Agents of Change
In this workshop, you will discuss what it means to be an agent of change, but in this assignment, we’ll look at what Scripture says about transformation and your role in supporting change.
When I think about being or becoming an agent of change, I think about what is referred to as the “One Another Concepts” in the Bible. You will find verses like these, for example, throughout Scripture:
· “ Accept one another , then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God” (Romans 15:7).
· “ Be kind and compassionate to one another , forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
· “A new command I give you: Love one another . As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34).
· “ Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves ” (Romans 12:10).
· “ Live in harmony with one another . Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited” (Romans 12:16).
Can you imagine what life, what our culture and world would be like if we could consistently practice these One Another Concepts as agents of change in our relationships with family members, work colleagues, and even in our coaching practices?
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
· Share your thoughts on biblical concepts related to becoming agents of change.
· Explore ways in which practicing One Another Concepts as a life coach can help others.
Background Information
Change, as you have most likely experienced, does not come easily. Facilitating change in others can be even more challenging. In my own experience, there have been points in life where I felt significant transformation; when I became a Christian, for example, my entire worldview and perspective shifted. But I quickly realized that some of my habits, personality quirks, and negative emotions weren’t changing as much as I had hoped.
I found, however, that by applying biblical principles like the One Another Concepts (which are in many cases also proven to be effective by positive psychology research), I have seen remarkable change over time in my own life and in those I have worked with in counseling and coaching situations.
Whether my clients were attempting to deepen their connections with others, discover and follow through on their vocational passions, or even set a simple goal of stepping outside their homes after years of agoraphobic isolation, I was witness to incredible transformation over time and with focused effort.
I have often said that if I could compress the years it took to realize change in my life, or in the lives others I work with, into a single moment, it would seem like a miracle took place. We can see overnight success, but it will likely take ten years.
