Purposeful Pathway Christian Life Coaching Programs

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2

Many ask me about the Christian Life Coaching services of Purposeful Pathway. This post will share some of my own journey and also details about the programs.

Purposeful Pathway offers a variety of Transformational Programs…each of which incorporates the powerfu7-Step Live on P.U.R.P.O.S.E. Process™.

You will find the details of each Program on the bottom of this post.

First., though, I would like to share with you a little about my own journey.

I once struggled with a number of challenges such as an eating disorder, depression and anxiety. As I applied God’s Word to my life I experienced not only radical healing but also an awakening to the beauty of life. Suddenly I saw my life to have incredible meaning, purpose and significance. I began to arise each day with an excitement and a yearning to experience the beautiful places God will lead.

God’s Word is incredibly powerful, and it transforms our minds and lives when we abide in it. “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’ ” ~ John 8:31-32

God has set it upon my heart to help others in the process of knowing Him more deeply and experiencing the divine healing and inspiration that accompanies a purposeful life. I experienced radical transformation in my life, and I long for others to experience the same.

I invite to walk with me through some self-examining questions…

DO YOU:

Feel that there is “something more” to life?
Question if you are doing the right things?
Wonder if you are making a difference?
Dream of living a life inspired – but do not know how to?
Long to wake up energized and excited rather than “going through the motions” of life?

If any of these questions resonate with you, please know you are not alone. I too experienced these frustrations, and I want you to know that there IS a way to live with inspiration, purpose and abundance.

God calls each one of us to know Him, love Him and serve Him. Yet He has blessed each one of us with special gifts and talents. “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ~ Romans 12:4-5

Our own personal purposeful pathway, however, can be unclear at times…

 

Often we grow distracted from our divine direction by the stressors endured and the standards set in the world. I had grown both distracted and discouraged by demands and disappointments in life. I questioned why I could not find consistent joy and fulfillment. God revealed to me that I was not using my unique talents to serve Him. As I discovered and followed my own calling, I began to experience a life path of inspiration, purpose and abundance. Vocation literally means “calling”…do you know what is God calling you to do? Can you see a purposeful pathway on which to travel? Do you know your next step in this divine direction?.

So many of us go through life without a true sense of direction and inspiration. But we can – indeed we should! – live with inspiration, purpose and abundance.

 

QUESTIONS for REFLECTION:

Do you wake up excited and ready to embrace the day?

Do you have clear and beautiful visions for tomorrow and the years to come?

Do you have a sense of mission and of purpose?

Are you experiencing an intimate and invigorating relationship with God?

Are your relationships fulfilling and bountiful?

Are you healthy physically?

Are you enjoying mental, physical and spiritual wholeness and alignment?

Are your home and work environments inspiring?

Do you see opportunities surrounding you?

Are you truly pleased with the pathway of your life?

If you are not experiencing the abundant life that Jesus promised is available to us, you may long for improvement in all, some or simply one of the following areas:

– > Spiritual Growth

– > Personal Growth

– > Health / Wellness

– > Career /Vocation

– > Parenting

– > Business (Starting / Growing)

– > Relationships

– > Leadership

– > Organization

– > Motivation

Recognizing the gap between where you are and where you want to be is the first step to bridging that gap…

God created us for relationships: to be in relationship with Him and in relationship with others. It follows that God often allows us to grow when working with others. Christian Life Coaching not only helps an individual achieve specified goals but also equips the individual to coach themselves in the future. It is an exciting process to reach what we once believed to be unreachable.

If you here right now, I trust there is a reason. No goal is too small or too large for us to undertake. Whether you want to lose weight, discern and pursue a life calling or deepen your relationship with God, I look forward to working with you to take those steps.

Karen Schiltz of Massachusetts shares: “Caroline Gavin is not only a colleague of mine, but a close personal friend as well.

Caroline has all these qualities, and brings them to everything in her life. Her faith guides her on the path of life and provides the foundation for her vision and goals. Love and commitment help her to develop and achieve those goals. Caroline puts love into everything she does. She is a visionary who will help to lead those she’s connected to into the future, and they will bring with them love, mercy and compassion due to Caroline’s guidance.

