So-Called "Life Coaching" apart from being the fad of the week in American Evangelical circles, shares a common pedigree with the Church Growth Movement. Both are outgrowths of management consulting. Life Coaching grew out of Executive Coaching which grew out of management consulting which has its origins in turn in Peter Drucker and similar management gurus. I am good at spotting these connections only because I studied Criminal Justice under Dr. Bohdan Yaworsky, the eminent Criminal Justice Management expert at New Jersey City University back in the 90's.

Whenever I read about the sheer stupidity of so-called Life Coaching, it always make me wonder how my parents and grandparents survived the Great Depression without it.
"Why are all these people ashamed of the Gospel."
Simple. Ego trips. The Gospel does not showcase the pastors and their loving efforts.
That places the feelings of the pastors above the Work of Our Lord!
Life coaching?? What the...? Isn't that what the Bible is for?
