Why A Christian Life Coach Is A
Better Choice For Christians
A Christian life coach, coaches
in partnership with Jesus who
is the master life coach
Christian life coaches use many of the same techniques as secular life coaches. But Christian coaching has its own
unique flavour. There are concepts
within secular coaching that are incompatible with Godly principles.
The most important difference is that a Christian life coach brings a Biblical worldview
Secular coaches invite you to look within and listen for what your heart is telling you. They encourage you to focus on your inner strengths and what you feel is right.
There are no absolutes, few rules and God doesn't come into the process.
God tells us that
”There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” Proverbs 14:12, 16:25
Scripture repeatedly reminds you that you can do nothing without God and that He is the source of everything.
Life coaching from a Christ centered approach begins with the fact that God empowers and enables you to be all that He destined you to be.
A Christian life coach approaches coaching from the foundation that
- you are created in God's image
- God is sovereign
- He knows everything about you
- He guides, equips and empowers those that belong to Him
- you only find fulfillment when you're living in line with God's plans
A Christian life coach knows that God is at the core of your being rather than human ingenuity.
For a Christian coach, God is the guide for all the coaching work.
"If you're a Christian, seeking to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, you'll approach every aspect of your life from this perspective. Your commitment to Christ will impact your marriage, parenting, lifestyle, values, spending, time management, vocation ... " Gary Collins
What you believe influences who you are and affects everything you do. However neutral a coach tries to be their values and world view will influence what they say and how they coach you. Christian values permeate the life of the Christian Life coach, that’s why a Christian life coach is a better choice for people who follow Jesus.
A Christian Coach understands that God created and equipped you for a specific purpose, unique to you and that He guides and empowers you to fulfil your destiny.
Compelling Reasons To Work With A Christian Life Coach
Christian Life Coaching
- is based on God’s word
- helps you to define success for you as God sees it rather than how the world sees it.
- helps you to operate from a foundation of faith in God
- enables you to grow and achieve without compromising your dependence on God and Christian values
- is sensitive to the leading and prompting of the Holy Spirit
”The Lord directs your steps.”
A Christian life coach approaches life coaching from a Godly perspective. The coaching process is covered in prayer and directed by the Holy Spirit. A Christian coach partners with you, offering prayer support, encouragement and challenges to enable you to become all that God wants you to be, do and become.
”When you work with a Christian life coach you invite God into the process. Doing all the work by yourself, without support, can be hard. A Christian life coach partners with the Holy Spirit and helps you to see your blind spots in a safe environment.”
Seeing Yourself As God Sees You Is The Key To Lasting Change
A Christian life coach helps you to discover the negative limiting beliefs that hold you back. A Christian coach helps you to see yourself as God sees you, sheds light on limiting beliefs that are getting in the way and helps you to move on.
You think feel and act according to what you believe. Christian life coaching helps you to replace lies you believe about yourself and your circumstances with life-giving Biblical truth. When you change what you believe, your whole life changes.
"Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."
How you feel affects what you think and what you think affects what you say and how you feel.
Scripture encourages you to be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
When you start telling yourself the truth, you find it easier to agree with God and get free of things that have been holding you back. The truth helps to set you free by changing the way you think about things.
- When you change what you believe, your thoughts change.
- When you change the way you think your feelings change.
- When you feel differently about things it affects the way you behave.
- When your behaviour changes, your whole life begins to change.
When you renew your mind with God's word you'll find that you walk in new found confidence and have the courage to follow your God given dreams.
