Perfect for: Anyone who is or has been confused about the difference between coaching and disciple making. 
 
Coaching is non-directive, but disciple making is directive.
    Disciple making however is directive, but don’t mistake directive with inflexible. Disciple makers are experts/models for what it means to follow Jesus. A disciplee is someone who recognizes his need to learn from the discipler. 
Disciple making requires faithfulness to Jesus, coaching requires faithfulness to a process.
    A discipler can’t develop someone further than she’s developed. She must not only be a maturing disciple, she must also know how to help another become a maturing disciple.
    Coaching however depends on the process of listening and inquiry. This allows a coach to coach doctors without being a doctor or lawyers without being a lawyer.
Coaching assumes you know what you need to know, disciple making assumes you don’t.
    Disciple making assumes you know some things and don’t know others.
 
Coaching is primarily self-focused, but disciple making is primarily others centered.
     Disciple making relationships begin because the discipler wants to help another grow to maturity.
 
Takeaway: Coaching and disciple making are not the same.
 
Action Step: “Take some time to evaluate your disciple making relationship and ask the question, am I coaching or am I making disciples.”
