You know that to help people live and love like Jesus, coaching is critical. So how do you train up good coaches? Sure, you could send them to a training event and have them do some reading. But you also need to help coaches-in-training get some hands-on experience: living missionally themselves, practicing coaching, getting coach mentoring. In this way they can gain competence both in basic coaching skills and in missional-specific competencies.
Ed Newell, who received coach training under my leadership several years ago, shares about his experience: “That time was one of the most definitive periods of equipping that I have ever gone through. The tools and coaching experience have not been wasted. There is not a day that goes by where I do not apply some aspect of coaching in my ministry and personal life. In my role as a shepherd of shepherds, I find that asking great questions and letting people come to their own solutions by far bears more lasting change and fruitfulness than by being directive and heavy-handed. Thanks so much for investing in us so that we might invest in others.” — Ed Newell, Navigators Shepherding Network Team
