In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

34. Navigating Transition 10:03

10:03

Navigating Transition Transitions are a staple of life experience. Some transitions are more significant in terms of their impact, moving us from one season into a different one. How we navigate these transitions makes the difference in what we experience as we move through them into what is next. In this episode, I briefly share a current transition I am facing and how I have chosen to navigate through it. I believe being thoughtful, intentional, and engaging our hearts with God enables us to move through difficult life changes with greater grace and receive from the Lord all he is doing in us and for us through the life changes that are happening.

6:38

The Kingdom of Heaven and Human Political Power A tension all followers of Jesus have to grapple with is how to be in this world but not of it. Our citizenship is in heaven, but we also find ourselves citizens of earthly nations. The Kingdom of God is not established on earth through political means. However, God has established human authority and governments for a purpose. In this episode, I briefly share where I have landed in regard to navigating my allegiance to God and his Kingdom while being a responsible member of an earthly nation.

32. One Important Reason Why This Matters 6:49

6:49

One Important Reason Why This Life Matters Most of us believe that our life matters enough to keep living it. Even if our quality of life is challenged in significant ways there is this, often unconscious, deeply embedded belief that our life matters and should continue to be lived. One evidence of this are the measures we take on a daily basis to sustain our existence. That is why it is so tragic when someone loses hope to the point of taking their life. But why is our life important? Why does our life matter? That is a deep philisophical question and there are many different ways that question could be answered. In this episode I offer up one answer that comes directly from my worldview that believes in a life to come. The way I choose to live my life now in relation to God can hold promise for both this life and the life to come.

The Ultimate Aim of Christian Ministry There are a few key places in Scripture we can turn to discover the primary work Christ’s church is called to, not the least of which is Christ’s commission to his disciples found in Matthew 28:18-20. But what is the ultimate outcome this task is designed to accomplish in the lives of people. In this episode I briefly share a response to this question along with some thoughts as to the structure in which this work finds its best expression.

Coaching and Building People in Christ One’s spiritual growth process in Christ has been described as a uniquely tailored journey. Granted, there are common means God uses to form and develop his children, but how those means find application and the experiences those means produce are different for each individual. In this episode, I briefly share how coaching facilitates a more tailored approach to spiritual growth taking into consideration one’s unique history, experiences, and personality. In this episode, I reference Kingdom Coaching Institute’s coach training program. You can check out our Certified Transformational Coach program here .

What Makes a Good Goal? We all carry dreams and desires in our hearts. Everything we have accomplished has started as an idea, desire, or dream. But not all desires or dreams become realized. What is the difference between the desires and dreams we realize and those we don’t? One factor is the presence of a clear goal. In this episode, I share two characteristics of a good goal. Good goals are important to us (relevant) and within our control (attainable).

Coaching Requires New Thinking The predominant mode of communication in American culture is telling. Moving from the telling approach to the pulling-out approach requires new thinking. In this episode, I list eight shifts in thinking needed to move from telling to a coach approach to conversations. I have pulled these shifts from the book Faith Coaching by authors Chad Hall, Bill Copper, and Kathryn McElveen.

Coaching - An Intentional, Relational Conversation In this episode I continue with the theme of coaching. Coaching is a unique facilitative conversation carried out within the context of a trusting relationship. As such, a coaching conversation has a particular look and flow captured in what is called a conversational model. I walk the listener briefly through the different stages of a coaching conversation designed to have the person who is being coached think through a topic deeply concluding with a decision of action.

26. Discovery vs Delivery Approach to Learning 6:09

9 weeks ago6:09

6:09

In this episode I briefly touch on two different pathways to learning. One is a delivery approach and the other is a discovery approach. Both approaches have their place and merit. But when it comes to learning that results in a higher retention rate and a deeper level of impact in the individual, that learning typically happens through a discovery approach. Coaching, as a professional practice in working with individuals and groups, embodies the discovery pathway. Herein lies one of the reasons for its effectiveness in building people vs just solving immediate problems.

25. The Value of Coaching 8:56

8:56

The Value of Coaching It has been said that people do not hire a coach for coaching, but rather for the results coaching can provide. In this week’s episode I address what some of those results are. Coaching is uniquely designed to address and provide solutions to the common obstacles people encounter when attempting to move forward in positive ways in their life. Through clarity, awareness, empowerment, accountability, goal achievement, mindset shifts, and long-term change, coaching helps position individuals for growth both personally and professionally.

What is Coaching? Coaching is a profession that has really been growing in popularity over the past two decades. Recently I heard that coaching is among the fastest growing professions today. Since I have referred to my coaching in past episodes I thought I would take a few episodes to talk about what coaching is and the value it can bring to those experiencing it and to those who get trained in it. I begin in this episode defining what coaching is and in what way(s) it is distinguished from other helping approaches.

A Biblical Perspective on Suffering and Loss Another tension of living in the Kingdom of God in this present life is between trouble and triumph. In this episode I do a brief dive into providing a Biblical perspective on suffering and loss drawing the connection between temporary suffering and the eternal glory it is designed to work in our life as those following Christ. By no means do I think this to be an exhaustive look at the subject but one that is shedding some light on the topic.

22. Living in the Tension of Grace and Effort 11:24

11:24

The Bible reveals a number of paradoxes, seemingly contradicting realities, that make up life in God’s Kingdom. One of those paradoxes is between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility, or, as the title to this episode reads, between grace and effort. In this episode I briefly explore the tension between these two realities and how embracing the tension is actually the place we are to live our life from.

8:44

The Distinguishing Marks of God’s Presence For followers of Jesus there is to be a differentness about our lives that distinguishes us from those who are not. This distinction is not for creating an us vs them mentality but as evidence of God’s abiding presence in the lives of his children. Drawing from the life of Moses and the children of Israel, I identify three marks of God’s presence that are to distinguish those who have chosen to follow Jesus and are indwelt by the Spirit of God.
