Gentle Guidance Through The Storm
Welcome, friend.
You are safe here.
Life can leave people carrying wounds they were never meant to carry alone.
Lighthouse Coaching was created to offer compassionate, faith-centered support for adults seeking healing from trauma, emotional pain, spiritual struggles, grief, unhealthy patterns, and difficult life transitions.
The heart behind Lighthouse Coaching is simple: We help people reconnect with hope, rediscover their identity, and move forward with renewed strength emotionally, spiritually, and personally.
Many people silently battle the effects of trauma, fear, shame, and spiritual oppression. Working with a professionally trained Deliverance Coach provides you with a safe, non-judgmental, supportive space where healing conversations can begin.
You may be thinking...
What exactly is a Deliverance Coach?
A professionally trained coach that specializes in helping people break free from the spiritual, emotional and trauma strongholds in their lives.
And how does a Deliverance Coach do that?
By using a combination of spiritual warfare (prayer, fasting, meditation, etc.) and traditional coaching models to help you work through healing, repentance, spiritual and personal growth.
Meet Your Coach,
James Van Gorder
James Van Gorder is a Christian Deliverance and Inner Healing Coach dedicated to helping individuals break free the strongholds that hold them captive. Having endured a childhood marked by abandonment, abuse, and control, James understands firsthand the deep pain that many carry alone and in silence.
After losing his wife to suicide after 34 years of marriage, James faced overwhelming grief, but through faith in Jesus Christ, he experienced profound healing, restoration, and freedom. Today, he is passionate about guiding others through a journey of inner healing, helping them confront past wounds, renew their minds, and walk in the freedom and identity God has for them.
Through compassionate coaching, biblical truth, and Spirit-led deliverance, James creates a safe space for those who feel broken, stuck or bound...offering hope that healing is not only possible, but promised.
A deliverance coaching session is not about fear, shame, or pressure — it’s about creating a safe, Christ-centered space where healing can begin.
Sessions are designed to help you gently uncover emotional wounds, unhealthy patterns, spiritual struggles, or past experiences that may be keeping you feeling stuck, weighed down, or disconnected from peace and purpose.
Through conversation, prayer, Biblical encouragement, and guided inner healing work, James walks alongside clients with compassion and discernment. Some sessions may focus on trauma, grief, emotional pain, spiritual oppression, destructive habits, or strongholds that seem difficult to break.
Every session is approached with care, patience, and respect for your personal journey.
Many clients leave sessions feeling lighter, more grounded, spiritually strengthened, and more connected to God’s truth, healing, and freedom in their lives.
