Is your sole business your soul business? As a marketplace ministry expert, I believe it should be. Everything we do in business and personally should glorify our Father.

Take a look at whether your values are represented in your customer service, in your dealings with clients or customers, and vendors. Every point of contact is your opportunity to bless someone and sow or water a seed.

Love and blessings,

$300 Off Recession Recovery Coupons Available at PCCCA Christian Coaching & Counseling Academy for Limited Time

2010-09-29T10:45:00.000-07:00

Finances are on everyone's mind now.

With midterm election results unknown, many of us are hoarding our resources for fear of the unknown. But this tactic, my friends, can hurt us as well. If money does not flow in our culture, everything will eventually come to a half. Businesses that are already suffering could be closed permanently. We need to support fellow believers and keep doing business as God's Word tells us. We are to occupy until He returns. What does that mean? Simply, keep working, keep growing, keep multiplying and do business with each other.

I have personlly chosen to ignore the recession as I keep my eyes focused on what God wants me to do. And God has honored that by sustaining us as others aren't as fortunate. I believe God favors us when we allow his blessings to flow through us, to others. So here is my "through and to" blessing for you!

For a limited time, PCCCA is offering Recession Recovery Coupons in the amount of $300 off the Christian life coach certification (CCLC) program and $100 off the Christian Counselor training and certification program. Just visit the academy website at http://www.pccca.org/ to learn more about our programs.

When you are ready to enroll, just go the online enrollment form at http://www.pccca.org/enroll_form.html
Remember, since this is a limited time offer, you need to make your payment by phone by calling our office at 239-540-4660. Otherwise the automated system is unable to process the Recession Recovery Coupons.

God bless you as you honor Him by studying and working to fulfill your divine purpose!

Love and blessings,
Dr. Bush

Order "My FREE, Quick, Complete Christian Coach Training Checklist" or guide

2010-09-26T21:32:00.000-07:00

Would you like to quickly evaluate coaching schools and/or programs to see whether they meet with your personal needs? Now there is a free checklist you can complete to compare what is available.

The checklist was developed to raise up authentic Bible-based, Christian programs. Unfortunately there are many programs or schools who use a "Christian" name or descriptive, when their programs are not entirely what they claim. This can cause confusion and distrust among believers. It is my hope that these deceptions are accidental and the promoters are well meaning but misinformed, rather than deliberate.

As the author of this checklist, obviously it is my hope you will consider training at PCCCA. But most important is that you pray about this decision and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, regardless of the school you are led to.

This thorough checklist is 10 pages long. It offers 25 of the most important criteria you need to be aware of, offers a scoring system and also explains why each criteria is of particular importance. You can order your FREE checklist HERE. It will be delivered to you within minutes as a digitally downloadable pdf document.

If you seek authentic, Bible-based, Spirit-led training, you need to know that there are options available and at least one Christian coaching school offers the uncompromised Word of God as its foundation. This school is the Professional Christian Coaching and Counseling Academy.

I pray that this checklist is helpful to you. If you have any questions, please email me at admin@pccca.org with any questions.

Best Christian / Biblical Coaching Career Evaluation - and it's FREE

2010-02-16T22:11:00.000-08:00

So often people ask me how they can know for sure whether Christian coaching career is for them. While that decision is yours alone and hopefully you are seeking your calling prayerfully, you can take this simple

yet in-depth evaluation to find out whether you should be looking seriously into Christian coaching.

Previously I had only found evaluations designed for the secular coaching world or for business. So I decided it was time to create an evaluation uniquely designed for Christians... since we have our own unique world view and belief system.

I also wanted to make sure it was graded by hand so that your response was not just generated by an automated system, but rather that you would get an email from a real, live human being, who was scoring your evaluation expressly for YOU.

Better yet, this service is FREE. So why not take the evaluation now. You can find it HERE.

Christian Grief Coach Training and Certification Becomes Available

2010-01-26T18:54:00.000-08:00

Who will meet the needs of countless individuals worldwide, who are suffering from loss? Grief coaching from a biblical worldview is the most empowering coaching available to help others move from the depths of their loss-related sorrow to a newfound life of daily joy.

