- Listen as I share four (4) ways for you to know if you’re called to be a Christian Life Coach.
Greetings! I am Dr. Patrice Carter, The Coaches’ Coach,
My purpose is to add value to my fellow Coaches and the coaching industry as a whole and to encourage new coaches or those considering coaching, on their journey, through my expertise, experiences and resources.
In this video, I share a definition of calling by Tony Stolzfus (2008) “calling” is an external commission I accept to serve a greater good. My impetus/choice to serve certain other without regard to personal reward.
I will share that as marketplace ministers, we can expect, given that we work for God that He is now our boss and He pays excellent benefits and wages. Our coaching is both a call to action, a call to work and a call to ministry. The rewards are numerous!
The four ways you can determine if you’re called to be a Christian Life Coach are to consider the following four broad topics and prayerfully and thoughtfully answer the following questions (Stolzfus, 2008):
**Remember that coaching is all about asking and listening. So as you consider, ask and as you ask listen and write down what you hear the Lord saying.
Legacy/Service
1. What legacy do you want to leave behind?
2. What’s a really great legacy look like to you? Give me an example or two of a life you truly admire.
3. What do you most care about that is bigger than you?
4. Imagine at the end of your life looking back. What deeds would enable you to honestly say, “that was a life well lived?”
Who will you serve?
Who do you want to help with your life?
Think back over the last 90 days. Who have you gone out of your way to help, in big ways or small ways? What drew you to each of these people?
Service from Suffering
1. What individuals or groups do you deeply identify with our of your own suffering?
2. What difficulties have you faced that become defining moments when you overcame them? How have those experiences equipped you to serve others?
3. In what areas of your life that were broken or messed up in the past are you now helping others? What messages of hope does your life embody for others?
Tuning Into God
1. What do your spiritual values have to say about the purpose of your life?
2. What has God put you on this earth for?
3. What could you do what the life you’ve been given that you would make you look forward to showing the results to your Creator

I am a licensed therapist working remotely as a Telehealth provider. The pandemic humbled me as I was able to reconnect with God. I sheltered in for about a year alone. Just me and the Lord. I was unemployed and just as the pandemic was “ending” he blessed me with a temporary remote job outside of my field. It was the hardest job I ever had. He pruned me and humbled me in ways I have never experienced. My only goal at this time is to obey God’s will and help others with the skills God has blessed me with come to the Lord or recommit to God. Secular therapy is incomplete without the guidance from the Holy Spirit.
What a beautiful and inspiring testimony. God is SO good and SO faithful! Without the help of the Holy Spirit we are desperate and powerless. I love Him.
Hello Dr. Patrice, I am so glad I literally stubbled upon your video as I was looking for ICF Exam material. I know I am called to be a coach, it was in the making long ago however I was confused and didn't quite know how to articulate the vision - needed clarity. Fast forward to NOW, it is so clear. Once I pass my exam I will look more into your program. This is precisely where I need to be to refine my niche. May God continue to bless your business and know that I was encouraged by you today. Four Year Later!!! Won't He do it! Yes He Will!!!
@annscherer1871 to God be the glory! I am so excited for you! I affirm that you will pass your exam and be a blessing to many through your coaching. I look forward to connecting with you when you're ready!
God led me here! I believe that I'm called to be a Christian life coach.
Praise God! The harvest is ripe and the laborers are truly few! If you're open to it, I offer 30-minute complimentary calls and would love to hear more about your vision for coaching. You can pick a day and time that works best for you here: www.drpatricecarter.com/schedule-appointment
I don’t think this was a mistake that I found your page. So,
amazing. However, I was told by so many that I am very skilled at talking to people and connecting at both my jobs I am labeled as the “mother to all” because I am always uplifting someone else despite whatever I am going through. I love it… I feel like helping others is my calling. I always been questioning myself on it though. Like the what if’s… Has God called me to this?!?!..
@nicole, I can totally relate to this. I was always that person. So, is the Lord calling you as a Christian Life Coach?
Thank you so much. You’re sweet and professional outlook is so rare. I’ve always wanted to help women who have not healed from trauma in their lives...Like myself, it’s taken
decades to heal, but once I truly accepted Jesus, the healing began. Now that I’m older, God has given me a little wisdom. I have friends that call me to complain about things in their lives and I listen and encourage them to trust God by referring to as many biblical scriptures the Holy Spirit brings to my mind. They don’t always want to hear about God and sometimes I feel like they just want to dump on someone and I am the one who will listen. I’ve always wanted to be a life coach to help women from a biblical Christian outlook. After hearing your testimony I now believe there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be a life coach in the marketplace to make an income. Thank you so much! God Bless You!

