THE TEAM

Caleb Elrod

Founder & Visionary Leader - GTS Life

I'm a husband, dad, speaker, and growth coach - but at my core, I'm simply someone God rescued, restored, and repurposed for His glory.

My Journey

There was a season when I was lost in plain sight. Life looked fine on the outside, but inside, I was running on empty. Grief, exhaustion, and uncertainty clouded my purpose. I was doing a lot for God, but not really walking with Him.

In that season, I found myself asking questions that cut deep: Who am I? Why am I here? What have I done with the life God gave me?

Then one night, it was as if the Lord whispered a question right back: "What did you do with My life?" That question broke me and began to build me again.

I stopped trying to write my own story and started letting God write His through me. Layer by layer, He peeled back fear, pride, and performance until I could finally see who I was: a son, redeemed and sent with a purpose.

That how GTS Life was born - not from a grand plan, but from grace. God took my weakness and turned it into a movement to help others find the same freedom.

What I've Learned Along the Way

I've discovered that calling isn't something you chase; it's something you cultivate. It grows in surrender, humility, and obedience - one small "yes" at a time.

Today, I carry those lessons into every conversation, retreat, and mentoring relationship. I use tools God's placed in my hands - as a Grip-Birkman Certified Coach, John Maxwell

Team Coach, and Prepare-Enrich Facilitator - to help others grow in their gifts, thrive in their purpose, and serve with joy.

A Glimpse into My Life

I've been married to my wife, Genevieve, for two decades, and together we homeschool our two boys - our greatest adventure and greatest joy. We live just outside Dallas, where life includes baseball games, outdoor walks, and meaningful conversations around the table.

Before GTS Life, I spent years in business and ministry - from working with the Dallas Cowboys organizations to helping grow small businesses and serving churches both in the U.S. and abroad. Each step shaped my understanding that leadership is simply love in action.

Why I Do What I Do

Because I've seen what happens when people rediscover who they are in Christ. I've seen hearts healed, gifts awakened, and churches revived.

I believe your story matters and that God can use every broken place as soil for somehting beautiful.

GTS Life is my "yes" to that truth: a ministry born out of brokenness, built by grace, and sustained by the power of God to transform lives - one seed, one story, one life at a time.

"I was lost, but now I live found - so that others might find their way home."

Genevieve Elrod

Community Director & Executive Assistant

I'm a wife, mom, teacher, curriculum developer, and creative guru - but at my core, I'm a small town girl who loves Jesus.

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here.

I have a heart for encouraging women to see life through the lens of faith. My passion is helping women of all ages embrace their past, walk confidently into their future, and let God turn their messes into miracles.

My own story has been shaped by both heartbreak and hope. After losing our firstborn daughter, Faith, and learning to live with a challenging autoimmune disease, God has taught me how to find beauty in the chaos and purpose in the pain. He’s shown me that He’s in the business of creating beauty from ashes—and that He can use each of us, in both big and small ways, to do something meaningful in His name.

I love walking alongside women like you as you discover your worth and purpose in Christ, see the roses among the thorns, and pursue your unique calling to love and serve others right where you are.

Outside of ministry and homeschooling our boys, you can usually find me enjoying the great outdoors, cheering on a game, reading a good book, writing, or experimenting in the kitchen.
