The Man Behind the Mission

Ronald D. Potts is an Arkansas-based fitness and life coach, Marine Corps veteran, Bible teacher, and men's ministry leader. After four years of service in the Marine Corps, Ronald spent years searching for something more — a foundation that could hold the weight of real life. That search led him to faith, not quickly or easily, but through an intellectual journey that ended in humility when God answered his prayer from Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Coming to faith at 39 changed everything. When Ronald sought out a coach for fitness in his early 40s, he discovered he didn't just need a trainer — he needed a mentor. That experience radically transformed his life and planted the seed for RDP Coaching. He became a coach because of the impact a great coach had on him, and because he recognized it as a natural extension of his calling as a Bible teacher and men's ministry leader.

Today Ronald combines over 8 years of Bible teaching and men's ministry with 3+ years of coaching to help men build lives rooted in Faith, fueled by Habit, and expressed through Fitness. Show Up. Do the Work. isn't just a tagline — it's the life Ronald lives every day.

Coaching Services

Every service is built on the same three pillars — Faith, Habits, Fitness. The format changes. The mission doesn't.

01
1-on-1 Fitness Coaching
Personalized training built around your life — not a generic program. Whether you're starting from zero or pushing past a plateau, we make fitness fit your schedule, your goals, and your calling. Your body is a temple (1 Cor. 6:19-20). We treat it that way.

02
Spiritual & Life Coaching
You don't compartmentalize your faith — your coaching shouldn't either. Strategy sessions grounded in Scripture, real accountability, and the kind of honest conversation most men never get. Build clarity, confidence, and a life with direction.

03
Pastor Coaching
Pastors carry everyone else — and most have no one carrying them. This is 1-on-1 coaching built specifically for the man in the pulpit: addressing burnout, rebuilding margin, and helping you sustain the calling without losing yourself in the process. You shepherd your flock. Someone needs to shepherd you.

Gardener & Warrior Program
