The error of combining faith and worldly methods

As a young believer in her 20s, Dr. Leelo thought it made sense to take the best parts of both coaching practices and apply them. But this only resulted in frustration, for Dr. Leelo could not progress until she understood the divine truth: that all answers can ultimately only come from God.

Secular coaching encourages people to believe in what feels natural. All teachings are equal. There is no one right way to do things. This line of thinking is dangerous, leading us down a path of moral relativism. 

Spirit-led coaching, marketing, & business

No matter what man does, his methods will never be greater than God’s. For this reason alone, we need to turn to God for inspiration. By patronizing new age or secular / humanistic courses and materials, Satan’s deceptions are being forwarded creating confusion, deception and ambivalence toward God’s plan.

Instead, we should remain steadfast and uncompromising in our faith. We must remain committed to Christian coaching so as not to confuse clients. Be vocal about your disapproval of worldly teachings and be honest in promoting your services and business. God has given us our talents to serve Him. When we do, we will bear much fruit.
