    In this episode, Dr. Tom Wood and Jim Moon, Jr. sit down with Matt Waldock from the UK to discuss the art of asking good questions and then truly listening. How can you focus on meeting with your Coachee in a way that you're not telling them what to do, but asking good questions to get a clear picture of what they need to work on and how the Holy Spirit is leading. Your role as a Gospel Coach is to help your Coachee put what they know into action and help them find other subject matter experts to help them learn what they need to know. * Download the Adaptive Coaching quadrant spreadsheet for this podcast at ⁠https://www.cmmnet.org/podcasts/podcast/series⁠

    The world is going through a time of unprecedented culture shift and the speed of change will only continue to accelerate. It is affecting business, governments, human relationships, and churches.  Antipathy towards God, His church, and His kingdom, makes us cry out for spiritual awakening. Many pastors and their spouses are experiencing isolation, decision fatigue, spiritual decline, physical exhaustion as well as marriage and family strains. So, how does a Gospel Coach meet their Coachee at the point of their need? Most people would say that “Coaching” people is non-directive, but to say that all the answers are within a personal is very human-centered. Asking a lot of questions during Gospel Coaching and sharing your story with your Coachee is needed for the conversation and relational aspect of the relationship. As Gospel-centered leaders, we should be the most prolific in understanding that we don't rely on a methodically driven approach to coaching.

    Leaders are often facing decisions and questions that are bigger than their experience and wisdom. They need someone to help with practical issues. A Gospel Coach helps create space to think clearly and give wise reinforcement, and how to turn that wise strategy into a plan.

To ask good questions, you must be able to listen to what your Coachee is struggling with. Good coaches have a collection of good questions that move the conversation along.

It's helping people navigate their course. The Coach is there to help a Coachee uncover what going on in their life.