There are many types of losses we are forced to cope with and above are just a few. They are different one from another, yet each one can cause devastating pain and keep us from focusing, working

effectively and relating properly. The pain of loss can cause us to react in unproductive and unhealthy ways, unless we deliberately choose a more productive path.

Where do we struggle with grief?

Loss of a spouse, child, family member or friend
Natural disaster (ie. Jan., 2010 earthquake in Haiti)
Loss of a marriage
Loss of health
Loss of a home to foreclosure
Loss of a beloved family pet
Loss of a job
Financial loss due to unscrupulous dealings
Loss of a relationship

and more ...

You may be thinking to yourself that you don't coach or work in a grief-related area nor do you expect to. Please understand that every one of us will be affected directly or indirectly with losses during our lifetime. The question remains: Will we be prepared? And will we stand ready to help those we work with, when a tragedy happens to them? Our world sadly, has not become a more comforting place. Now is the time to get trained.

Christian Grief Coach Training and Certification is ideal for:

A new coach seeking Christian Grief Coach training and certification.
An experienced Christian coach seeking credentials in this specialty
A Christian coach at any level who wants grief coach training using an uncompromised, Biblical foundation.
A pastor, ministry or lay worker whose position will be enhanced by solid, Biblical grief coach training.
Someone seeking personal growth, challenge and training to help others in their family, circle of friends or community overcome grief and the pain of loss.

Why grief coaching instead of counseling? While counseling can be very helpful with deep-seated emotional
issues or in cases where clinical issues have developed, biblical coaching is designed to help the client overcome more quickly by leaning on the power of the Holy Spirit to help them make those changes in their life that the Word of God tells us, will enable us to live a full, joyful and yes, abundant life!

What's The Buzz in Christian Coaching?Christian Coaching "Manifesto"

2009-12-18T18:28:00.001-08:00

It's here... the book that is. Debuting on December 1, 2009, the Comprehensive Christian Coach Handbook is available and sales have surpassed all expections. Not only are there books on their way to almost every state of the United States and Canadian Provinces, an unbelievable amount of orders have come in from South Africa, Sweden, UK, Australia, Japan and even Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The last country, Dubai (or UAE) is known to be almost 100% Muslim, yet Christian coaching is moving forward there!

Why should this book make such waves across the world? Because many believe the contents of this book constitute a Christian Coaching "Manifesto". (I had to look up the contemporary meaning of manifesto and here is what http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ definition stated: "A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions..." Yes, if that is a manifesto, then this book fits the definition.

Gone are philosophies and techniques integrated with new age and secular thought. What has taken their place is the uncompromising, unapologetic faith in God and His Word. Pastor Keith Krueger stated, "This book is even better than expected. It is full of Scripture. There is no doubt the Holy Spirit inspired this work. The book will be a legacy."

If you want to know more about what all the buzz is about, then visit the book's website at http://www.christiancoachhandbook.com/.

Rave reader reviews have started to arrive and I expect to be posting some of them soon.

Pray for Juan's Journey!

2008-09-16T08:02:00.000-07:00

As many of you already know, we were able to raise the funds to pay for Juan Churion airfare from Venezuela to the conference.

Just as we completed the fundraiser this past Friday, we learned the news that Venezuela had cut off diplomatic ties with the US. We first learned this from Juan, when we phoned him to give him the great news. Then I Googled "Venezuela ambassador" and up came a news report posted Friday, 9-12-08, explaining the circumstances. Here is a link to one of the reports from the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/11/AR2008091104043.html

Please join us in praying that Juan is able to obtain his travel visa and join us at the conference this year!

Love and blessings,

Dr. Bush

Once we get inline with our purpose and IF that purpose is working in some Christian coaching capacity, we must be prepared and equipped to meet the challenges of today's life situations.

REGISTRATION OPENS for Christian Coaching Tele-Summit May 1, 2

2008-03-20T16:46:00.000-07:00

I am really excited to announce that registration opened on March 17th for our first major event of the year - the 2008 Christian Coaching Tele-Summit.

What is a telesummit? It is a huge, top-level conference call, where you get to hear presentations by the best coaches and Master level trainers in the industry. What's so great is that you don't need to travel anywhere to get all this must-know information. You will receive a workbook and session itinerary, so you can call in from your office or home phone. Just call from wherever you are... Make sure you have a quiet place so you can take notes and focus. The program promises to be life-transforming. We are even offering a CD set of the Tele-Summit for a small additional fee, if you order it at the time of registration.

