Introduction
Introduction to Christian Coaching
lock

In the last 10-15 years, the field of life coaching has significantly exploded. It has emerged as a new profession that has given people who don’t require counseling an opportunity to seek an alternate kind of professional (a life coach) to help accomplish important life goals. The significant thing about life coaching, which is considered a helping profession is that individuals in other helping professions such as medical, clergy, counseling, education is now incorporating life coaching into their area of expertise.

Christian Life Coaching: Definition
Coaching From a Christian Perspective
lock

The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential." Life coaching is for those who are emotionally and mentally healthy but ready to grow.


Christian Life Coaching is one of the numerous niches within the life coaching field. This niche approaches coaching from a Christian perspective, empowering individuals to produce extraordinary results in their personal lives, ministries, secular careers, and academics. Some of the concepts behind Christian life coaching are biblical. We are called to "encourage one another and build each other up" (1Thessalonians 5:11).
We see Paul exhorting believers to live holy lives.

We are told to "carry each other's burdens" (Galatians 6:2). The Christian life coach comes alongside the clients inviting God into the coaching relationship to help steer them from where they are to where God desires them to be in their life's journey.

 

According to the Christian Coaches Network International (CCNI), the following is what sets Christian life coaching apart from secular life coaching:

Christian coaching is being able to:
-invite the Holy Spirit into the conversation in a three-way partnership
-let the Holy Spirit direct the coaching conversation
-directly ask questions pertaining to the integration of faith
=encourage the client to consider God’s will and plan
-allow the expression of the client’s faith to grow
-challenge the client to view life from a biblical perspective
-foster awareness, create actions and put together solutions using scriptural references,
-encourage the client’s transformation more into the image of Christ.

The field of life coaching is advancing rapidly. Many people around the world can attest to the success of life coaching in their lives; they have witnessed transformations in their personal and professional lives. Within the body of Christ, there is a tremendous need for Christian coaches. Christians are called to excellence in life and ministry. 1Timothy 4:12b says. “but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and
purity.” Life coaching provides a framework to assess, develop and grow these key areas. The independent perspective and direct approach from a Christian life coach will allow the individual to eliminate blind spots and receive expert spiritual counsel, direction, and encouragement.
