As a retired Presbyterian minister, I have from time to time been asked to mentor pastors new to ministry or new to our area.  I decided to take coach training initially to equip me to be a more effective mentor.  One session into the training I realized that every pastor -- no, I will go even further and say every person -- can benefit from having a coach.  Every one of us needs someone in our lives who will listen intently and ask important questions, all without an agenda -- someone who is not trying to "fix" anything for us, but who walks with us as we find our own way forward.
