(excerpt from the “Introduction” to The Christian Man Coaching Guide)
Ask a Christian man who is succeeding in life, “What’s your secret?” and he’s probably going to tell you, “I had a mentor.” Or “A man took me under his wing and showed me the ropes.” Or something similar.
There’s no greater pathway to Christian success than for one man to intentionally coach (mentor, disciple) another man about how to integrate faith into all aspects of his life. That’s what Moses did for Joshua, what Elijah did for Elisha, and what Paul did for Timothy.
This guide will help you coach or be coached through the ten issues men say matter most in my book The Christian Man. Here are three suggested ways you can use this guide:
- You can be the coach or mentor who asks another man, “Would you like someone to help you think through the big decisions about Christian manhood?”
- You can ask a more experienced Christian man, “Would you be willing to coach me through The Christian Man Coaching Guide?”
- You can also work through the coaching guide with a new or existing small group.
This coaching guide contains ten sections. Each section begins with a shaded area that includes coaching goals, a big idea, and a discussion starter. That’s followed by a short narrative called “The Big Picture.” The shaded “Interact” areas with Scripture and questions are for you and your coach to discuss. In addition, each section offers one or more “action steps” to help you intentionally decide what kind of man you want to be in each of these ten key areas of biblical manhood. Optionally, you and your coach or group can also discuss the reflection and discussion questions at the end of each chapter of the book The Christian Man.
By the time you’re finished, you will have a much clearer picture of the man you believe God is calling you to become. You won’t be able to implement everything you want at once, but you will have a written record of the action steps you want to take. So please turn the page and let’s get started!
