Life and Leadership Coaching
Are you living out the full and abundant life that God has for you?
Truth is, we can all benefit from having a coach! A coach helps you identify where you are now and your vision for where God is leading. Together we can examine your current reality, explore obstacles holding you back, and encourage action through practical next steps to help your reach your goals
We will pair a seasoned coach with a pastor, pastor’s spouse, ministry leader, ministry staff member, or “everyday disciplemaker” to help him or her develop a practical life plan, ministry vision and plan, and a framework for making good decisions to sustain a healthy personal and ministry life.
THE PROCESS
Life and Leadership Coaching is a holistic discipleship process using the CORE 4, integrated approach of non-directive coaching that results in more effective leadership and disciplemaking.
1. Life Plan
3. Ministry Plan
2. Ministry Vision
4. Priority Management
Through each phase, your coach walks alongside you, sharing Scriptural insights and clearing space for God to reveal His vision to you. Then your coach helps you discern tangible action steps to help you reach your goals.
Your coach is not the expert on your life—that’s you! We simply come alongside you to listen intently, question deeply, and give feedback cautiously. Above all your coach believes in you and prays for you.

AN INVITATION
Coaching is not counseling, mentoring, discipling, or an accountability relationship. We believe that you—as a believer with the Holy Spirit guiding you—know what’s best for your life. A good coach helps you unlock the discernment and confidence necessary to grow into who you are destined to become.

Coaching Testimonials
"Every conversation with my Navigator coach helped me navigate to clarity in where God was leading. It has been a huge blessing to me. I always have lots of ideas and big desire to lead others towards God. And yet, having a coach has enabled me to see how, when, where, and why. Being coached has helped me to figure out those questions as I lead my congregation. The coaching process has been a huge blessing!"

"My coach has been instrumental in empowering me to take a long hard look at my life and to see where my priorities were out of line, but thankfully she didn’t stop there. With her guidance, I have learned how to rethink and reorganize my life so I am able to accomplish more for the Kingdom of God without sacrificing my health, relationships, or my integrity. It is crystal clear to me as I look back on the 12+ months of work that there has been a drastic shift in the way I think and even physically feel. I am so thankful for the giftings that the Lord has given her-I have benefitted greatly from them."
"Have you ever seen a disorganized beehive? Yeah, me neither. Before coaching that’s how i would describe my life. I was busy, always moving, always doing but lacked structure to say the least. Some days I didn’t even brush my teeth. On my first day coaching, my coach helped me realize clarity. Clarity in my thinking, my purpose and God-given destiny. I have been blessed to stay home with my 3 small children but I found myself constantly overwhelmed and always feeling like a failure when I didn’t complete tasks. My coach taught priority management, reframing my thoughts, skills for setting healthy boundaries and much more. Each phone call we prayed, she encouraged me in scripture and she walked me thru HOW to work out each problem. Over and over and over again. Her grace has been healing. Week by week I notice my thoughts change about myself and my ability by using the reframing tools. I would hear my coach's voice asking “Edee, how would God want you to think about?”. I’ve begun to set boundaries with family and loved ones, and I’ve created a system to help keep track of my daily tasks. So now I have the power to work on my career, become the mother and wife God desires, and walk in my God given destiny and even brush my teeth everyday. My coach has walked me thru some TOUGH time, the coaching has been PRICELESS."

"Coaching has been a wonderful blessing to me in many ways, but the most important thing I have learned is to search for scripture that applies to any situation I find myself in. Starting and ending each day in scripture provides me with spiritual nourishment and has made me stronger in my walk with Christ; and abiding in God's Word gives me the help I need to manage the pressures of the day. I cherish the focus on scripture that Navigators emphasizes and will always be thankful that I was given this opportunity to grow in my faith."
"I have never had a coach before, and I am now so blessed to have this Navigator coach in my life. We have only worked together for a short time, but with her gentle guidance, my devotional life has been transformed and my calendar is being tamed. Perhaps most important, she is my safe place, and for pastors, safe places can be hard to find."
