Biblical Coaching
Jesus-First Family Coaches
Every family has it's own unique rhythm. Beyond the 9-to-5 work schedules, there are the soccer, baseball, football, cheerleading, band marching, etc. opportunities during the week to keep life hectic. Life was similarly "busy" during Jesus' time. Humans have a tendency to make more things to do than we have time to do them. The challenge for Christians today is as it was in Jesus' time: Replace the chaos with calm, sustainable habits that draw us near God. We know change from the American lifestyle will be a challenge but the rewards far outweigh the obstacles. In Titus 1:5, Paul told Titus to "appoint elders in every town" because what was happening in the town where Titus lived was getting too big for him to manage. Our approach is to train people from your church to become "elders" over a few families. We call these couples, Family Coaches. Their role is to come along side of parents to pray with them and to gently coach them to lead their families in the ways of Jesus. Coaching sessions happen on a monthly basis.
We equip your senior Christians to empower parents as primary spiritual mentors, Family Coaches. For many years, Christian churches have lacked a "playbook" for making disciples. John Mark Comer, Pastor and Author of "Practicing the Way - Be with Jesus, Become like Him, Do as He did." Pastor Comer identified nine spiritual practices that Jesus regularly did, wrote this book, and created a video library of courses and resources for churches to equip their people with the ways of Jesus. We believe these provide a primary foundation for making disciples who spend time with Jesus through the practices and become like Him. Our approach is rooted in these nine practices plus one additional practice. This is what we teach Coaches.
