Jon Van Bruggen left a comment for James Nored"Hey James, it's good to hear from you! I hope Resurrection Sunday was full of celebration and hope for both you and your community. To answer your questions, no, I'm not going to Exponential this year although it's definitely a…"
James Nored left a comment for Jon Van Bruggen"Hey Jon. Are you going to the Exponential Conference?
Also, are you ready to get our coaching up and going on this network?"
Jon Van Bruggen replied to Miguel Labrador's discussion What does a Missional Disciple Making Process look like? in the group Making Disciples Missionally"James, your concept for the inclusion of service and outreach was precisely the approach we took with our house church network in LA. Even before some in our community professed to be followers of Jesus they were serving alongside us and acting like…"

Making Disciples Missionally
How do we Make Disciples in whatever culture we find ourselves in. Programs don't work and methods are often incomplete. There remains a process, a biblical process. What is it?See More
Jon Van Bruggen commented on Miguel Labrador's blog post Should we "Plant" Churches?"Miguel, thanks for the intriguing question. Like James, this is a topic I've discussed with several "church planters" that I'm currently coaching and the scriptural evidence we've interacted with seems to point away from the…"
Jon Van Bruggen replied to Trey Finley's discussion Coaching But Not Christians in the group Christian Coaching"Hi Trey, I agree with you that there are many untapped applications for coaching, particularly in the business world where in many instances coaching has become another word for consulting (unfortunately). Businesses have tremendous potential for…"
Jon Van Bruggen replied to Jon Van Bruggen's discussion Is coaching the most missional activity we can engage in? in the group Christian Coaching"Hobby, thanks for your feedback on the CoachNet coaching philosophy. I would agree with you up to a point by saying that yes, when taken to the extreme and when followed to the letter, the 5R approach can become quite restricting over the long haul,…"
Hobby Chapin replied to Jon Van Bruggen's discussion Is coaching the most missional activity we can engage in? in the group Christian Coaching"Jon, Sorry about the late post. I didn't see that you posted until this past week. I appreciate your answer, it is what I was looking for.
I have really appreciated the philosophy behind coaching. It is not mentoring where you provide all of…"
Jon Van Bruggen commented on James Nored's blog post Is Christianity a movement or an institution? Lessons from the Health Care Debate"@ James. I totally agree. The cultural Christianity that is prevalent in some areas of North America is quite prohibitive to the movement of disciple-making in those areas because people already consider themselves disciples by the very fact that…"
Jon Van Bruggen commented on James Nored's blog post Is Christianity a movement or an institution? Lessons from the Health Care Debate"Great post James. Certainly in the Western context the church has become very institutionalized. I can't say the same for the church in Latin America, Asia, and Africa (fortunately) and knowing some people who serve around the world I would…"
Jon Van Bruggen commented on Jon Van Bruggen's blog post Coaching for Evangelism"@Chris. Great insights Chris and thanks for sharing those questions. I agree with you that approaching a conversation with an agenda is never helpful and can sometimes be harmful to a person's journey toward joining in the Kingdom way of life…"

Coaching for Evangelism
Posted on July 19, 2009 at 5:26pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
Here's a great article by friend and colleague Tom Clegg discussing the intersection of coaching and evangelism (article runs from pages 64-67). I wonder how many more of our friends, neighbors, and co-workers would be following Jesus today if we took Tom's approach of "asking" curious questions rather than sticking with our traditional approach of "telling" people about Jesus?
