Christian Counseling for Coaching

“. . . by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors, there is victory.” – Proverbs 24:6

If you have never heard of coaching it might be a confusing term at first. Coaching is a type of relationship in which one person helps another to achieve their goals. Perhaps you want to become a more patient person or maybe you want to develop heretofore unrealized talents and abilities. Maybe you want to learn a new skill.

Coaching helps you to evaluate and set realistic goals for your life, avoid pitfalls, and achieve real change in accordance with God’s will. Coaches make use of theological, organizational, analytical, and counseling expertise to help you get to where you want to be.

A life coach will ask questions like:

• What is your vision for yourself?
• What is your purpose in life?
• How might you benefit from better organized thinking?
• What are some realistic short and long-term goals for the future?
• Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years? Twenty years?
• What are some areas of success in your life that you want to see more of?

Your answers to these questions will help your coach understand you so that they can help you develop realistic and attainable goals. Once your goals have been established, your life coach will help you develop an action plan for achieving them, providing reliable and constructive feedback along the way.

This kind of accountability will help foster an environment of personal tenacity increasing your chance for success.
