WHAT IS COACHING?

The International Coaching Federation: 

Defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity, and leadership.

The Christian Coaches Network International:

States that “Great Christian coaching might be described as one of the world’s most constructive, deliberate, confronting, effective, and ongoing conversations that a man or woman of God might have. As Christian coaches, we serve God’s people in their movement from dependence on the world to independence around the promises of God.”

The Center for Biblical Coaching & Leadership:  

Biblical-centered coaching is dedicated to facilitating significant, spiritual-directed changes, aiming to align individuals more closely with God's intentions for their lives. It is a journey where each step toward God is celebrated as progress, and movement away is addressed with grace, compassion, and guidance. TCBCL’s coaching seeks not only to support change in behaviors but to foster transformation that makes individuals more Christ-like, a process that inherently glorifies God.

Integrating Personal and Professional Excellence with Spiritual Depth:

At TCBCL, we define coaching as a transformative partnership that goes beyond the conventional. Biblical coaching is the use of Scripture to help believers grow by grace through solving problems God’s way. Drawing from the International Coaches Federation, we recognize coaching as a thought-provoking and creative journey, inspiring clients to unlock their fullest personal and professional potential in light of God’s plans and purpose. This journey often reveals new sources of imagination, productivity, and leadership, laying bare the untapped greatness within each individual.

A Christian Perspective on Coaching:

Echoing the Christian Coaches Network International, we see great Christian coaching as one of the most constructive and impactful conversations a believer can engage in. Our approach moves individuals from worldly dependence to a life anchored in the promises of God. It's a deliberate, confronting, yet incredibly effective dialogue that empowers God’s people to navigate life’s complexities with faith and confidence.

Biblical-Centered Coaching at TCBCL:

We focus on profound, heart-level change. We understand that true transformation for believers surpasses mere adjustments in behavior or will. It requires the Holy Spirit's transformative work on the heart, where real and lasting change begins. This journey of change isn't just about temporal growth but an eternal progression toward becoming more Christ-like. Our coaching is grounded in the ministry of the Word of God, facilitated by the Holy Spirit, aiming to draw individuals closer to the likeness of Christ. This isn't merely about personal development; it's about glorifying God through all areas of our lives. Our coaches strive for growth in every conversation, supporting individuals as they walk in their journey toward Christlikeness. This is the essence of biblical-centered coaching — a significant, life-altering change that enhances all areas of life and deepens the spiritual walk of those we serve.
