Discipling on the go
I am coaching a man named Phillip who is serving among the poor in Mexico City. He’s been struggling with finding time to invest in discipling relationships, partly because most of the people there are already working long hours just to support their families....
When the golden rule does not apply
I was coaching someone recently about getting along with a coworker and she said, “What I would like if I were in their shoes would be direct communication-- just bottom-lining it.” But in fact, that is not what the other person would prefer. His style and...
