ABOUT

I’m Doug Kuhl, a husband, pastor, retired U.S. Army Colonel, and Transformation Architect.
But titles don’t tell my story.

My scars do.

I am a man who has walked through fire and found God’s grace waiting on the other side.

I’ve endured betrayal.

I’ve deployed to Afghanistan.

I led a crisis helpline I poured my heart into only to be laid off when funding disappeared.

I’ve managed million-dollar product lines in the corporate world.
I’ve walked through divorce.
I’ve been falsely accused in the workplace.
I’ve completed years of elite military leadership training from the New Mexico Military Institute to the Army Command and General Staff College leading soldiers, teams, and complex missions under immense pressure.

And I’ve also done things I’m not proud of.

I’ve reached for unhealthy ways to numb pain.
I’ve carried silent battles no one could see.
I’ve looked strong on the outside while quietly breaking on the inside.

I know the man who feels responsible for everything.
The man who stays strong for everyone else.
The man who wonders why despite success, faith, and effort he feels stuck, numb, or disconnected.

I know him…
because I’ve been him.

The Turning Point

It was in those dark, humbling seasons that God rebuilt me.

He restored my identity.
He renewed my mind.
He healed my heart.
And He clarified my calling.

God showed me something most men never learn:

Men don’t change by trying harder.
Men change when they are given a clear pathway.

That revelation became the foundation of my life’s work.

My Calling: Transformation Architect

I am not merely a coach.

I am a Teacher-Architect.
A Curriculum Designer.
A Pathway Builder.
A Framework Creator.

My unique strength is architecting life-changing pathways for men.

I take scattered thoughts, biblical truth, hard-earned wisdom, and the real struggles men face and transform them into clear, practical systems that lead men into freedom, renewed identity, and God-centered purpose.

I help men see the road ahead.
And I give them the tools to walk it with confidence, clarity, and faith.

I am not attention-seeking.
I am impact-seeking.

My heart is to build systems that continue changing lives long after I leave the room helping men grow in grace, strength, and calling for years to come.

MISSION

My mission is to build Christ-centered pathways that lead men into freedom, restored identity, and Spirit-empowered purpose helping them walk in daily transformation and become the men God created them to be.
If you’re ready to stop trying harder…
and start renewing your mind, restoring your heart, and walking in the Spirit…
I’m here to walk with you.

VISION

At Life Coaching with Doug, we are committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where God’s love can bring freedom to the captive, healing to the brokenhearted, and fresh vision to those who long for more.”

I HAVE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE

I know the weight of feeling successful on the outside but empty inside. I’ve wrestled with disconnection, loneliness, and the gap between who I wanted to be and who I really was.

But God met me there. By His grace, I discovered that healing and purpose are possible. Now, as a pastoral counselor, I walk with men through those same struggles, helping them find clarity, connection, and strength in Christ.

You’re not alone. I’ve walked this road, and I know there is hope on the other side.

“For years I felt like I was failing at the things that matter most. At work, I was a respected Army Colonel, but at home, I was a ghost. My wife got the leftovers of my energy, and my kids were growing up while I was distracted.

Deep down, I ached for genuine connection, but I didn’t even know where to start. I was ashamed to admit how lonely I felt, I couldn’t tell anyone because I was supposed to be strong. I was haunted by the gap between the man I pretended to be and the man I actually was.”

But then I realized that the key to overcoming these feelings was to focus on my spiritual, emotional, and mental health. I learned to prioritize my own well-being and my relationships with others, and I reconnected with my faith and my relationship with God.
Now, my life is transformed. I no longer feel like I need to prove myself or constantly achieve more. Instead, I am driven by a deep sense of purpose and connection to myself, to others, and to God.

“Lasting change doesn’t come from more books, courses, or seminars. Real transformation happens when God’s truth moves from head knowledge to daily practice. At Life Coaching with Doug, we provide Christ centered guidance and practical steps that help men live with clarity, confidence, and purpose every day.”
