513 - Coaching Church Planters
Church planters are a different breed. They need a coach who understands the issues they face.
We'll teach you how to coach the person rather than the problem and give you some models that will help the planter process their most important issues!
Every topic a church planter brings to you is a matter of
for the survival of the new church.
A trained coach knows exactly how to help without becoming a church planting guru.

Avert Catastrophe!
Most church plants either have a know-it-all coach or no coach at all. The planters in these situations feel isolated and alone. They don't want to give any sense of fear or failure so they try to figure out everything on their own. The stress spills over into their marriage and soon enough the plant isn't the only thing in fear of failing.
But with a trained coach, the planter will feel the security of a confidential relationship. The planter will begin to stretch their thinking and learn how to see the issue from multiple perspectives. Stress will recede from the planter and be replaced with confidence and joy.
FAQ
How does the online class work?
As mentioned above, each class meets once a week for eight weeks during ninety minute sessions. These meetings are conducted through online classroom-styled software (via Zoom). These will allow you to see other class participants, the instructor, and the instructor's screen throughout your sessions.
The classes are very interactive throughout, and regular homework will be assigned between sessions for your benefit.
