3 Things Every Great Christian Coach Does

Christian life coaches bring a spiritual, faith-based dimension to life coaching. They support clients through life challenges and help them rise to new heights of personal development. While Christian coaches can offer many of the same services as traditional life coaches, there are certain things all great Christian coaches do; here are three of them:

1. They Center Themselves in Christ

Christian coaches recognize Jesus Christ is the focal point of their lives, and it informs their coaching approaches. They lead and advise from a place that is grounded in the Word and their own Christian faith, and they honor God in all of their actions and decisions. When they come to an impasse, they don't hesitate to give their concerns over to God in prayer, and they encourage clients to do the same.

2. They are Authentic, Genuine and Honest

Christian coaches are adept at letting clients know that it is safe to be "real" and authentic, for they live this way themselves. The coach and client relationship is built upon mutual trust, respect and acceptance, just as Jesus built trust with His disciples. The best Christian coaches strive to speak the truth rooted in unconditional love, just as Jesus did. They are honest, genuine and forthright in their communications, but always loving and compassionate in the delivery.

3. They See Their Clients as They Could Be -- At Their Best

The best Christian coaches are visionaries; they are able to see their clients as they could be, not necessarily as they are. Generally, coaches see their clients at the low points of life, perhaps challenged by personal or professional issues, or in a crisis of faith. The most effective Christian coaches are able to hold a vision of their clients "on the other side" of the issue -- happy, thriving and enjoying a Godly life.
