James Andrews

Marketplace Chaplain and Author

Dr. J.R. Andrews is a Marketplace Chaplain & Soul-Centered Success Strategist who helps high-achieving leaders and lovers succeed without losing their souls. Founder of InnerShift360, he lives at the intersection of faith, performance, and emotional health—translating spiritual care into real-life strategies for boardrooms, businesses, and kitchen tables. A chaplain with over two decades of ministry, a former attorney, and a seasoned real estate entrepreneur, he speaks fluent C-suite, church, and group chat all at once.

After years of chasing “success” the hard way, he discovered what he now teaches: if your inner life is bankrupt, the outer wins don’t matter. Through InnerShift360, he helps leaders trade toxic grind for grace, purpose, and peace, proving that profit and impact don’t have to cost you your sanity or your spirit. He is the author of InnerShift: Spiritual Care in the Age of Distraction and Just Sayin’: A Faithful Man's Guide to Dating with Purpose, Pace & Peace, where he shows up as the wise, witty big brother helping women date and live with better boundaries and deeper peace.

Off the clock, J.R. is a proud girl dad and boy dad to his son, Jaden, a devoted fiancé to Katrina, and the unofficial family chaplain who can turn a car ride, a crisis, or a cookout into a masterclass on hope and grown-folk wisdom. He loves Spartan races and anything that feels like adult recess with mud, because obstacle courses are cheaper than therapy and better for your cardio. When he’s not preaching, teaching, or coaching, you’ll find him with a good playlist in his ears, proving that sometimes the holiest thing you can do is lift something heavy, laugh loud, and remember that your soul should never be the down payment on your success.
