From “Why Every Church Leader Needs A Coach.”

The benefit of gospel coaching is that it takes the message of the gospel – a message proclaiming that God takes weak and ordinary people and does great things through them to show of the surpassing greatness of Jesus Christ – and uses it to transform leaders and their churches so that they, in turn, will be used to transform the lives of others.  Coaching isn’t the secret to greatness; it’s a proven means to facilitate gospel transformation in every area of a ministry leader’s life so that he can effectively lead others in the mission of god through his local church.
