The mission of ParentsArms is to be an arm of Jesus Christ to bring healing to the hurting and broken. ParentsArms is a division of Sanctuary Prayer Ministries and therefore functions under the prayer and covering of the ministry. Christian Life Coaches are trained life coaches who are saved and called to Christian coaching ministry. They have a passion for helping at-risk and in-crisis clients. They believe the Word of God is the ultimate authority on how to run a family and will allow the Holy Spirit to use it to direct clients to resources and assist clients in need.

Providing emotional support: A Christian Life Coach can offer an empathetic ear and a shoulder to lean on during what can be a very difficult time for clients. They can listen without judgment, offer encouragement, and help clients to cope with the emotional impact of the intervention.

Navigating the system: A Christian Life Coach can help clients navigate the often-complex bureaucracy of the CPS or DSS system, find housing when they are homeless or living in a vulnerable living in abusive, transitional, temporary, or vulnerable housing, escape an abusive relationship or familial situation, or get unstuck professional, socially spiritually or even emotionally.

Christian Life Coaches can help clients understand the paperwork involved, assist with filling out forms, and provide guidance on how to communicate effectively with caseworkers and other officials involved in the intervention.

Connect with Resources: Christian LifeCoaches help clients connect with resources. They aid clients in receiving Christian counseling, career coaching, Christian Life Coaching, deliverance ministry, and prayer support.

Christian Lifees are valuable allies for clients who are in crisis or transition. They can provide emotional support, and practical guidance, and help clients navigate the often-daunting process of staying afloat in a time of crisis. By working with a Christian Life Coach, clients can gain the support they need to weather this difficult time and come out on the other side stronger and more resilient.

Your role requires a unique set of qualities and attributes to effectively support and guide these clients through their challenging journey. Here are some key qualities that every Family Crisis Coach should possess:

Through active listening, you can gain insights into their needs, concerns, and desires for reunification, enabling you to tailor your support effectively.

Non-Judgmental Attitude: It is vital to maintain a non-judgmental attitude when working with clients in crisis. By avoiding judgment, you create an atmosphere of acceptance, encouraging clients to open up and seek help without fear of condemnation.

Problem-Solving Skills: Clients may face complex challenges, and your ability to think critically and offer practical solutions will be invaluable in guiding them toward overall healing.

Boundaries and Self-Care: Maintaining healthy boundaries and practicing self-care are vital for Christian Life Coaches. Caring for yourself ensures you can continue to provide quality support and avoid burnout.

The Importance of a Christ-Centered Approach:

At ParentsArms, our ministry is rooted in a Christ-centered approach to deliverance and healing. Understanding the significance of this approach is essential for Christian Life Coaches as it shapes how we provide support to clients in crisis. Here are some reasons a Christ-centered approach is vital in our ministry:

God’s Unconditional Love: The heart of the Christian faith lies in the belief of God’s unconditional love for every individual. By centering our approach on Christ’s love, we can extend compassion, acceptance, and grace to clients, regardless of their past or present circumstances.

Biblical Guidance: The Bible serves as a guidebook for life, offering wisdom, encouragement, and direction for those facing hardships. Incorporating biblical principles in our coaching empowers clients with timeless truths to navigate their challenges and grow spiritually.

Restoration and Redemption: Through Christ, we believe in the power of restoration and redemption. Clients in crisis often feel broken and hopeless, but by introducing them to the transformative power of God’s grace, we provide a path toward healing and wholeness.

Prayer and Intercession: A Christ-centered approach emphasizes the significance of prayer and intercession in delivering clients from adversity. As Christian Life Coaches, we rely on prayer to invite God’s presence into the lives of those we serve, trusting in His divine intervention.

Faith as a Source of Strength: In times of crisis, faith can be a source of great strength and resilience. By encouraging clients to lean on their faith and trust in God’s plan, we help them find the courage to face challenges and overcome obstacles.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation: Christ’s teachings on forgiveness and reconciliation are central to our approach. We encourage clients to foster forgiveness within their relationships, promoting healing and the possibility of reunification.

Emphasizing Hope: Our Christ-centered approach instills hope in clients, reminding them that even in the darkest moments, God’s light shines through. This hope provides the motivation and determination needed to persevere in their journey of reunification.

Modeling Christ’s Love: As Christian Life Coaches, we strive to model Christ’s love in our actions, interactions, and support. By exemplifying His compassion and servant-heartedness, we show clients the transformative power of God’s love in action.

The Christ-centered approach lies at the heart of ParentsArms’ mission to provide holistic support and deliverance to clients in crisis. By infusing our coaching with faith, love, and biblical principles, we offer clients a path toward restoration, reunification, and a deeper connection with God.
