Christian Coaching School Podcast EPISODE 00 - Introduction

Christian Coaching School Podcast

Welcome to the Christian Coaching School Podcast. I have wanted to do this podcast for quite some time but it had to be the right time.

If you are in my inner circle, you may be aware I have been busy writing the 2nd edition of my book, the Comprehensive Christian Coaching Handbook, Essential Guide to Spirit-Led Coaching and Business Success. whew … long name …

The first edition was actually published back in 2009 and at that time it was a manifesto of sorts. Prior to my book, Christian coaching had been taught almost the same as secular coaching, but scripture was added for the Christian audience.

And … you and I both know what happens when you add random scripture to validate your secular point. It becomes far LESS about what God wants and MORE about what a person wants.

Because of this I had known for a very long time that I would eventually write a textbook as the foundation for an actual scripturally-based Christian Life Coach training program. The book we had used was no longer in print and the truth is, I could not begin then, to offer compromised training to our students.

When I published the book and thereby pulled back the curtain on what had come before, there were a few unhappy coach trainers out there because the truth had been revealed. But I believe we have to do what we feel is right in this world and that takes courage a lot of the time because the enemy is never happy when God’s truth is revealed. So despite that, God prevailed and His word was laid as the true foundation.

The Christian life coach training that we offer at the Professional Christian Coaching and Counseling Academy aka PCCCA, at http://pccca.org is based on my book, so you can be sure that the content of the training is pure.

As I say in my book, I wrote it because God inspired it, every step of the way. I am just telling you this because I think it’s important for you to know who you are listening to. And I promise to keep you updated when I get close to publishing the 2nd edition.

So … what else can I tell you about me and what we do here … ?

Since 2003 we have trained thousands and thousands of Christian life coaches worldwide at PCCCA and we have graduates on every continent. I have also trained many if not most, of the current Christian coach trainers. Most of them are even now on my email list. And if that’s you … I know you are out there LOL

And hey, it’s all good. I hope what we create here continues to bless you and those you teach. We all serve the same Lord after all. Right?

We also hosted the first annual Christian Coaching Week this year which was a great success with participants from all over the world. To join in the event next year, just visit the website at http://christiancoachingweek.com and ask us to send you updates for registration.
