With Christian Life Coaching CO Christians Cope Better With Modern Life

By Sharon Carter


Modern life is not easy and nobody needs to be told this. It is especially difficult for devoutly religious individuals and Christians, amongst others, are struggling to reconcile the demands of modern life with their belief systems. For them, there can be no compromise of their faith but they still want to succeed in this increasingly worldly environment. But with Christian life coaching CO citizens find that they can achieve some balance between the many demands made upon them.

Christians have more than one choice when they seek professional help. They may simply seek counselling from their pastor or priest, they may join Christian groups or they may even seek psychological therapy. An increasing number of them opt for the services of a coach, however. They like the idea that coaches are objective and not judgemental in any way and they then choose a coach that uses Christianity as an approach.

Coaches that profess to be Christians use the Bible as their approach to help their clients grow. They believe that the Bible contain all the answers to all the maladies that can possibly afflict mankind. In fact, they believe that the Bible should be the only source of advice and counselling for any believer. These coaches therefore focus on helping their clients discover answers to their problems in the Bible.

Modern coaches, even when they use the principles of Christianity as their approach nevertheless use modern methods to help their clients to progress. They are, after all, coaches and they have to achieve results. To this end they may teach their clients how to set goals, how to formulate action plans and how to measure their progress in achieving the goals that they have set for themselves.

Choosing a coach should be undertaken with circumspect. Christianity consists of many different orders, churches and groups that all differ in one or more ways about the way that the interpret the Bible, to road to salvation and the rituals that all Christians have to honour. The chosen coach should profess a belief system very similar to that of the client.

Clients should never expect spectacular and immediate results, even if their coaches are devout Christians. The role of the coach is not to provide answers but rather to lead his clients towards discovering answers for himself. This may take time and will depend entirely upon the client. It has to be the client that determines the pace of progress and this will obviously differ from one person to the next.

Coaches in general and especially those that base their services on the principles of Christianity have their critics. These critics say that coaches, especially those that use use Christianity as their approach are simply not qualified to help anybody. They lack the training and experience necessary to guide people spiritually.

Over time, coaching have become a very large industry on its own. Every client has different needs and those that are devoutly Christians cannot be blamed for wanting a coach that will adhere to their own personal beliefs. This is, after all, a personal decision.