To God be the glory! Thank you.
I have always had a heart for helping people my friends always come to me for advice when they are struggling, coaching never crossed my mind untill one day I was watching a UA-cam video on jobs you can do from home and the girl said life coaching and I instantly was like that is something I would love to do, I would love to help people, I feel unqualified and like how could I do that and pushed the idea out of my head and started thinking of other careers and opportunities but I’m in a class and they said what would you want to do if money was not a problem if you had all the money in the world what would you do with your life and life coaching came back to my mind and heart, idk if it is what God has called me to do but I know I have a desire to help people I thought about working as a counselor for woman and children coming out of abusive lives and toxic relationships, but I know I can’t truly help someone without talking about my amazing God so that’s what led me to finding your page, I know this is something I would love to do just don’t know how.

I just need to talk to someone. I need a life coach to help me weed through the muck. Hard to see what I’m called to bec I love so many things. Paralyzed with creativity. Been sitting still n quiet still not heard it clear. Wish anyone had time to listen.
I know I am with you Sis! I pray God will bring us both clarity as we seek Him daily. We know He isn't a God of confusion (1 Corin 14:33) and that He inclines His ear to hear His children! Hold On my Sis. May He bless you with clarity, calm and direction. (Ephesians 1)

Thank you so much I love life coaching
You’re so welcome! I do too! What do you love most about it?
New subby. Thank you. Great video and good questions to ask yourself
Christina, I am SO excited to meet you! Thank you for taking the time to connect with me/us! How can I serve you?
I recently watched your video and I loved it! Thank you for taking the time to create this, sharing your story and how you have used your faith in Jesus to help you heal. I am not a life coach but I am considering it. My story is similar. Like yourself, it took me decades to heal. I am in my early 50's now, married to a wonderful man of God and I am starting to experience restoration for all the years that the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). There is a lot to my story probably too much to put here. Here are my answers to questions in your video: 1. Legacy and Service: the legacy I want to leave behind is wholeness, love and restoration. A love that never gives up and restores and creates wholeness to shattered people. The world will be better when restored people, can help the next generation be restored as well. The 1 thing that can make a real difference it would be people going through traumatic situations. Most of my life had a theme of trauma. Different kinds of trauma, childhood physical, emotional, verbal, neglect and spiritual abuse. As a teenager and into my early 20's I was raped. I am a child of divorce, I am divorced 1 time myself with 2 young sons at the time. Who will I serve? the people and needs I feel drawn to are marriage, family, abuse, trauma, pornography, suicide. Any injustice in these areas is what fires me up. These areas are also where people are coming to me. 2 weeks after my 13th birthday, my dad was killed by a drunk driver (parents were divorced at that time) and my mom kicked out my step dad and his 2 adult sons. After that happened and approximately 2 weeks later, people at school (mostly girls but some guys) who used to bully me came to my for advice and help. They were living in the situations I listed above. Today 42 years later...it is still the same! I currently work as a Behavior Analyst. My caseload consists of people coming out of the situations listed above. The difficulties that I faced that became my defining moments are: the last time I saw my dad alive was 5 days before he was killed. My dad had a heart to heart talk with me. He completely repented for abusing me, listed all the ways that he abused me and how he singled me out for the abuse (I have 2 sisters 1 older and 1 younger...he never abused them) just me and mom. He cried intensely. I had never seen my dad cry before. He asked me to forgive him and I paused. I heard the enemy talking to me and God talking to me. I decided to listen to God and I forgave him. My dad hugged me and for the first time in my life I felt safe...5 days later a drunk driver killed him. Another defining moment was when I confronted my first husband about his abuse. My purpose in life started out being healing and wholeness for myself, mom, and 2 sisters. Then it became helping people coming out of similar situations as myself and helping people be the best version of themself that they want to be.
Holly 😭 to God be the glory for His grace, mercy and healing power.
