About Us

Kristin is a Southern Georgia belle, who graduated from UGA as a veterinarian May 2010. Carter grew up in NC, went on to seminary, became an ordained pastor, and has completed his doctorate of ministry. After retiring from full-time ministry, Carter is thoroughly enjoying being a financial advisor (and volunteering on the ministry side of things). After about a month of emailing, asking questions, and going through the steps of eharmony.com, we were full of excitement and became very eager to meet one another face to face. October 25, 2009, we met and enjoyed every minute together. We had no doubt God was going to strengthen our relationship with Him as well as with one another. Carter proposed August 9, 2010 on the boat in the middle of Lake Wylie at sunset. Kristin said "Yes" after some happy tears. We got married April 2, 2011 and what an amazing beautiful day that was! God has continued to bless us throughout our marriage. On May 18, 2017, our family grew when God gave us our son, Micah. We look forward to see what He has in store for us each and every day. We are super blessed to be serving the Lord wherever we are. God is constantly surprising us with new callings!

March: Pastor's Porch

by The Robinsons
On Sunday, February 19th, I preached about heart change....
I wanted to take a moment and re-challenge ourselves and ask the question: “How is your heart of worship?”
After the king was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, he said to Nathan the prophet, "Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent." (2 Samuel 7:1-2 )
We talked about how David had a heart of worship. His heart was so much on worshipping God that David made it a priority.
I said there were 3 ways to show and prove that you have a heart of worship:
1. Make Sunday Morning Worship a priority.
On your weekly calendar, is Sunday Morning Worship something that is on it and you rarely, if ever, have a conflict? If you do, it’s not because conflicts don’t come up. There is ALWAYS something OTHER to do than come to church. But do you take worship seriously enough to say NO and to actually make Sunday Morning Worship the 1# priority? Yes, that can be hard to do. So I ask the question then: How is YOUR heart of worship? If worship is what you do on Sundays when there is nothing else to do or if worship is not something that you do on a weekly basis, then maybe you need a heart of worship transplant.
2. Sing like no one is listening.
When David returned home to bless his household, Michal, daughter of Saul, came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!” David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.” (2 Samuel 6:20-22)
David, King of the united and of Israel, praised God with all that he was! His wife was embarrassed of him dancing in the streets, and she complained to him. David replied, “I will become even more undignified than this!” David didn’t care who was watching; he was out of control in his worship of God. When was the last time that you got so out of control worshipping God that people complained? Has it EVER happened to you before?
David was considered “A Man after God’s Own heart.” David was a singer. Before he was king, he would sing to King Saul. David is credited with the authorship of the majority of Psalms. I think part of the reason that David was a man after God’s own heart was because he was always singing and worshipping God. Do you have a heart to worship Him through song? If not, what is it going to take to get your heart there?
“Sing to the Lord, all the earth proclaim His salvation day after day!” (1 Chronicles 16:23)
3. Worship through-out life.
Being a part of weekly corporate worship is VITAL. It is a key element to our faith to worship with the Body of Christ. I would go as far to say that we really can’t even claim to follow Christ if we are not willing to be a part of the Body of Christ and worship together weekly. But there is more. Worship is also a daily heart matter. Our hearts should be so set on God that our daily lives should be as of worship to God. Everything we do should glorify Him.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, at present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:1-2)
How is your heart of worship? Do you need heart surgery? A heart tweak? An open heart surgery? Or a complete heart transplant?
No matter where you are, God wants you to have a heart of worship for Him. He WILL help you change or transplant your heart when you are ready.
Are you ready? What about today?

Lord God, please give me a heart of worship, to worship with your body (the church) weekly, to sing like no one is watching, and to live a life of worship. I know I have a long way to go. But please, Lord, give me a heart that pleases You. Amen.

Jump into Coaching with Kristin

by The Robinsons
         What does life/leadership coaching with me, Kristin, look like?  Here are a few descriptions straight from a few of my clients:

“Kristin has a tuned ear for listening. She’s patient and insightful. Whenever we talk, I can tell that she genuinely wants me to do well in life.” 

"I was very skeptical at first, but I have been amazed how the experience thus far has captured my subconscious and sometimes irrational thought processes."  

“Coaching with Kristin has helped me prioritize what things I need to be focusing on to move toward my life goals. She has helped me verbalize and realize some things I probably knew were there but just didn’t give much thought to before. Not to mention, I love the accountability!” 

My quick summary: Coaching allows the space for my clients to grow, think out loud, set some goals, see how awesome they really are, and to reach for goals using their full potential to be exactly who they were created to be.  My clients have realized there is always room for growth in a variety of areas in life!  I am able to listen and ask you questions from a place of love as well as from a heart full of compassion, patience, and acceptance.

A few of my own personal experiences:  When I was being coached, I grew leaps and bounds in regards to…
       *Being a pastor’s wife…the wife God called me to be
       *Becoming a new mom super soon
       *How to keep being ME and not letting all my other titles degrade who I truly am
       *How to keep a healthy balance in life
*How to work through rumors/criticisms/lies that arise about those I love
       *To be reminded I am not alone
       *Prioritizing my crazy non-stop “to do” lists
*Being excited to keep “date nights” despite the discouragement and pull from other areas of life, like ministry and my husband fulfilling his call as a pastor
*How to use the gifts and talents God has given me in a variety of life fields
*How great putting “the littlest things” on my calendar can really be
       *How to be productive AND still get rest and sleep

And that’s just to name some of many!  WOW, talk about powerful and uplifting!!!!  Life changing!
      
With that being said, I know coaching can be super rewarding for any spouse, college student, student transitioning into the work force, medical professional, educator, one happy already in their career, and for that matter ANY body who is ready to grow into an even better YOU…someone ready to move in the awesome forward direction from where you are now to where you want to be. 

Are you (or somebody you know) ready to gain the most out of life?

When was the last time you set a goal or a dream and actually accomplished/reached it?

Are you ready to live life to your FULL potential?

Want to get out off your plateau and continue growing?

Need some encouragement and uplifting?

Whether it’s you or someone else you know, any and everybody can gain benefits from coaching.  Let me know if you are ready to jump on the Transformational Robinson Coaching train!  Let’s get a FREE session on our calendars.  Don’t miss out!  You’ll be glad you did it!  So many don’t have a clue about what coaching really is.  The best way to find out is to experience it yourself!!!!  Look forward to hearing from YOU, your friends, your colleagues, your family members, and whoever else you have in mind soon!

Coaching with Carter

by The Robinsons
      I wanted to take a moment to tell you more about life coaching with me, Carter. Coaching is a powerful time where space is given for the client to grow and put together action steps to get them where they want to be in life.  It has personally helped me build confidence as a pastor, to create a better balance between ministry and home, to live a more fulfilling life, to not just accept what I get, but to actually get what I want to accept.  Coaching has helped me connect to God and learn more about what makes me tick.

       I think coaching is a powerful gift to any pastor, college student, young adult, or anyone who is working to be more than they are currently and all that God wants them to be from here on out.


         Do you know someone or are you yourself ready to get more out of life?  Ready to accomplish goals and dreams that you have been putting off or thinking you might never get to because they have just been dreams for so long?  Please share my contact with whoever you are thinking is ready for this transformation, or if you are ready, let’s chat!  I’m trying to get as much experience as possible coaching, and I am reaching out to see if you would be willing to try out coaching.  I offer a 1 hour “How can coaching transform my life” free session.  I know as I have talked to folks that many people really aren’t exactly sure what “coaching” is, and honestly, the best way to find out is experience it for yourself!
