Even leaders need leading. In this greatly changing world, ministry experts Steve Ogne and Tim Roehl have coined the phrase "transformissional" to define the unique type of inspired coaching they offer to spiritual leaders in need of fresh direction.

This book is a basic coaching how-to with an emphasis on church planting, coaching post-moderns and working with leaders. While it covers some of the same ground as other how-to books (like Coaching Christian Leaders or Leadership Coaching), it adds some valuable information on coaching missional leaders and post-moderns that is not found anywhere else. A good addition to a coaches library.

Faith Coaching

For too long, Christians have taken a delivery approach to spiritual formation: we memorize key verses and snappy concepts to spring on our un-churched neighbors; we provide fill-in-the-blank study courses for believers who want to grow in faith; we strive to tell, teach and transfer what we know.

But there's a better approach. By using a conversational, coaching approach to spiritual formation, you can open wide the doors that help others expand their commitment to Christ. Easy to learn and to apply, the concepts in Faith Coaching help you to leverage the power of coaching conversations to help people find and follow a genuine spiritual path.