She is priceless, and I am blessed to have her as both a sister and friend.”

Candice Hill of Alabama shares: “Having Caroline as a friend and sister in Christ, who undoubtedly has a heart for God and for people, is almost surreal. Her authenticity and love for Christ exudes throughout every facet of her life: As a Child of God, a loving mother, woman of God, Life Coach, Inspirational Author and Motivational Poet. She is a pearl of great price to the Body of Christ. Her commitment to excellence is inspiring but even more so is her love and commitment to Christ and her servant’s heart. The very essence of a meek and quiet spirit characterizes this precious woman of God who has made an indelible mark in my life and has become near and dear to my heart. The evidence is in the many lives she touches on a daily basis. She is truly a Kings’s Kid. Her purposeful pathway is definitely bright and prosperous because her steps are ordered of the Lord. If I had but only one word to say, I would describe my sister this way….PRICELESS!”

Bruce Fowler of Virginia shares: “Caroline Gavin is grace incarnate.

Dan Bitza of Missouri shares: “It was a blessing from God the day I met Caroline Gavin through her postings on Facebook. Since then my life has been enriched through my interaction with her. Her writing is inspiring and uplifting. Her interactive approach has built our relationship to a valued friendship. I look forward to hearing from her regularly. She is a special soul who has had a very positive impact on my life. She is a friend I can count on when I need a kind touch to ease my pain or anxiety.”

Keiti Pierce of Florida shares: “Caroline is one of the most even-tempered people I have ever met. She’s always willing to help and provides ways of viewing things that have perhaps gone unconsidered. She’s fantastic at what she does and I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to work with her.”

Maria Eugenia Akinde of Nigeria shares: I am so very much thankful to you, dear sister! I want you to know that since I began to walk along-side with you on my purposeful pathway, I started to understand and discern not only my mission on earth but also to be closer to God; this I owe all to you.

Thank you for everything.”

Alan Ray Jones of North Carolina shares: “Caroline is full of love and compassion and a true example of living a mature Godly life, she has inspired and encouraged me more than words could speak, I would encourage anyone today to take a purposeful pathway Journey with her and see that it will change your life! I cherish her as a friend in Christ and Blessed to be on her Journey.”

“Abstract Sunrays through the Clouds”

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

From behind the clouds,

Clouds dark as night,

Stream rays of hope,

Rays of Sonlight.

 

The warmth of the Son

Embraces my skin,

A fire of hope

Now burns within.

 

No cloud too heavy,

No trial too grim,

No night too dark,

No pathway too dim –

 

For my Savior,

As He Himself is Love;

He shines upon all

With Light from above.

 

O, Ray of hope,

Eternal Sonshine,

Fill us with Your Spirit,

Your light divine.

 

Remind us that night

Is as noonday to You;

All things You brighten,

All things You renew.

 

The winter of our souls

Becomes as summertime;

The cacophony of trials

Becomes music of rhyme.

 

The cross to a crown

You faithfully transform;

Icicles in the hearts

You melt and warm.

 

Praise You, Jesus,

Ray of hope, Ray of light;

Praise You, O Star,

Shining in the night.

 

Our lives, our hearts,

To You we raise;

You are our Symphony,

Our Song of praise.

 

No cloud too heavy,

No trial too grim,

No night too dark,

No pathway too dim –

 

For life and light

From You, Lord, begin.

Your fire of hope

Burns away pain and sin.

 

And behind the clouds,

Clouds dark as night,

We see You, O Jesus,

Our Ray of Sonlight.

Heart-Centered Business Academy Launch

Heart-Centered Business Academy Purposeful Pathway Christian Life Coaching

Heart-Centered Business Academy

Heart-Centered Business Academy Group Coaching Program by Purposeful Pathway Christian Life Coaching

Business Woman by photostock

A haven to thrive in both business and life, the Heart-Centered Business Academy will launch again February 7, 2013.

