Ministry contexts are complex, emotionally charged environments that demand a high level of competency and emotional maturity from pastoral leaders. Reaching one’s full potential as a vocational minister is rarely straightforward—it requires thoughtful assessment, skilled coaching, and ongoing accountability. Every minister can benefit from a trusted coach—someone who brings wisdom, experience, and a deep commitment to helping them live fully into God’s call. The right coach can make the difference between simply surviving and truly thriving in ministry. In addition to individual coaching, small groups of 4–6 clergy can participate in a nine-month experience called a Pastoral Intelligence Cohort (PI Cohort). Using Dr. Maurice Graham’s recent book, Pastoral Intelligence: Why Your Emotional Health is the Key to Your Church’s Health (c. 2024), participants meet monthly to grow in emotional awareness and integrate their insights into real ministry practice. For more information about PI Cohorts or to register for a future group, please complete the form found on the PI Cohort page. To schedule an individual coaching session, call 804-327-0707 or complete this form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31db1222108e7b92b8626e/1602001234075-XDXCMU4ZLRLUX760K3PS/Steve%2B%2526%2BBrett.jpg Coaching - Call and Identity Coaching (CIC) Based on twenty plus years of research and practice, Call and Identity Coaching™ (CIC) was developed by Dr. Maurice Graham and informed by his theory of Pastoral Intelligence (PI). Grounded in scripture, PI integrates theology, spirituality and emotional intelligence theory with the goal of strengthening the minister’s ministry effectiveness. (Click here for more information on PI.) Call and Identity Coaching (CIC) empowers ministers to gain clarity in their calling (purpose), increase spiritual growth and self-awareness, while strengthening pastoral leadership skills. A Shepherd’s Staff coach will help you develop a customized life and ministry plan that will enhance your effectiveness and satisfaction in ministry. https://www.shepherd-staff.org/counseling daily 0.75 2025-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31db1222108e7b92b8626e/1598636024679-4574IZXKTIZ6VBTA672L/counseling+blue+square+2.png Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31db1222108e7b92b8626e/6236cc39-0e90-4813-81f0-a66ca3a22026/Stacked-stones.jpg Counseling - The Cost of Counseling The cost for a 50-minute counseling session is discussed prior to the first meeting and subsequent sessions are scheduled according to client needs.
