Welcome – Expository Teaching for Spiritual Life Coaches
The Purpose and the WHY…
This blog exists to assist and help life coaches and spiritual mentors guide those they serve with proper spiritual formation and direction. We must use and exposit God’s word well in order to see people changed and transformed into the likeness of Christ.
WHY – to teach and instruct coaches by unpacking God’s word using the expository method in coaching. Expository teaching involves directly presenting information, concepts, ideas, and principles – It is an efficient way to transmit large bodies of knowledge across many subject areas.
Goal – “To convey the original message of the passage accurately, and to provide practical lessons for the audience.” Rooted in The Jewish tradition from a Rabbinical tradition and how Rabbis imparted the truth of the Torah to their disciples. Does any of this sound familiar??? It is how Jesus taught, lived and raised up all 12 of His disciples.
My WHY and My REASON – To help people break free and give coaches truth that can transform lives.
Isaiah 61:1-3 || Give people the good news/bind up brokenhearted people/se captives free and declare gods state of grace over them while we are here…

The Name
The Shepherds. Voice is based on John 10 “and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.”
· The goal and purpose is to assist people to listen to His voice and then coach others to listen for his voice and connect people to both His Word and empowered by His Spirit.
The Audience
Spiritual Life Coaches and Care Mentors that I serve at Bayside and really any other life coach or those that coach and lead life coaches in giving spiritual guidance to people.
This is currently one of the fastest growing areas of church ministry – The field of spiritual life coaching is experiencing significant growth within churches, with more congregations incorporating it as a tool to help individuals deepen their faith, navigate personal challenges, and foster spiritual development, driven by a growing desire for personalized guidance and a more holistic approach to faith practice.
