Personalized For You – Directed By You
In a coaching relationship, you choose what you want to work on, you set your own goals and actions. In other words, you are always in charge. What our coach brings to the table is a set of professional skills and a process for helping you understand your identity in Christ, identifying your tailor-made purposes in life, designing action plans to realize those God-given purposes, and encouraging you every step of the way to carry out your action plans.
Discover God’s Purpose For Your Life
God calls us His “workmanship”, the result of His personal creation. You are unique, down to your fingerprints, DNA, personality, talents, skills, and spiritual gifts. He skillfully made you like a poet crafts a poem and a composer creates a symphony. In creating you, God planned for you to fulfill a specifically predetermined purpose.
Jesus understood this when he told Pilate, “In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.” John 18:37
Paul understood this too, when he told us in Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
You also, may sense within your spirit that God has prepared things in advance for you to do. However, you may be confused about God’s tailor-made, specific, life purpose. Without knowing God’s specific purpose for us, we hesitate in making decisions relating to our life’s purpose.
A CFT Life Coach leads you through a process by which you discover WHO God created you to BE in Christ. Then, with this solid foundation the life coach leads you to discover WHAT God has created you specifically to DO. Together with your coach, you can see what God desires you do with your life specifically, strategically, and significantly.
Life Coaching or Discipleship Counseling?
At CFT, we offer both discipleship counseling and life coaching. You might ask, how is coaching different than discipleship counseling? A discipleship counselor’s goal is to move people toward wholeness and healthy relationships with God, self, and others. Our Life Coach helps people who currently operate in wholeness and health, maximize their lives. While discipleship counseling often delves into the past to bring to light false beliefs to establish new healthy thinking, coaching focuses on the future. Our coaches will help you listen to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to direct your path. Often the biggest obstacle to our dreams isn’t knowing what to do: it’s having the confidence that God WILL speak and lead, and that you can hear and know His voice. Coaches have mastered the art of believing in people rather than telling them what to do.
