The Center for Biblical Coaching & Leadership

The ROOTED Coach Model is a biblically-centered approach to coaching that partners with the Holy Spirit and the whole person—spirit, soul, and purpose. Built on the six transformational phases of the ROOTED Framework, this model equips coaches and leaders to guide others through the journey of becoming who God created them to be.

This is not just about performance—it’s about presence. It’s not about fixing—it’s about forming. And it’s not about striving—it’s about surrender.

As a ROOTED leader or coach, you are more than a facilitator. You are a spiritual partner, a wise guide, and a sacred witness to God’s work in another person's life.

                                  “We do not coach for performance—we coach for transformation.”

• Biblically-Centered: Every conversation is grounded in Scripture and guided by Christ-centered wisdom.
• Spirit-Led: Coaches are trained to discern and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, not just a script or coaching template.
• Transformational, Not Transactional: ROOTED Coaches and leaders don’t just help people achieve goals—they partner with them in their journey of inner renewal.
• Whole-Person Focused: We address the spiritual, emotional, mental, and behavioral dimensions of Christ-centered transformation.

ROOTED Coaches are equipped with tools, language, and presence that create sacred space for God’s activity.

ROOTED Coaches embody five spiritual postures that define our model:

1. Consent – We honor the client’s spiritual agency and consent to God’s presence and timing.
2. Compassion – We approach every session with the kindness and unconditional love of Christ.
3. Curiosity – We ask, listen, and invite—trusting the Holy Spirit to reveal what needs to emerge.
4. Conviction – We hold a bold, biblical belief in the possibility of transformation and the truth of who the client is in Christ.
5. Co-Creation – We partner with the client and the Holy Spirit to create new possibilities that reflect God’s heart and purpose.

             “Transformation happens when we create space for God’s voice to be heard and His truth to take root.”

At TCBCL, we train coaches and leaders to become Contemplatives in Action—Spirit-sensitive, biblically centered, and mentally fit. Coaches are trained to integrate:

• The ROOTED Framework
• Positive Intelligence (Mental Fitness)
• Contemplative Practices (Centering Prayer, Examen, Lectio Divina)
• Biblical Coaching Skills (Active listening, powerful questioning, discernment, and spiritual presence)

Coaches are certified through a comprehensive process that includes classroom instruction, mentoring, practice sessions, and spiritual formation.
