Christian Life Coach Training

Train to become a Christian life coach and learn powerful coaching skills to help yourself and the people around you overcome what’s holding you back and move forward.

Maybe you already know you want to become a Christian life coach. Or perhaps you’re drawn to coaching because you want to become better equipped to help people and make changes in your own life.

Both are good reasons to be here.

Learn how to help people create real change

Most of us are pretty good at giving advice, offering encouragement or suggesting what someone could do differently.

Coaching takes a different approach.

You’ll learn how to listen more deeply, ask questions that get beneath the surface and help people recognise the thoughts, beliefs and patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

You’ll learn how to help someone move from “I don’t know what to do” to greater clarity about what they want, what needs to change and the next steps they can take.

And because this is Christian coach training, you’ll also learn how to make space for God in the coaching process — without feeling that you have to provide all the answers or tell someone what God is saying to them.

Christian Life Coach Training — Live

For the first time in a while, I’m teaching the Christian Life Coach Training live again.

We’ll explore coaching skills together. You’ll see them demonstrated, have opportunities to practise what you’re learning, and ask questions along the way.

You can learn a lot about coaching by reading or watching a video.

But you learn to coach by coaching.

My aim is for you not to finish the training simply knowing more about coaching. You’ll know what to do when someone sits down with you and says:

“I feel completely stuck. I don’t know what to do.”

You’ll have a way to begin.

What will you learn?

We’ll work through the coaching process step by step, helping you develop the skills to have meaningful coaching conversations and confidently help people move forward.

Listen beyond the words

Learn to listen for more than the facts of someone’s story, and start noticing the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and assumptions underneath.

Ask powerful questions

Learn how to ask questions that encourage people to think more deeply, see things differently and discover insights for themselves.

Recognise what’s keeping someone stuck

Explore limiting beliefs, unhelpful thinking patterns, fears and assumptions that can quietly influence choices and prevent change.

Help people gain clarity

Learn how to help someone untangle their thoughts, identify what really matters and become clearer about what they want.

Open up new possibilities

Help people move beyond the options they’ve already considered and begin seeing different perspectives, choices and possibilities.

Turn insight into action

A breakthrough moment is valuable, but change usually happens through what comes next.

You’ll learn how to help people turn new awareness into practical, realistic steps forward.

Help people turn goals into action

Learn how to help someone identify meaningful goals, make better choices and stay accountable without pressure or judgement.

Understand boundaries and responsibility

Know where your responsibility as a coach begins and ends, and learn how to support people without taking responsibility for their decisions.

Bring faith naturally into coaching

Explore how prayer, Scripture, discernment and awareness of the Holy Spirit can have a natural place in Christian coaching without forcing a spiritual answer onto someone’s situation.

You’ll learn by doing

I don’t want you simply taking pages of notes about coaching.

I want you to experience it.

During the live training, you’ll see coaching skills demonstrated, and we’ll explore together how and why they work.

Then, between the training sessions, you’ll have opportunities to put what you’re learning into practice by coaching volunteers.

You won’t be expected to coach in front of the group.

Your practice sessions are a chance to try things out on your own time, build your confidence, and discover what coaching actually feels like when you’re the one asking the questions.

And if your practice raises questions or you feel unsure about something, you’ll have opportunities during our Q&A time to ask and get the support you need.

“An inspirational foundation and launchpad”

“I knew that coaching was about getting from where you are to where you want to be. What I didn't know was that this course would take me from a place of very little knowledge about coaching to a whole new world of breakthroughs for myself and others!

I loved this course, and I love coaching! I especially love the way that, as a result, God is beginning to use me to partner with Him to see lives transformed. It is so powerful!

While I will always be growing as a coach, this course has been an inspirational foundation and launchpad to give me a flying start. I cannot believe how much we covered in 10 weeks, but I felt supported every step of the way. The training has left me feeling passionate about developing into the best coach that I can be, and I am very grateful! A T, Hampshire

And something else often happens...

While you’re learning how to help someone else recognise what’s keeping them stuck, you start noticing your own stuff too.

You hear yourself asking a coaching question and realise:

“Actually, I need to answer that.”

You explore limiting beliefs and recognise one you’ve been carrying for years.

You learn about boundaries and suddenly see where yours have become blurred.

You talk about choices and notice an area where you’ve been telling yourself you don’t have one.

You explore goals and realise there’s something you’ve wanted to do for a long time but keep putting off.

That’s one reason coach training can become such a personal journey.

You’re learning how to help people change, but you’re growing along the way too.

“I learned so much, not only professionally but personally”

“The course was very detailed and thorough. Lynne delivered the course brilliantly, and she always made time to ensure she met all our needs as students.

I felt fully supported and very happy with the course content.

I learned so much, not only professionally but also personally. I have grown emotionally as a result of the training, and that has had a positive effect across my whole life.” A K, London

What makes Christian coaching different?

For me, Christian coaching isn’t simply ordinary coaching with a Bible verse added here and there.

Faith shapes the way we approach the whole conversation.

We recognise that we’re not someone’s rescuer. We don’t have to fix them, have every answer, or tell them what God is saying.

