Best Christian / Biblical Coaching Career Evaluation - and it's FREE

So often people ask me how they can know for sure whether Christian coaching career is for them.  While that decision is yours alone and hopefully you are seeking your calling prayerfully, you can take this simple

yet in-depth evaluation to find out whether you should be looking seriously into Christian coaching.

Previously I had only found evaluations designed for the secular coaching world or for business. So I decided it was time to create an evaluation uniquely designed for Christians... since we have our own unique world view and belief system.

I also wanted to make sure it was graded by hand so that your response was not just generated by an automated system, but rather that you would get an email from a real, live human being, who was scoring your evaluation expressly for YOU.

Better yet, this service is FREE.  So why not take the evaluation now. You can find it HERE.

Christian Grief Coach Training and Certification Becomes Available

Who will meet the needs of countless individuals worldwide, who are suffering from loss? Grief coaching from a biblical worldview is the most empowering coaching available to help others move from the depths of their loss-related sorrow to a newfound life of daily joy.

There are many types of losses we are forced  to cope with and above are just a few. They are different one from another, yet each one can cause devastating pain and keep us from focusing, working

effectively and relating properly. The pain of loss can cause us to react in unproductive and unhealthy ways, unless we deliberately choose a more productive path.

Where do we struggle with grief?

1. Loss of a spouse, child, family member or friend
2. Natural disaster (ie. Jan., 2010 earthquake in Haiti)
3. Loss of a marriage
4. Loss of health
5. Loss of a home to foreclosure
6. Loss of a beloved family pet
7. Loss of a job
8. Financial loss due to unscrupulous dealings
9. Loss of a relationship

and more ...

You may be thinking to yourself that you don't coach or work in a grief-related area nor do you expect to. Please understand that every one of us will be affected directly or indirectly with losses during our lifetime. The question remains: Will we be prepared? And will we stand ready to help those we work with, when a tragedy happens to them? Our world sadly, has not become a more comforting place. Now is the time to get trained.

Christian Grief Coach Training and Certification is ideal for:

1. A new coach seeking Christian Grief Coach training and certification.
2. An experienced Christian coach seeking credentials in this specialty
3. A Christian coach at any level who wants grief coach training using an uncompromised, Biblical foundation.
4. A pastor, ministry or lay worker whose position will be enhanced by solid, Biblical grief coach training.
5. Someone seeking personal growth, challenge and training to help others in their family, circle of friends or community overcome grief and the pain of loss.

Why grief coaching instead of counseling? While counseling can be very helpful with deep-seated emotional
issues or in cases where clinical issues have developed, biblical coaching is designed to help the client overcome more quickly by leaning on the power of the Holy Spirit to help them make those changes in their life that the Word of God tells us, will enable us to live a full, joyful and yes, abundant life!   READ MORE

What's The Buzz in Christian Coaching?Christian Coaching "Manifesto"

It's here... the book that is. Debuting on December 1, 2009, the Comprehensive Christian Coach Handbook is available and sales have surpassed all expections. Not only are there books on their way to almost every state of the United States and Canadian Provinces, an unbelievable amount of orders have come in from South Africa, Sweden, UK, Australia, Japan and even Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The last country, Dubai (or UAE) is known to be almost 100% Muslim, yet Christian coaching is moving forward there!

Why should this book make such waves across the world? Because many believe the contents of this book constitute a Christian Coaching "Manifesto". (I had to look up the contemporary meaning of manifesto and here is what http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ definition stated: "A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions..." Yes, if that is a manifesto, then this book fits the definition.

Gone are philosophies and techniques integrated with new age and secular thought. What has taken their place is the uncompromising, unapologetic faith in God and His Word. Pastor Keith Krueger stated, "This book is even better than expected. It is full of Scripture. There is no doubt the Holy Spirit inspired this work. The book will be a legacy."

If you want to know more about what all the buzz is about, then visit the book's website at http://www.christiancoachhandbook.com/.

Rave reader reviews have started to arrive and I expect to be posting some of them soon.

Pray for Juan's Journey!

As many of you already know, we were able to raise the funds to pay for Juan Churion airfare from Venezuela to the conference.

Just as we completed the fundraiser this past Friday, we learned the news that Venezuela had cut off diplomatic ties with the US. We first learned this from Juan, when we phoned him to give him the great news. Then I Googled "Venezuela ambassador" and up came a news report posted Friday, 9-12-08, explaining the circumstances. Here is a link to one of the reports from the Washington Post:

Please join us in praying that Juan is able to obtain his travel visa and join us at the conference this year!

Love and blessings,

Dr. Bush
