From the International Coaching Federation:

Coaching works because it brings three things together:

1) Clarity on what matters most.
2) Action toward meaningful goals.
3) Accountability to follow through.

When all three click, real progress happens.

From the International Coaching Federation

Coaching can feel uncomfortable sometimes.

Not because something's wrong, but because something's working.

When a powerful question lands, it might sting a little. That's often where growth begins.

"You are the light of the world." Jesus, Matthew 5:14
Not you will be the light some day.
YOU ARE the light. Right now. Today.
Let your light shine today. Be the light someone else needs.

For us to really become generous people, we must be intentional and plan for it.
How are we helping ourselves and others to become more generous?

Evangelism should never be seen or felt as aggressive.
The focus should be on being prepared to share our story . . . with gentleness and respect.

"His purpose was to equip God's people for the work of serving and building up the body of Christ until we all reach the unity of faith and knowledge of God's Son. God's goal for us to become mature adults - to be fully grown, measured by the standard of the fullness of Christ."
