Expressing and Expanding the Kingdom of God through Coaching
Like many before you, God has been bringing people to you for years – people seeking direction, in need of encouragement, or sometimes just asking for advice. You knew you were called to help, but you didn’t have a name for it.
Now you do: “Coaching“
Our Christian coach training programs give you the skills to expand your calling and natural gifts, equipping you to transform lives.
Great coaching requires three key elements:
Just because you think
you can coach doesn't
mean you actually have
what it takes.
You have to develop
the skills.
Having the skills isn't
enough on it's own.
You will have to learn to trust
the coaching process.
You have to know you
have what it takes.
The people you coach
need you to help them
move forward, and
they'll be relying on you.
They have to know you
have what it takes.
When you earn the Certified Christian Life Coach (CCLC) designation from Coach Approach Ministries, you can have full confidence that you have the skills to coach in a way that is truly valuable and consistent with the best practices in the coaching industry, the principles of Christianity, and your own calling to transform lives.

Most of my clients navigate difficult leadership waters. They face strong opposing opinions, often accompanied by strong emotions such as anger or shame. Within a culture and an economy of constant change, they cannot be confident of the right organizational direction. Stress builds, joy flees, self-worth lowers, and confidence wanes. They easily become bitter
Once in a while you get a client who is so together it seems they cannot really benefit from coaching. This is a client who is self-aware, organized, moving forward on important projects and goals, and has healthy relationships. Sounds great, right? But what do you coach on when everything is rainbows and sunshine?
Jonah is the story of a caterpillar who God wraps in a transforming cocoon. The caterpillar wriggles uncomfortably through the whole process and complains constantly. Then, the cocoon tears open and out wriggles an irritated caterpillar, who never had any desire at all to be a butterfly. Why didn’t Jonah transform? What does it
