How Coaching Works
A Personal Life Coach helps people set goals, achieve what they never thought possible, help them to understand and bring out inner strengths and live a more purposeful, contented life. As a Personal Life Coach working from a Judeo-Christian Biblical worldview, I will come alongside you to fulfill those goals with a scriptural perspective and prayer.
Each coaching appointment begins with your report on your progress for the previous week and will end with setting action steps for the following week. Below are some elements of a coaching relationship.
Coaching is:
- Action Oriented
Coaches don't give advice - Coaches ask powerful questions that will help you examine what matters
- Coaches will aid you in finding new ways to understand the events of your life and gain more clarity on what the Lord is asking of you.
A Relationship
A coach is a friend, confidant, supporter, and someone who will get to know you well enough to challenge you to do your best work. Being in a safe, transparent relationship with your coach frees you to seek out new ways of doing things.
Change Focused
You will be able to accomplish more than you ever imagined with prayerful support, encouragement and accountability from someone who believes in you. I will help you stay on track, overcome the stumbling blocks and go from "I want to, but..." to "Here are the steps I'm going to take!"
A Move Toward Maturity
As a coach, I do not give solutions. I help you learn how to solve problems, not tell you what to do. As you grow and learn, coaching prepares you to overcome even bigger challenges in the future.
Many Christians worry that if
they have DEPRESSION there is something
wrong with their FAITH.
Are you one of them?
These may be your questions (or the person in depression you are trying to encourage) too!
- Have you wondered if feeling discouraged means you are failing God?
- Does taking medication mean my faith is weak?
- Shouldn't Christians who have received the Holy Spirit be protected from depression?
- Do you feel the need to look "perfect" while your friends seem so high in their faith and you feel so depressed?
- Do Christians choose to be depressed or are they being tested by God?
- How do you reconcile unkind or dishonest behavior from those who claim the title of Christian?
- Why do Christians feel so uncomfortable acknowledging depression?
- Does Hebrews 10:26 bother you and seem like a condemnation for one in depression?
- How do I help a friend or relative who is both a Christian Believer and struggling with depression?
After collecting real questions that Christians have, I put my faith and years of counseling and coaching experience to work to respond to these heart cries in a written format. My goal was to provide sound basic information and then address these questions in a conversational style, as though I was sitting together with the questioner.
Now this resource is available for you: one who experiences depression; or a relative or friend of someone in depression. Coaches and therapists may also find it helpful to respond to these difficult issues of the seeming conflict between having faith and experiencing depression.
