Roy Chan Associate Professor of Practical Theology (Life Coaching, Psychology and Recreational Ministry) Life coaching is a relatively new term. It is a new skill that is sought after in modern management, training, counseling, education and other fields. The Christian community has also begun to promote the education of Christian life coaches. Is it appropriate to use a skill developed in the business world in Christian management, training and counseling?

Leung Yiu-ming (M.Div.) Yiu-ming, Si-en and their son recounted their three years of full-time theological training with joy and emotion. They were "both joyful and emotional". Joy, because entering the seminary was out of God's grace, it was their response to God's call, and it was a starting point for their full-time preaching service.