What members of the Academy share about the experience:

Ann Musico: I was privileged to participate in the 7-week Heart Centered Business Academy and I can honestly say it has been a time of great insight, productivity and progress for me and my business. As a Biblical health coach I understand the value of accountability, support and encouragement and I received all three. Caroline’s insightful, sensitive and motivating comments and support throughout the 7 weeks was absolutely invaluable. She made everyone feel completely at ease and provided a beautifully structured, yet relaxed and respectful environment in which to explore options and new directions. I especially loved the effortless and natural combining of faith and business. It sets this coaching program head and shoulders above others because it addresses the entire person, not just one aspect. It’s the type of program that would be beneficial to do periodically in order to assess progress and make targeted, constructive course corrections. I wholeheartedly recommend this coaching to anyone who is serious about rising to a higher level in life.

Carole Simone: This Heart Centered Business Academy has been a delightful journey in self-awareness. It brought to light the many areas of my life that need improvement and how to improve them, especially in my daily walk with my Lord Jesus. The goal setting strategies that Caroline presented were clear, defined and Christ-centered. Caroline’s caring, her insights and her encouraging words made the academy a growing, an enriching experience. And the group participation was very helpful. Everyone added such wonderful knowledge. I would definitely recommend this academy to anyone who has a desire to improve and succeed in all areas of life!

Mike Fenton: I was very impressed with the Academy. The concept of asking people to share their insights and testimonials proved to be very beneficial; which in turn left me many a night reflecting on what had been said. Those reflections not only provided me with new insights and ideas of which I could incorporate into my business but my life as well.

Lisa Graham: I can’t thank you enough for offering the Heart Centered Business Academy. I loved it! The structure, length, organization, ability to share and, of course, the content were all outstanding. Walking though each step with time for reflection and a specific focus were a huge help. It allowed me time to really focus while keeping me motivated! I also really enjoyed how everyone could share their successes, challenges and other insights. It brought out great points for all of us plus gave us extra encouragement when needed. I appreciate your work and commitment to us!! You rock!

Cindy Hirch: In the time I have known Caroline she has soared to new heights. It has been incredible to watch her growth. She has an ability to connect and relate to people in a way that transcends language barriers and cultures. Caroline’s poetry is beautiful. She has an incredible gift to write and her work truly inspires the reader in what she shares. In group coaching she offers practical solutions and applications for business. Even if you are not looking to own or grow your own business, these same principles can be applied to your personal life. They are presented and woven with a deep spiritual and Godly approach. She has been blessed with many gifts that allow her to serve others well. Without reservation I would highly recommend Caroline’s services.

Continue reading to learn more about the Academy:

Hand in hand, we will walk through the steps of

* clarifying your business goals

* creating and implementing your business plan

* strategizing to overcome obstacles on the heart-centered business path

A question I receive often about the Academy is whether or not one must have a heart-centered business to join. The answer is “no.” Although the Academy was designed with heart-centered entrepreneurs in mind, the 7-step journey we take is powerful when applied to life goals. In our last session, those who did not have heart-centered businesses enjoyed and benefited from the Academy just as much as those who did.

Why Group Coaching?

1. Affordability: Enjoy the tremendous benefits of coaching at an attractive and affordable price.

2. Community: Enjoy the camaraderie of the group; connect with others who are in the same or similar positions as you. You will discover that the Heart-Centered Business Academy is a family.

3. Networking: Benefit from networking with other business owners.

4. Accountability: Appreciate both the high level of accountability and the accompanying high results that stem from working in a group setting.

5. Benefit from Breadth of Knowledge: Marvel the treasure trove of collective wisdom and experiences.

6. Bless Others: Share your own pearls of wisdom and experiences to bless others in their journeys.

7. Comfort: Relax in a comfortable setting; group coaching provides an atmosphere that is less intensive than one-on-one coaching.

8. Increased Joy: Look forward to the growth and to the fun you will experience. Heart-Centered Business Academy will not only propel your business but also heighten the joy in your journey.

9. Benefit from a Bible-Based Structure: Embrace God’s blessings by seeking counsel and guidance from many. “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” (Proverbs 15:22)

Experience growth from these group coaching calls every Thursday evening from February 7th through March 21st. In addition to the seven one-hour calls, enjoy the Heart-Centered Business Academy workbook, exercises and accountability checks. Remember, you do not need a heart-centered business to join; you need only to bring your heart and your heart-centered goals.

