"Why has God given Christian Coaching to the Church at this time?"

Anyone who's worked on a church leadership team knows the spiel about team values: Here's what we believe is important; here are the behaviors and attitudes we promote in our organization. Although often borne out of a noble desire among the leaders, these "organizational values" often fail to enlist or even inspire the people within the organization, and are typically perceived as an attempt to control them rather than free them up, a vaguely threatening reminder that "Big Brother is watching." So why does this happen?
