If you’re a church leader at any level, join us January 6-7 (Friday afternoon and Saturday all day) for the Gospel Coach workshop led by Scott Thomas, president of the Acts 29 church planting network. The workshop is designed to give Christian leaders a practical system to develop and equip other leaders in the local church and to shepherd them to glorify God. While it is for leaders, it can be used to shepherd believers of all stages of their life, maturity, age, and gender.
The cost is only $15 per person when you register here.
In this post, Scott offers 30 reasons why every leader needs a coach. Here are ten of them:
- Coaching helps to remind a leader of the Gospel
- Coaching exposes a leader’s blind spots
- Coaching models biblical community
- Coaching improves a leader’s perspective and objectivity
- Coaching sharpens a leader’s calling
- Coaching helps a leader identify and fight arrogance
- Shepherds need to be shepherded
- Coaching sharpens a leader’s skills and abilities
- Coaching provides a safe sounding board
- Coaching protects family and marital health