Enjoy the journey of a lifetime with an investment of only $127.

 

 




 

 

I look forward to seeing you on this transformational journey!

~*~

I remember looking at “those other people” who seemed to have it all in life thinking SOMEDAY, I will have that too. Whether it be in my health, finances, family, relationships, spiritual walk, or personal growth, I expected success as it only seemed “fair.”

Well guess what? Success never FOUND me!

This didn’t seem very “fair to me” …after all, I WANTED success, wasn’t that enough? I was a “good person”, weren’t good things suppose come to good people?

Have you ever struggled in an area in your life and thought the same? (HA! If so, you and I would connect very well it sounds.)

I want to share with you the simple key to success that I learned after two pivotal points in my life when I:

  1. Woke up one day” to find myself a couch potato mom who couldn’t run 2 blocks. (I would go on to become an Ironman Triathlete.)
  2. “Woke up one day” to find my family drowning in debt and on the brink of losing everything. (My family would go on to pay off over $150,000 worth of debt and pay CASH for over $30,000 worth of medical in 3 years.)

After having had the opportunity to go through these transformational journeys in life, I found that success doesn’t need to be complicated. In addition, ANYONE can achieve great things in their life. How?

By TAKING INTENTIONAL ACTION.

What happens when you apply intentional action into striving for your goals? YOU will find success.

The cool thing is that most people find when they have success in one area of life through taking intentional action, it is easier to transform other areas in their life including:

  • finances
  • health
  • spiritual walk
  • personal growth
  • career

While I can’t say that taking intentional action is always, easy, I will tell you that the grey area of always wanting, wishing and dreaming for things to be better in your life is draining. Using your energies  instead to focus in on incremental action steps will help you get you out of the grey area and into achieving great things. (For more information on how to implement intentional action in your life, please download our free SMARTIE Goals worksheet that will help guide you along in your journey.)

Remember, success will NEVER find you (even if you are a “good person”)….YOU need to take action to find success through intentional action.

Question: What intentional action steps can you take to improve one area of your life starting today?

“Tree with Light” by Dan

We approach now a New Year, a time of new beginnings.

Excitement and anticipation fill the air,

as resolutions and intentions are set everywhere.

Taking time to reflect upon the last year

and plan for the new year is a powerful practice.

I encourage you to write goals in all areas of life

and then break those goals into action steps with clear deadlines.

Ensure that your goals meet the “SMART” specifications:

Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timed.

Doing so will bear great fruit,

as stretching one’s self with goals aligned to God’s Will

yields both exhilarating growth and great glory to God.

~*~

I pray that you look most deeply at the spiritual aspect of your goals.

Areas such as family, career, finances and health are certainly important;

yet of highest import is the relationship with the Creator,

for spiritual fruit is eternal.

Contemplate deeply how you can grow

in your intimacy with the LORD and in your service to Him.

~*~

Will it be through longer and more focused prayer time?

More structure in Bible study?

More giving of one’s self and one’s resources?

Greater attentiveness to the Presence of God moment to moment?

Commitment to full surrender to God in all areas?

A combination of these and other goals?

And how will you measure the fulfillment of these goals?

How will you break down the goals and time the action steps?

How will you hold yourself accountable?

~*~

These are just some questions to consider as you write your spiritual goals.

Truly our Father makes all things new.

He renews faith.

He restores hearts.

He transforms sorrow to joy.

He makes a crown of the cross.

He creates from death…New Life.

~*~

“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’
Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’
He said to me: ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End.
To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost
from the spring of the water of life.
He who overcomes will inherit all this,
and I will be his God and he will be my son.’ “
(Revelation 21:5-7)

~*~

Entering a New Year, then, we celebrate the New Life

God gives through the redemptive Sacrifice of Christ Jesus.

I am deeply grateful for you,

and I am happy to celebrate divine renewal and rejuvenation with you.

~*~

As always, if you would like help along your journey,

I invite you to email me (caroline@purposefulpathway.com) for a Free Christian Life Coaching Consultation.

It would be an honor for me to walk alongside you

for even part of your journey!

Allow the application of the 7-Step Live-on-P.U.R.P.O.S.E. Process to transform your life by God’s grace and power.

