It has been a long time since I wrote but even though I wasn’t writing here I was still writing words, just at another place. I have spend the last 3 months taking online classes at Light University to be a Christian Life Coach. What a great experience. I was very nervous when I started because I had not applied my brain to school work in over 20 years. It was challenging and encouraging with so much information. I am taking 2 months off over the summer and then want to take a few more electives this fall.
So what is a Christian Life Coach? My definition is a Christian Life Coach helps someone get a better understanding of who they are and the call that God has for their life. This is someone who is looking for accountability and support. Someone who has passions, dreams and goals for the future but is in need of tools and guidance to achieve them or is just STUCK. A life coach provides these tools and resources and holds them accountable. A Christian life coach can apply biblical principles and listen for the voice of God for direction and clarity.
The last class I took was called Hope Coaching. The emphasis was how to walk along side someone who is dealing with tough circumstances in life. It was very encouraging to me as I was able to apply it to my own life and some of the difficult things I have walked through in the past and currently experiencing.
To get my certification I need one year of experience with coaching activities. I am just in the starting stages and getting together my resources and tools. My goal is to start working with some clients in the next few months.
