Welcome to the home of Spade Coaching! I’m glad you’re here!
As a young adult I was unaware…and unaware of how unaware I was regarding some MAJOR life issues. I was auto-pilot skating on a melting pond and could hear cracks coming my way, but God didn’t leave me stuck there… He began placing people, programs, and material on my path that gave me the knowledge […]
About Me
I love telling people how I spent my childhood in the small southern town of Leland, MS and am now back in Missouri (for a second time) after living six years in Wisconsin, because it gets them asking about my journey. There has definitely been one. So between my story and theirs, we’ve always got […]
The Battle Habit Family
What is a Battle Habit? BATTLE…a sustained fight between organized armed forces who fight or struggle tenaciously to achieve or resist something. HABIT…a settled or regular practice that becomes automatic. So…regarding Battle Habits, it’s a term I’m using because it makes sense to me. Battle Habits – values encompassing habits that we build into the […]
Welcome!
Hi, I'm Kelly! Welcome to my landing spot to share passions, lessons learned, and encouragement with you as we plow through this interesting, wonderful, and sometimes painfully shocking journey of life. Emotional baggage, poor life choices, financial, marriage and parenting struggles...these things leave us drained and stagnant. It's time we say "no" to that, and "yes" to what God wants for us - an unstuck life moving maybe just baby steps forward, but moving forward and clinging to the truth of His word to guide us, serving Him with our gifts and talents as we let His grace penetrate the thick walls of our hearts so we can be changed...and change the world around us. Join me on this path that moves forward, one step each day, on this world changing journey that starts in our very own homes.

Promoted Bible Study- Seamless, Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story by Angie Smith
Did you know the entire Bible was written by 40 authors over 1,600 years? That’s mind blowing. It’s incredible that those 66 books tell one vast interconnected story straight from God himself – from creation to the “end times.” And He filled the pages with broken, messy people that He USED to achieve His PURPOSES…shouldn’t that give us hope that we’re not too far-gone for God to use us, too?
Are you a new Christian, a seasoned one, or maybe somewhere in between? Would you like to have a deeper understanding of how the stories in scripture all fit together? Or, as Bible study author Angie Smith puts it, “maybe you understand it from an academic perspective, but you can’t quite get your heart to care.” Maybe you just feel behind in learning the Bible – I have been there…and I still feel that way sometimes.
SEAMLESS, Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story (by Smith) is a 7-session Bible study that weaves the Bible together from beginning to end in a very understandable, relatable way. Her goal is that we better understand the “one seamless story about the God who made us, loves us, redeems us, and has a future for us.”
I can tell you I GOT SO MUCH OUT OF THIS STUDY and even ordered the teen version later on and had my daughter join me for my second go-round (I had to twist her arm a little – you know teenagers!). I wanted to share this with you because I know how much easier it is to get engaged in God’s Word when we are growing in our confidence of what it all actually means. Our goal should be to establish a great life-long habit of studying God’s Word, and in essence, hearing from God regarding His will for our lives (since one of the main ways he communicates with us today is through the reading of His Word!) This can change the trajectory of our lives and the lives of the people we do life with – because the ripple effects are BIG!
