Coaching in Discipleship
Intentional Discipleship Group Coaching
Coaching cohorts are not workshops or seminars. While some content will be introduced throughout the coaching cohorts the primary purpose is to immediately implement the discipleship dimensions in personal practice and within the local ministry context. Participants should be prepared to give attention to the discipleship practices between sessions. Learning and growth takes place through practice and reflection.
