Every leader needs someone in their corner. In this episode, Mike and Tim sit down with Dr. Scott and Brooke Greening of Branch Life Church and The Life Center to talk about coaching: what it is, why it matters, and how it helps leaders, churches, and businesses get unstuck and move forward.
Scott brings decades of experience helping leadership teams find strategic clarity, and Brooke brings a sharp eye for messaging and sales from her years in business development. Together they share what happens when someone comes alongside you, asks the right questions, and helps you see what God is already doing.
Scott and Brooke also share about the ministry coaching partnership between The Life Center and the Northeast Collaborative (NEC), which connects pastors and ministry leaders with seasoned coaches who have planted churches, developed leaders, and led through growth themselves. Whether it's leadership challenges, soul care, church planting, team development, or a conversation you don't quite have words for yet, there's a coach ready to help you think through what's next.
Whether you're planting, pastoring, leading a team, or running a business, this conversation will challenge you to think about who's coaching you, and who you should be coaching.
