The Story behind coaching disciples
What will it take to make Jesus smile?
From the author -
You might say that the concept of coaching disciples originated in early 2023 while coaching a bright young church planter. After we had caught up with each other, I asked him what he wanted to work on during our conversation. He replied, "I'd like to find a way to provide a coach for every new believer and every new member in our church."
In many ways, however, this project began more than three decades ago. As a young pastor, I realized that despite offering all the courses and classes available at the time, the majority of my congregation was not growing in faith and increasing in love. At that time I began to search for a more effective method of discipleship. The answer eventually came with the awareness that all the people who were growing and serving Christ had one thing in common. They were "in" His Word, rather than just "under" His word. This verifies God's promise that if seek, we will find, and rewards those who do.
There are two questions to be explored,
1.) What will it take to hear Christ say, "Well done" - to make Him smile?
2.) What would happen if every new believer or anyone who wanted to live to please Christ had a coach - someone who would regularly connect and ask the right questions to hold them accountable, help them stay focused on Christ and His will, and encourage them to stay faithful?
Coaching Disciples takes discipleship from a classroom to a living room, from a curriculum to a CAFE, to help others discover God's will for their lives and become Champions for Christ.
Considering His commands to love one another and produce disciples, do you believe helping others become champions will make Jesus smile?
