What if getting what you want costs you something you never intended to lose? As coaches, we spend a lot of time helping people move toward meaningful goals: growing a business, expanding their impact, stepping into greater influence, or finally gaining the freedom they've been working toward. But success brings its own challenges to the soul. In this episode, we explore a question Christian coaches may not ask often enough: Are we helping people prepare their souls to carry the success they're working so hard to create? We'll look at what Scripture says about the surprising spiritual dangers of abundance, why the finish line keeps moving, and how to uncover the deeper desire beneath the goals we pursue. We'll also explore practical questions that can help clients protect what matters most before greater opportunity begins quietly renegotiating their lives. Because someday, a client may actually get the thing they've been working toward. The hope is that when they arrive, they're still deeply rooted in God, present to the people they love, and able to enjoy what He has given them. Feeling Behind? Workshop: What if you could stop feeling like you're perpetually behind? If you're tired of ending the day wondering why you didn't get enough done, looking at other people and feeling like you should be further along, or carrying the nagging sense that you need to hurry up and catch up, Feeling Behind? is for you. Join us for this free online workshop on October 27 and come away with a little more breathing room, a little less pressure, and greater freedom to live the life God has given you at the pace He is actually asking you to live it.

Building a coaching practice can feel like trying to solve a puzzle when you're not even sure you have all the pieces. You know you want to serve people well, honor God with your gifts, and build something sustainable, but what actually makes the difference between a practice that struggles and one that grows?  In this special episode, Chris McCluskey draws from decades of experience building his own practice and helping shape the field of Christian coaching to share five keys that matter most. Whether you're just beginning or you've been coaching for years, you'll come away with practical wisdom for building a practice with greater clarity and confidence. Chris offers the kind of perspective that usually comes from traveling the road yourself, including what deserves your attention, what can quietly derail you, and how to hold the business side of coaching alongside your desire to faithfully serve God and your clients.  Think of it as a chance to pull up a chair with someone a few miles farther down the road and learn what he wishes more coaches knew.

What does master-level coaching sound like when a leader faces one of the hardest conversations they'll ever have? In this Coaching Mastery episode, Dr. Andrew Gorter coaches a leader preparing to let a team member go.

Throughout the coaching session, Cindy Schmelzenbach, MCC pauses to highlight the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Master Certified Coach (MCC) competencies at work, helping listeners understand not only what Andrew is doing, but why his coaching creates such meaningful transformation.

In this episode, you'll discover: * Why masterful coaches resist the urge to solve their client's problem. * How powerful coaching moves from managing circumstances to shaping leadership identity. * What it looks like to partner with a client instead of directing the conversation. * How simple, thoughtful questions can unlock profound insight. * The importance of honoring both compassion and clarity during difficult leadership moments. * How awareness naturally leads to confident action.

What if coaching is not another leadership trend, but a deeply practical way to help Christian leaders listen, discern, and lead with greater clarity? In this conversation, Chris McCluskey talks with Fr. Ian Pac-Urar and the Reverend David Limiero about the emerging Orthodox Christian coaching movement and why professional-grade coaching is gaining traction among clergy, ministry leaders, and people of faith. Together, they explore why coaching can be especially meaningful in ministry settings where leaders often carry heavy responsibility, complex decisions, and a quiet sense of isolation. Rather than offering advice from the outside, coaching creates space for leaders to hear themselves think, notice what God may already be stirring, and discern the next faithful step with greater clarity. They also discuss how coaching fits naturally alongside the Orthodox tradition's deep emphasis on contemplation, sacred listening, humility, and discernment. Far from replacing pastoral care, spiritual direction, mentoring, confession, or discipleship, coaching can strengthen the way leaders listen, serve, and accompany others in the life of faith.

Marketing your coaching can feel overwhelming, especially when every platform, expert, and algorithm seems to be shouting a different set of instructions. Should you post more? Network more?

This conversation brings a welcome sense of clarity and calm. You'll hear a grounded, practical approach to building a coaching business without hype, gimmicks, or frantic self-promotion. Instead of chasing every strategy, you'll be invited back to a few timeless principles that help you build trust, serve generously, and take the next faithful step toward the clients you're called to serve.

Suffering eventually walks into every coaching conversation. The question is not whether it will appear, but how we will respond when it does. In this thoughtful and grounded conversation, we explore what it means to stay present with clients in seasons of pain without rushing to fix, rescue, or theologize too quickly.

In this episode, you'll gain: * A clearer framework for coaching clients who are walking through deep suffering * Confidence in staying present without trying to "solve" the pain * Insight into when to refer to counseling and how to recognize those indicators * Encouragement to anchor your coaching in Scripture without becoming directive * A renewed vision for how suffering, held in faith, can lead to transformation --- Start your journey to become a Professional Christian Life Coach!  Connect with an Academic Advisor: https://calendly.com/d/cqkt-5nf-5pw/connect-with-an-academic-advisor?utm_source=podcast Join the Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/professionalchristiancoaching/ Our gift to you! 15+ Hours of FREE Training "The Ultimate Christian Coaching Bundle": https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/bundle PCCI Website: https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristianCoaching/videos

Presence lies at the center of both professional coaching and Christian formation. This episode explores presence not as a technique or coaching skill alone, but as a disciplined way of being. For Christian coaches, presence is where ICF-aligned professionalism and faith come together rather than compete. In coaching, presence means being fully engaged, comfortable with not knowing, able to work with silence, and responsive rather than reactive. Spiritually, Scripture reveals God as a present God. From the burning bush to the ministry of Jesus, transformation flows from attentive presence, not hurried action. The conversation addresses a key truth: we cannot be present with clients beyond the level we are present with ourselves. Stillness, surrender, and self-awareness shape our ability to hold space for others. Practical reflections highlight what Christ-centered, client-centered presence looks like in real sessions, including honoring boundaries, resisting advice-giving, trusting the process, and allowing insight to emerge in its own time.   --- Start your journey to become a Professional Christian Life Coach!  Connect with an Academic Advisor: https://calendly.com/d/cqkt-5nf-5pw/connect-with-an-academic-advisor?utm_source=podcast Join the Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/professionalchristiancoaching/ Our gift to you! 15+ Hours of FREE Training "The Ultimate Christian Coaching Bundle": https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/bundle PCCI Website: https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristianCoaching/videos

What if the best parts of the year were not the biggest ones, but the quiet gifts of God hidden right in plain sight? In this fourth "Favorite Things" conversation, we pause to look back before we look ahead. Not to count achievements or tally wins, but to name the ordinary graces that formed us. The tables that gathered people. The roads that reopened after seasons of waiting. The work that surprised us with joy. The callings that deepened instead of diminished. Threaded through it all is the goodness of God. The steady gift of family and friendship. And the quiet force of coaching as it shapes leaders, ministries, and everyday lives from the inside out. This episode is an invitation to slow down long enough to remember. To notice what God has done. To give thanks for what did not have to happen but did. Before the year turns, let gratitude open your eyes to the grace that has been carrying you all along. --- Start your journey to become a Professional Christian Life Coach!  Connect with an Academic Advisor: https://calendly.com/d/cqkt-5nf-5pw/connect-with-an-academic-advisor?utm_source=podcast Join the Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/professionalchristiancoaching/ Our gift to you! 15+ Hours of FREE Training "The Ultimate Christian Coaching Bundle": https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/bundle PCCI Website: https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristianCoaching/videos
