1. Reflecting on the Journey
As coaches, we often encourage our clients to celebrate wins and learn from challenges. This month, let’s turn the mirror on ourselves. Take a moment to reflect on:
The ways God has worked through you to bless your clients and community.
Lessons learned from both successes and setbacks.
Areas where growth has taken root, even if the process felt slow.
Reflection Prompt: Spend time journaling about how you’ve witnessed God’s faithfulness this year. What moments stand out as evidence of His hand at work?
2. Embracing Rest and RenewalDecember can be busy, filled with holiday preparations and professional deadlines. But it’s also a time when God invites us to rest and recharge.
In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
As coaches, we pour so much into others. This season, prioritize self-care—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—so you can enter the new year refreshed and ready to serve.
Practical Tip: Schedule intentional quiet moments with God this month. Let Him renew your spirit, whether it’s a morning devotional, a walk in nature, or simply sitting in stillness.
3. Recommitting to the Vision
As you prepare for 2025, revisit the vision God has placed on your heart for your coaching ministry. Are there areas that need refining? Are there new directions He’s calling you toward? December is a perfect time to realign with His plan and seek clarity for the next season.
Faithful Action: Write down one God-sized goal for your coaching practice in 2025 and commit it to prayer. Trust Him to guide you in taking the first step toward it.
4. Giving the Gift of EncouragementThe holiday season is a time of giving, and as Christian coaches, one of the greatest gifts we can offer is encouragement. Reach out to clients, colleagues, or friends with words of affirmation and hope. A kind note, prayer, or simple check-in can make a lasting impact.
Challenge: Identify three people in your circle who may need encouragement this season. Write them a note or give them a call to share God’s love and remind them of their worth.
Looking Ahead with Anticipation
As we say goodbye to this year and prepare to embrace the next, let’s do so with hearts full of gratitude and anticipation. God has already gone before us into 2025, paving the way for new opportunities to grow, serve, and glorify Him.
May this December be a time of grace, joy, and renewal for each of you. Let’s finish the year strong, knowing that the best is yet to come with God.
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” —Isaiah 40:31
Wishing you a blessed and peaceful holiday season, The Virginia Association of Christian Coaches
