Constructive Ways to Work towards Providing Better and Efficacious Pastoral Coaching

One of the most important responsibilities that pastors bear on their shoulders is connecting with people and offering pastoral coaching to those seeking spiritual guidance. For any type of coaching, there are some skills that need to be developed to ensure that the message that is being put across is well received by people. An effective teaching is not the one that simply states the dos and don’ts but rather is something that inspires and touches the hearts of people and gives them food for thought.

How To Make The Most Of Your Pastoral Teaching?

•Supplement The Facts With Interesting Anecdotes: It is easy to lose the attention of people if you just keep narrating facts. In order to have an attentive and involved audience you need to make sure that your oration is enriched with delightful stories that encompass the gist of the important points of your speech. •Encourage People To Ask Questions: Involve people in active and dynamic discussions. Prompt people to let go of any reservations and freely voice their questions. The more resolution people receive of their queries, the more satisfied they are likely to feel.

•Avoid Using Over Complicated Terminology: Using overly complex jargons will only make it that much difficult for you to deliver your message. Using simple and conversational language will help more and more people to absorb in your teachings.

•Use Case Studies For Better Explanation: Use cases studies to showcase show how your sermons can be practiced in life. Case studies are a great way to show the application of theoretical ideas into real-life scenarios.

•Don’t Overwhelm People With Too Many Ideas: People are likely to feel inundated if you juggle amongst different ideas failing to focus on one main message. Try to encapsulate your main idea in a catchphrase and make maximum usage of it. The more you use it, the more people are likely to remember it.

•Guide People To Implement The Teachings In Their Lives: Listening to homily is one thing but actually putting them in daily lives is whole another arena. If you want that your sermon makes a difference in the lives of your audience then make sure to also tell them how they can put all that they learnt into action.

•Explain The Rationale Behind Your Teachings: People are much more inquisitive and skeptical today than ever before. Do not expect them to let go of their presumptions without providing solid basis for your own ideas. Reason with people and challenge them to broaden their minds to newer perspectives.

•Use Audio/Visuals For Lively Sessions: Just talking throughout sermon session will make people zone out in a matter of minutes. Try using some audio/visual aids like power point presentations, short movies, documentaries, etc. to keep people interested throughout the session.

These are some tips in which you can make your pastoral coaching a lot more constructive and compelling. Better coaching leads to better learning which ultimately leads to positive changes in people’s lives.
