Approach

I meet you where you are—without expectation, pressure, or judgment. Whether you’re wrestling with faith, longing for a more vibrant spiritual life, or seeking clarity in your relationships, I offer a secure place for honest exploration. My approach combines deep listening, practical guidance, and spiritual encouragement rooted in decades of lived experience.

A Little About Me

Peggy, my wonderful wife and best friend, and I met during our university years. We’ve been married for 48 years, blessed with three adult children and six lively grandchildren. This beautiful family journey has further shaped how I help others strengthen faith and relationships in real life.
