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.

Another five star review on Amazon! This one is very special.

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?

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith so that you overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13, CEB

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'" Isaiah 52:7, NIV

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13

"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."
Psalms 119:105, NIV

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

This is the perfect time of the year for pastors and ministry leaders to invest in discerning where God is calling your church this season.

"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."

Our role as leaders, is to create more leaders.

Just heard from an annual conference asking me to come and speak at their laity session. It is always an honor to get these invitations.

It’s always good to have several people view you sign. 🤣

All of this is good, especially the last part. Ministry is all about the long run.
