What is Christian Coaching

"What we believe influences who we are and everything we do"'

Not all coaches are the same.

Christian coaches have a value-added input to make.

Introducing the concept of Christian coaching for business people and professionals…


1. Only a Christian coach can offer a Christian worldview.

Gary Collins, President of International Christian Counselling Alliance and accomplished author of over fifty books, explains it this way:

“Christian coaches use many of the same techniques that are used by their secular counterparts. But Christian coaching is unique in a number of ways. First and foremost is the biblical worldview that the Christian coach brings to the relationship… the awareness that God is:
• Sovereign
• Aware of His people, and
• Willing to guide and empower those who are His children.

Like everyone else, we seek to become aware of our passions, life purposes, inner strengths, and visions for the future. But Christians realize that these are God-given and that we find ultimate fulfillment only when we are living in accordance to God’s plans.”

"For the Christian coach, God - not human ingenuity - is at the core of their beings, and God is the guide for all coaching work.” - Gary Collins

2. Without a Christian worldview, self-help strategies are hollow and devoid of God’s genuine, life-changing power.

How many times have you tried to implement the latest ‘success-guaranteed’ strategy, only to be disappointed?

Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International
, confirms what many Christian believers have already suspected:

“The self-help explosion has left many feeling gorged with skills and strategies, but famished for genuine vision and character. The self-sufficient approach to personal development often leaves us with anything but an authentic sense of the self that God created us to be. Instead, our growth is stunted in the isolated desert valleys of introspection and self-absorption. This is not the way of the Kingdom of God.

We not only miss out on discovering and developing our own unique value and potential, but on helping those we minister to do the same… The servant-leadership process presented as Christian coaching is a model that fits Christians like a glove!” - Wess Stafford

In addition to all the things a coach does, a Christian coach adds value by helping you:

• Discuss spiritual issues
• Integrate faith and work
• Narrow the chasm between your work life and your spirituality
• Reconnect with God
• Bring your life back into alignment with biblical values
• Focus on what God wants for your life
