Unlocking Deep Growth in Your Ministry through Christian Coaching - aifc
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Discover a Proven Process for Lasting Transformation – Nicholas Marks, CEO

As someone deeply invested in coaching and spiritual transformation, I want to share an insight that has emerged from research and experience. This can transform how we approach change and how we see ourselves and those we serve.

When deep, lasting change seems out of reach, we often respond in one of three ways:

We blame those we’re trying to help.

    • “They just don’t care enough to change.”
    • “If they really wanted to grow, they would.”

We blame ourselves.

      • “I’m not skilled enough to facilitate transformation.”
      • “Maybe I’m not praying enough or studying enough.”

We blame our approach.

        • “We need more biblical content…”
        • “We need better resources…”
        • “We need a different curriculum…”

But here’s the insight I’ve discovered: the barrier to transformation isn’t usually about what’s present in our approach – it’s about what’s missing.

This missing element isn’t just about more information or better techniques, though those can certainly help. It’s something far deeper, something fundamental to human nature. It’s woven throughout Scripture and affirmed by modern neuroscience, yet it’s often overlooked in our approaches to spiritual formation and coaching.
