Learning to Be Still | Coached by Truth
In this episode of Coached by Truth, Jim Kirkland explores something that can be surprisingly difficult in a busy, noisy, and demanding world: learning to be still.

The Discipline of Finishing What You Start | Coached by Truth

When You Don't See the Results | Coached by Truth
In this episode of Coached by Truth, Jim Kirkland talks about one of the most difficult challenges in leadership, ministry, and everyday Christian life: remaining faithful when you can't see the results.

Slow Down and Stop Rushing | Coached by Truth
In this episode of Coached by Truth, Jim Kirkland explores the importance of slowing down and what can happen when we allow hurry to control the pace of our lives, leadership, and ministry.

There is always another task to complete, another problem to solve, another meeting to attend, and another responsibility demanding our attention. But constantly rushing can keep us from thinking clearly, listening carefully, no...

The Ministry of Presence | Coached by Truth
In this episode of Coached by Truth, Jim Kirkland explores the ministry of presence and why sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer another person is simply our full attention. When someone is hurting, struggling, or trying to make sense of a difficult situation, our first instinct may be to offer advice, solve the problem, or find the right words. But effective ministry often begins by slowing down, listening well, and being fully present with the person God has placed before us. Th...

You Don't Have to Do Everything Yourself | Coached by Truth

Through practical Christian coaching and biblical principles, this episode will help you think about where you...
