Paul:
the Biblical “Mandate” for Coaching
(Ephesians 4:11-13)
“It was He who gave some to be apostles, some
to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and
some to be pastors and teachers, to
prepare/equip God's people for works of
service, so that the body of Christ may be built
up…”
The Biblical Basis For Coaching
Barnabas: a Biblical “Model” For Coaching
“When
he arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was
glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all
their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith,
and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.” (Acts
11:23,24)
Holy Spirit: our “Mentor”
What does the Holy Spirit do for us as coaches?
He modeled--they watched as He demonstrated. (Luke 8:1ff) “The twelve were with
Him…”
He mentored—they did it together. He showed the disciples the how and the
why of each step of the process. (Luke 8:4-15; 9:9-17; 9:37-43)
He monitored —they did it, He watched. The disciples performed the task, and
He assisted and corrected. (Luke 9:1-11, 27-43) “The apostles returned…they
reported…”
He motivated. He allowed the disciples to take responsibility for the ministry,
continuing to coach and encourage him to improve. He celebrated successes
with them. (Luke 10:1-23) “The harvest is abundant…go…I am sending you…”
He multiplied. Now He encouraged them to minister and to train others…purified
and empowered by the Holy Spirit! (Luke 10:1; Luke 24:49; Matthew 28:18-20, the
entire book of Acts!)
