What are the similarities and differences between “Coaching” and “Mentoring”? Both can feel like friendships and both are intentional relationships. Coaching is more of a dance, of asking questions and getting the Coachee to see what God’s is leading them to do. Coaching is sitting, listening, and drawing out. It’s helping people navigate their course. The Coach is there to help a Coachee uncover what going on in their life.

What does a Gospel Coach do when a Coachee is questioning his Call? What does the death and resurrection of Jesus have to do with someone’s Calling? How do you coach someone through a Calling exercise?

A Gospel Coach understands that a key way that adults learn is through experience and evaluating what’s happening in their lives and ministry. Remember to diagnose through asking questions.

As Gospel Coaches, we need to dig deeper and ask the questions that no one else would dare to ask.

How do you help your Coachee get through disapproval and conflict in their ministry? Remind them that their highest sense of comfort comes from the in-dwelling person of the Spirit and the position we know we have with a Father who says, “I approve of you.”
