My experience with Gospel Coaching has been life-changing and heart-transforming. What stands out is truly seeing myself as God’s beloved daughter, with whom He is well pleased. I did not believe He was well pleased with me when faced with my sins, failures, and shame. Gospel coaching opened my eyes and heart to what Jesus did on my behalf—that in Him I am loved, forgiven, and righteous in His sight. This shifted from head knowledge to heartfelt understanding. The change in my identity in Christ has freed me from seeking approval and validation from others.
