Questions of Jesus - when there could have just been a tell...
Let's continue our study on how Jesus regularly used questions. (He also really liked stories - are you seeing that?)
Here are some of the questions Jesus used when He could have just made statements.
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath day: to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?” Luke 6:9
They had no money to pay what they owed, but the banker told both of them they did not have to pay him. Which person will love the banker more?” Luke 7:42

But Seriously, Have You Ever Considered Coach Training...
Coach training isn't just for aspiring coaches, (but we have launched plenty into private practice.)

- aging parents who need respect, but also need to weigh transitional decisions?
- adult children you care about but don't want to interfere?
The Coaching Culture comes alongside your relational connections and gives you tools to be more effectual in helping people discern what God has for them.
What would it be worth to you to be able to help people help themselves?
What if there were overarching principles that could help people engage with owning their own situations and next steps?
Learning the skills of active listening and how to ask empowering questions can take your everyday conversations to a next level. Coaching culture helps you help others help themselves get unstuck...