~*~

God bless you, and I pray divine peace, love and joy fill your heart

and your days in 2013…and always!

May the Lord be with you as you are preparing for a New Year!

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelation 21:5

(Send as an Inspirational Christian New Years eCard)

Snowflakes falling,

Wide fields of white,

A wintry world,

Behold the sight:

~*~

Fields once green

Now covered with snow,

Blankets of white

Where flowers did grow.

~*~

Dark are the days,

Gray are the skies,

Barren are the trees

Before my eyes.

~*~

A year is ending,

A new year awaits,

I think of You, Jesus,

Behind Heavenly gates.

~*~

Surely all things

You will make new:

The fields, the flowers,

The barren trees too.

~*~

My life also

You renew with love,

While You prepare treasures

In Heaven above.

~*~

Rejoice, then, my heart,

When snowy blankets I see;

Long days of Sonshine

Are mine in eternity.

~*~

Dark days cannot sadden,

Nor cold bring sorrow,

For endless Son-filled days

Await tomorrow.

~*~

In the year ahead

May I be more like You;

Take my heart, my mind,

My entire life too.

~*~

Sweet renewal I find

When all to You I give;

So for You, my Jesus,

I choose to live.

~*~

In my heart

Melt the blankets of snow;

Allow the flame of love

In my heart to grow.

~*~

Plant flowers of virtue,

Trees of grace too;

Shine in my soul

With light pure and true.

~*~

And as snowflakes falling,

Make my soul white;

You make all things new

In Your perfect Sonlight.

Lord Jesus, I pray

Make me more like You;

Inspire my thoughts,

Shape all I do.

 

Make my heart beat

With Your Holy Spirit

On the highest mountain,

In the lowest valley,

Your radiant face

Always may I see.

 

Take my hands, Lord,

Your sacred work complete;

Upon Your pathway

Guide always my feet.

 

Take my lips,

Place on them Your song;

Take my heart too,

For with You I belong.

 

My eyes are Yours,

May they gleam with Your light;

May I see as You do,

Lord, take my sight.

 

My ears, they are Yours,

To hear only Your voice;

In the sound of Your call,

My spirit does rejoice.

 

My thoughts are Yours,

Jesus, fill my mind;

Make me to think on all

Good, pure and kind.

 

My spirit, Lord,

I give completely to You;

Do with me as You wish,

My spirit renew.

 

My life, my very life,

Is Yours to keep;

You are life itself

With sweet treasures deep.

 

Yea, Lord, take me,

Like You may I be;

I am Yours completely,

For all eternity.

 

Nothing for myself

Do I long anymore;

I live for You, my Jesus,

 It is You I adore.

 

And so I pray

Make me more like You;

You are the inspiration

For all I am and do.

“Light Path” by dan

Path of Life

“You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” Psalm 16:11

 (Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard!)

Lord, I call unto You,

Hear my humble prayer;

Lord, I search for You,

Make my way clear.

 

At times it seems

Dim is the path before me;

At times it seems

It is too difficult to see.

 

Yet in those moments

I feel Your hand reach;

The perfection of Your way

To me You teach.

 

“Daughter, I am here,

You need not worry or cry;

Daughter, have faith,

Look up, for it is I.”

 

“I am here with you,

I will show you the way;

Come here into My arms,

Listen to all I say.”

 

“The path of life

For you, My child, I pave;

I give everything I have

To love and to save.”

 

“So come nigh unto Me,

I promise to carry you;

Eternal pleasures I give

With joy rich and true.”

 

In saying these words,

Your eyes brilliantly shine;

Oh, how I feel peace

In Your presence divine.

 

Yes, Lord, I give all to You.

How can I give any less?

You give Your all to me,

Your Lordship I confess.

 

Take my hand, Master,

Lead me upon Your way;

I follow wherever You go,

Every moment, every day.

 

Should the tears stream,

Should I stumble and fall,

I will look up to You,

Your Name I will call.

 

Love bursts from my heart,

I praise You in adoration;

My life I live for You,

You are my celebration.

 

For You are my Light,

You make my way clear;

The path of life I know,

For You, my Jesus, are here.
