Christian Coaching


Christian coaching.Christian coaching is for people who desire a more balanced, meaningful, fulfilling and abundant life. Are you hoping to do things differently, or are you looking for different things to do? This may be the moment for you to take time for yourself.

 

 

 

Coaching is not about looking back, but looking ahead. It’s about helping you to:

  • Discover a life purpose;
  • Get out of a rut;
  • Find and articulate clear values;
  • Gain courage to take risks;
  • Manage change effectively;
  • Nurture a closer walk with God;
  • Appraise performance;
  • Map a clearer vision for the future;
  • Find meaning in what one is doing;
  • Learn to see and think differently;
  • Much, much more...

 

“Coaching is helping others to feel inspired and motivated to grow themselves.”   --Lou Tice

 

Christian coaching is unique in a number of ways:

  1. God, Jesus Christ is at the core of who we are. Therefore, He is the guide for all our coaching work. What we believe influences who we are, and that in turn impacts everything we do.
  2. As a coach we, rarely advise someone or tell them what to do. Instead we encourage them to set their own goals and directions, crystallize their own visions, and formulate their own mission statements and plans of actions. Ultimately, however, I coach people to become fully devoted to Jesus Christ.
  3. As your coach, I pray regularly for you and may discuss spiritual matters with you.

 

“Coaching can powerfully impact the lives of people as we help them more fully embrace Christ’s abundant life”.---Christopher McCluskey

 

Christian coaching is not "discipleship". Discipleship typically centers on teaching Biblical truth and spiritual disciplines. As your coach, I become your cheerleader and encourager. I help you find your purpose in life and the extraordinary vision God has created for you. As Elizabeth and Gifford Pinchot once stated, "The goal of coaching is not in fixing what is broken, but in discovering new talents and new ways to use old talents that lead to far greater effectiveness."

Christian Coaching Workshop for Couples:

Christian coaching for couples...This specialized program is to help Christian couples intensively explore the role of money in their lives. This three day workshop gets you away from your daily routine and stress and allows you to focus on creating an intimate marriage that is fulfilling and glorifying to God.

 

If you would like weekly support over a 10 week period to allow for implementation of new ideas and concepts learned, the Fully Alive Coaching Program is just for you!

 

This workshop and Coaching Program attaches God’s vital healing and truth to your lives. After all, it’s really not (just) about the money, but about the heart God has given you. He longs for you to live His abundant life.

 

  • Want to feel confident about your relationship with money?
  • Are you and your spouse on “different pages” when it comes to discussing money topics?
  • Do you desire open and honest communication on this intimate topic of money?
  • Do you long to live from your heart, fully alive to reach your aspirations?

 

Common problems around money in relationships:

  • Too much month left at the end of your money
  • Quarrels over  money
  • Lack of effective financial planning
  • Differences in money styles

 

The Bible is a blueprint for living and offers a clear guide for handling our money. This workshop benefits couples who already have completed an in depth study about God's word and money. You have knowledge and awareness of God's truth regarding money but may have difficulty living out that truth in your marriage. This workshop coaches you to bring your mind and heart together by renewing your mind (Romans 12:2). We ask God to help you:

  • Become aware of your hidden money beliefs that are holding you back from living the abundant life He has for you.
  • Connect to your heart that is fully alive-given to you by God
  • Know God’s plan for your marriage and financial goals

 

What we think and feel about money effects how we handle our money. In turn, this affects our fellowship with the Lord. In Luke 16:11, we read, “If therefore you have not been faithful in the use of worldly wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?” Jesus equates how we handle money with the quality of our spiritual life.

 

“If a person gets his attitude towards money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area of his life. Tell me what you think about money, and I can tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related. A man’s heart is closer to his wallet than almost anything else.” --Bill Graham

 

Many people are uncomfortable talking about money. They have trouble dealing with money objectively and productively. For many, it tends to be more difficult to talk about money without getting irrational and upset, than to talk about sex or childhood trauma

 

Couples tend to polarize into oppositional attitudes and behaviors about money and attack each other for their differences. If one thought money was the key to love and happiness, the other considered it a source of corruption and suffering. If one wanted to put their money in joint accounts, the other wanted to keep in separate. If one wanted to save the other spends. This program can help understand your differences and find healthy ways to resolve them.

What couples are saying about the benefits the workshop:

  • “You become confident, competent and courageous in your financial decisions.”
  • “My heart is good and I can live abundantly!”
  • “We discovered the blessings of financial freedom.”
  • "We can live “rich’ on a budget.”
  • “We know God’s will for our future and are connected with resources for success.”
  • “We are closer to God and understand the role money in our lives.”

Outcomes of this program:

  • A truthful assessment regarding the role of money in your relationship. 
  • Healthy and open communication around financial and life goals.
  • A heart fully alive with a clear plan of action to move forward.

 

The workshop is held at a relaxing Bed and Breakfast or retreat center. There are only four Christian couples at each workshop to allow for a more personalized and intimate discovery period.

 

Small Group Coaching offers the opportunity to learn from others and creates safe,  rich conversations for lasting change. The Lord has created us to live a life dependent upon Him and others (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Prayer, presentations, small group and couples activities to include experiential, adventure type processes will all be included. Equine assisted learning, the climbing wall or low level challenge course experiences help you distinctly incorporate and internalize your learning. Experience a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Bonus #4 - Adventure Experiences:

This bonus is the one that I get most excited about and is very unique! When horses are incorporated into learning and the process of change, something amazing happens.  Horses don’t lie to us. They can offer us immediate feedback on our clarity, ability to focus and our intentions. You don’t have to have any experience with horses to grasp the benefits of such an experience. The activities are designed to help you:

  • Possess clear communication skills,
  • Identify your extraordinary goals and dreams and
  • Trust your heart to live fully alive

 

This experience is not about horsemanship or riding. All levels of horse experience are honored at the workshop.