Call times will be confirmed later, however to allow for an international audience, most call times will likely be 10 am, 1 pm, 4 pm and 6 or 7 pm Eastern (NY) time. Since Europe is 5-6 hours ahead of us, they won't have to stay up all night.

We will have some world-class presenters including Tony Stoltzfus, who is one of the most prominent leaders and trainers for Christian coaching skills today. Tony has been inspiring Christian leaders for more years, than I even knew coaching existed. You simply can't miss this phenomenal event.

But, registration is limited to only the first 250! So if you want to participate, you must register early. Registrations started arriving within minutes of announcing that registration had opened.

Just visit http://www.christiancoachingtelesummit.com/ for all the details and registration.

Christian Coach Light - flagship program of Faith to Action

2008-03-05T12:47:00.000-08:00

Civic Duty and Faith to Action

2008-03-05T12:31:00.000-08:00

We are today in the midst of some pretty incredible campaigns to see who will be the next president of the United States. I hope you attend a church where your leadership encourages your civic involvement. It is of utmost importance that Christians get involved with selecting the next president. Why?

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" author unknown

So what are you doing? Are you running for office? Are you actively campaigning and supporting your candidate of choice? Are you voting? Or have you thrown up your hands in frustration because you don't care for any of the options you see?

The word of God tells us we need to be involved with supporting the candidate we deem best suited. We need to pray for our candidate and support him or her. We also need to pray daily for our country's leaders, that they gain wisdom and insight into the proper actions to take.

If you feel passionately about getting involved, do so, invite your friends and family - then encourage your pastor or other church leaders to encourage this involvement. 80% of our country's population claim to be Christian.

Christians can choose our next president... but we need to get involved and vote! While this is not a political blog, we are in a presidential election year and this blog is all about moving faith to action. This year, make a difference!

Not All Christian Coaches Are Created Equal

2008-03-05T07:12:00.000-08:00

Just as in any profession, there are those with varying competencies, some very qualified, others with far less experience and ability. Further, since coaching is an unregulated profession, anyone can hang out their shingle that they have opened a coaching practice. Well-meaning novices though, are not the worst enemy of Christian Life Coaching.

In my opinion, the most lethal predators are those who claim to be Christian coaches, yet knowingly draw in new age and secular modalities and methods to manipulate their clients' progress. In effect they try to take over the role of our sovereign God, when they try to control results. Some of these who claim to be "Christian", spiritual or faith coaches incorporate metaphysics and assorted ancillary practices of mind-reading, meta language patterns, spiral coaching that identifies client thinking patterns with colors, ouija boards and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), when all they need to do is use prayer, while being open to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

We also need to beware of Coaches who promote themselves as Christian, yet hold alliances with secular or new age organizations. If you see the logos of these organizations promoted on a coach's website or marketing materials, you will know they honor man over God.

Authentic Spirit-led, Bible-based Christian life coaching stands on its own merit and is the MOST powerful life coaching available to mankind, now or ever. There is nothing man-divised that can add any more power or value to the coaching than what God has already given us, if ONLY we will learn the Word and follow its teaching. We know God's Word will NOT return void.

We need to be aware of these and not fall prey to unscrupulous and fraudulent teaching. The Bible is VERY clear about what we should and should not do as Christians. There are many more scripture references but here are a few. (If you know of other verses, please click on the Comment section and leave them for other readers.)

"Do not be carried about by different and varied and alien teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established and ennobled and strengthened by means of grace (God's favor and spiritual blessing) ..." Hebrews 13:9

"It (the grace of God) has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion)..." Titus 2:12

"Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God." Ephesians 6:14

"Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap." Galatians 6:7

What's It All About?

2008-03-04T15:51:00.000-08:00

The Faith to Action Movement has begun and is picking up speed as it travels across our globe, igniting the hearts of believers with the passion of their faith. Believers realize the time is now to bring their faith to action and make a stand for NO MORE COMPROMISE with the world's value system.
The time is now to become excellent Christians, excellent in our work and private lives. Let no one of us cause any other person to stumble in their faith.
Look to this blog regularly for more information, education and inspiration for taking YOUR faith to action.
