The Christian life, all things are great after salvation. No concerns, no worries, have life laid out in front of you so you know exactly what to do next, WRONG!
Have you ever struggled with God's will for your life? What are we supposed to be doing? and is what I am doing now, right? It can be very confusing!
This is where a Christian Coach comes into play. Not giving you the answers, but exploring with direction on what are your gifts and talents? What does the bible say about our life? Is there really a blue print to life? and is it really difficult to fine the will of God?
No it is not, with guidance and the Holy Spirit asking the right questions.
What does Christian Coaching look like?
Just as a lighthouse serves as a guide to aid navigation through water, i.e., moving ships from one place to another, coaches serves as a guide to aid navigation through life by helping a person move from one place to another. Looking back several centuries, a coach was a horse-drawn vehicle that took a person from where they were to where they wanted to be.
With the passage of time, a coach became a person who assisted a person or persons (aka "team") from where they were (ordinary) to where they want to go (champions). Coaches are still most prominently associated with athletics, but also provide great service in the arts (e.g., singing,speaking,acting, ect.) and more recently in business and churches.
Coaching is a one-on-one method of helping another person grow and change. Instead of teaching a set curriculum, coaches start with where you are, help you define where you want to grow, and then help you get there.
Coaching is based on the idea that leaders take responsibility for their own growth. So instead of giving advice or telling you what to do, coaches ask questions to help you sharpen your own discernment of what God has for you.
In essence, coaches co labor with people to build or define their vision and then be transformed for the better as they pursue that vision. A coach is a partner who walks with you for a season, provides feedback, a fresh perspective, and gentle pressure to move forward.
