Life Coaching asks questions like, “where is my life going?” or “how do I know God’s will for my life and relationships?” are in play here. Questions like, should they take the new job, move, marry, quit, buy, etc. Do they know and use their spiritual gifts? Are they intentionally living life or letting it live them? Are they consistent and have healthy rhythms and routines? Do they have goals and do they live my purpose and not default? Are they living by God’s plan and design or one of their own? Do they ask God what he wants for them or ask him to bless what they want for themselves? Of primary importance is probing into key relationships. Smokey Bear was right! Only you can prevent forest fires. It is much easier to prevent wildfires than it is to extinguish them and much less harm is done to those we love. Any question is in play that makes them think, probe their practices and intentions, and evaluate the degree of deliberate living they do as compared to just going along on the path of least resistance.

Pastor Kerry never sugarcoated things or told me it would be easy, but instead provided me with resources I could use to do the hard but necessary work for healing, recovery, and growing.
