Coaching

Others

Too often we forget that the role of leader is not to do all the work alone: it's to prepare others for the work God has for them. Ephesians 4 explains that the role of church leaders is to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the role of church leaders is to prepare for works of service, so that the body of Christ can grow and build itself up in love as each part does its work. The role of a Christian leader is to equip. And that role is not restricted to pastors and church leaders; we can all help one another prepare for kingdom work. Hebrews 10:24-25 urges believers to consider how we may spur one another on to love and good deeds. Part of our Christian responsibility is to help one another release our full potential---and much of that can be done on a peer level. Coaches are not experts or know-it-alls---they are ordinary Christians who have the opportunity and privilege of coming alongside others and helping them succeed in fulfilling their God given potential.
