How a Coaching process works


Feeling alone during a life changing transition is not uncommon and can be overwhelming. 
So making these transitions as smooth and infrequent as possible will not only save you 
ministry it may save your marriage and family. This article is an interesting review from the web: purposefilledlife (dot) com

"61% of pastors today say they have no one to talk with about their personal lives and ministry. I can honestly say that in the first 10 years of ministry confidants were very difficult to find. It only takes one person to break your confidence and you'll think twice about "sharing your life". If that's concerning to you, take a look at the shocking statistics of pastors throughout North America in our article "Leadership Under Fire" (PDF). Out of the 365,000 pastors in the US, 55,000 are in transition every year. That's 150-200 pastors a day dealing with change in a very real way! Why is this happening? Should we be alarmed? Isn't that just the way ministry is? Isn't that what you signed up for? What's the big deal? We'll if your a pastor...it's definitely a big deal. Try moving your family around a few times in 12 years. I know from personal experience the joy, stress, anxiety and excitement of moving away from one ministry and moving into another. From one city to another, one state to another and even one denomination to another. Transitions are very vulnerable times for pastors, their spouses and their families. Feeling alone during a life changing transition is not uncommon and can be overwhelming. So making these transitions as smooth and infrequent as possible will not only save your ministry it may save your marriage and family."