Instead, we listen. We ask. We encourage reflection. We help people notice what may be going on beneath the surface.

And we create space for God to be part of that process.

There can be enormous freedom in realising:

I don’t have to have the answer for this person.

The Holy Spirit is already at work in their life.

Your role is to become skilled at walking alongside them.

Could you become a Christian life coach?

Maybe that’s why you first started looking into coach training.

You love helping people. You’re fascinated by what makes people tick. You get enormous satisfaction from seeing someone have a breakthrough or finally do something they didn’t think they could do.

And perhaps somewhere along the way you’ve found yourself wondering:

“Could I actually do this?”

Yes, you can learn how to coach.

The training is designed to take you from understanding the principles of coaching to actually being able to sit down with someone and coach them.

You’ll develop a structure for coaching conversations, practise the core skills and gradually build your confidence.

You’ll begin to develop your own coaching style. You’ll learn when to ask another question and when to stay quiet. And you’ll become more comfortable not knowing exactly where a conversation will go.

For some people, coaching becomes a new career.

You may want to build your own coaching practice, work from home, coach online or specialise in an area you’re passionate about.

For others, coaching fits alongside something they already do in ministry, leadership, counselling, teaching, pastoral work, business or another people-focused role.

And even outside formal coaching sessions, you may find yourself using these skills in conversations with colleagues, people at church, friends and family.

You don’t need to know exactly where coaching will take you before you begin. That can become clearer as you learn.

Who is the training for?

The training may be right for you if you:

• want to train as a Christian life coach
• are already coaching informally and want proper training
• love helping people grow and move forward
• are involved in church, ministry or Christian leadership
• are a counsellor, mentor, teacher, leader or people professional who wants additional skills
• are often the person people turn to when they need support
• want practical tools to help people make meaningful changes
• want to develop coaching skills that will also help you grow personally

Christian Life Coach Certification

If your goal is to become a qualified coach, you’ll be able to work towards certification as part of the training.

Certification isn’t based simply on watching the training and completing the lessons. I want to know that you understand the coaching process and can actually put what you’ve learned into practice.

To complete your certification, you’ll be asked to:

• complete an open-book course summary assessment
• submit two coaching conversations for assessment

You’ll receive guidance so you know what’s expected and have time to practise before submitting your coaching sessions.

On successful completion, you can choose to be certified as a:

Certified Life Breakthrough Coach™ or Certified Biblical Life Coach™

depending on which best reflects how you intend to use your training.

You’ll also receive lifetime membership of the Biblical Coaching Alliance™ Coaches Network and a listing in the Life Breakthrough Academy Biblical Coaching Alliance Directory.

Want to build a coaching practice?

Learning how to coach is one part of becoming a professional coach.

Then comes the question:

“How do I actually get started?”

You’ll also have access to practical business and marketing training to help you take those first steps.

We’ll look at things such as:

• getting started as a Christian life coach
• finding your first coaching clients
• getting your first paying clients and testimonials
• communicating clearly about who you help and what you offer
• marketing your coaching online and offline
• avoiding some of the common marketing mistakes new coaches make
• creating coaching packages and pricing your services
• developing additional streams of income
• building your presence and credibility in your chosen area of coaching

The aim isn’t to turn you into a pushy salesperson.

It’s to help you become confident talking about what you do and make it easier for the people who need your help to find you.

"I feel equipped to begin a Christian Coaching practice."

The materials are thorough, and the program is well-paced. I did the convenient individual sessions which worked best for my schedule.

For the money, I got quality time with Lynne each week, inspiring audio and web training, and support resources -- such as client questionnaires and sample contracts for my practice.

The icing on the cake was the marketing resources, and the professional contacts that Lynne recommended as continued education.

Lynne is a great mentor, as she herself is a successful coach and business person, and honorable woman of God.

I highly recommend Lynne Lee and Breakthrough Academy to any Christian interested in becoming a life coach." Debbie USA

And the support doesn’t disappear when the training finishes

Becoming confident as a coach takes time.

There will almost certainly be moments when you’re coaching someone and afterwards think:

“I wonder if I handled that well?”

Or:

“What could I have asked there?”

That’s why you’ll continue to have access to occasional live Q&A sessions and our private Facebook coaching community after you’ve completed the training.

You’ll have somewhere to bring questions, continue learning and connect with other people who are developing and using their coaching skills too.

You won’t simply finish the training and be left to figure everything out on your own.

A little about me

I’m Lynne, and I’ve been training Christian life coaches for many years.

Over that time, I’ve seen people do the training for all sorts of reasons.

Some knew from the beginning that they wanted to become coaches and went on to build their own coaching practices.

Others brought coaching into work or ministry they were already doing.

And some did the training because they wanted to grow personally or become better equipped to help the people around them.

One of the things I still love most is seeing the change that happens as people begin to practise what they're learning.

At the beginning, there can be that slightly panicky feeling of:

“What on earth do I ask next?”

Then gradually something shifts.

They listen differently. They stop feeling responsible for having the answer. They become more confident asking questions and trusting the other person to think.

And somewhere along the way they realise:

“I can actually do this.”

That’s the point I want to help you reach too.
