OUR CORE VALUES
Our core training values form an acronym: C-H-A-N-G-E-D
Coaching Approach
Coaching is our core methodology for working with personal transformation.
“Coaching is the best way we’ve found to work with a leader’s heart.”
Believing in people
Ask, don’t tell
God moves when I am listening
Heaven
Heaven is our goal, our measuring rod, our joy, and our destiny.
“If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.”
Heaven’s perspective gives the circumstances of my life story meaning
Heaven makes all things well
My destiny is in heaven, not on earth
Authenticity
Authentic relationship is both a prerequisite and a byproduct of living from the heart.
“The New Testament was written by authentic leaders for an authentic community.”
With God, with others, in my circumstances
Relationship is the context for transformation.
Open about my brokenness and my glory
New Testament Leadership Model
We lead from the heart as modeled in the New Testament.
“Leaders whose desires are connected to Jesus will naturally function as empowering servant leaders.”
Team leadership
Women in leadership
Relational influence vs. authority-based leadership
Empowerment and stewarding people’s destinies
Building the larger kingdom vs. our own sphere of influence
God Initiates Change
Heart change results from our response to God’s activity, not our own willpower.
“God is the change agent, not us.”
Change as a process vs. a choice
Leaning in vs. taking over
Encounter
The heart changes through experience; and our key experience is encounters with Jesus.
“Without encounter the heart lies dead.”
We focus on the emotional brain, because that’s where the problem lies
Rhema (the experiential word) changes the heart, Logos renews the mind
Letting Jesus do all the ministry
Desire
Desire fulfilled in relationship with God is the key to living the Christian life.
“Jesus’ way of change is the way of desire.”
Desire is the source of human behavior
God’s way of change is from the inside out, through filled desire
We were made for desire fulfilled
