Vision To Done: Christian Life Coaching Using My T.O.W.E.R. Fundamentals

life coaching May 02, 2019

Christian Life Coaching is the calm table where you sit down first, open the Scriptures, and build with wisdom; my exclusive T.O.W.E.R. Framework gives that wisdom a blueprint—Target the Aim, Outline Resources, Write Milestones, Establish Boundaries, and Review and Rejoice—so holy desire becomes dated steps and finished work under God’s hand; like the Master’s counsel, “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost…” (Luke 14:28, KJV), T.O.W.E.R. helps you steward time, talent, training, treasure, and team with quiet courage, turning “problems” into stewardship and “obstacles” into the next faithful step, until your plans ring true, your pace is peaceful, and your life bears fruit that lasts.

There is a holy steadiness to real progress. Godly goals are not hurried wishes; they are prayerful blueprints. The Lord Jesus invites us to sit down, to count, to plan, and then to rise and build with faithful hands. Planning is not disbelief. Planning is wisdom under the Lord’s plumb line.

“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”Proverbs 16:3, KJV
“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”Habakkuk 2:2, KJV

When Christian women plan with Scripture in one hand and a pencil in the other, their hearts grow courageous. Hope takes on feet. The fog of overwhelm gives way to the clear path of stewardship.

 

Counting the Cost Is Worship

The world chases outcomes; disciples steward assignments. A “problem” speaks of weight without meaning; stewardship speaks of trust and purpose. As daughters of the King, we do not rush the work. We reverence it. We ask, “Lord, what hast Thou entrusted to me in this season?” Then we build in order, with peace.

Word Upgrade (Passive & Draining → Active & Responsible)

  • I have toI choose to, I am responsible to, I get to

  • I shouldI intend to, It would be wise to, I plan to

  • I need toI will, I am scheduling time to

 

T.O.W.E.R. Framework

A simple, Scriptural framework to move from vision to finished work.

T — Target the Aim

Name one clear, kingdom-aligned goal.

  • Scripture: “Write the vision, and make it plain…” (Habakkuk 2:2, KJV)

  • Practice: Replace vague hopes with a measurable target.

    • Vague: “Grow my business.”

    • Clear: “Enroll six new clients in the next 90 days through weekly outreach and two webinars.”

Coaching Questions

  • What single outcome would most bless your family, your clients, and your church in the next 12 weeks?

  • How will you know that it is complete?

O — Outline Resources

List what this will require: time, talent, training, treasure, and team.

  • Scripture: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God…” (James 1:5, KJV)

  • Practice: Estimate hours, budget, tools, and people. Decide where you need mentorship or training.

Coaching Questions

  • What skill must you strengthen to honor this assignment?

  • Who will pray for you and hold you accountable?

W — Write Milestones

Break the goal into weekly, visible steps.

  • Scripture: “Let all things be done decently and in order.” (1 Corinthians 14:40, KJV)

  • Practice: Create 4–8 milestones. Give each a due date and a deliverable. Place them on the calendar.

Example

  • Week 1: Define offer and pricing; draft landing page.

  • Week 2: Record 2 teaching videos; schedule emails.

  • Week 3: Host webinar; hold six discovery calls.

  • Week 4: Onboard new clients; begin fulfillment.

E — Establish Boundaries

Protect the margin and focus so you can finish.

  • Scripture: “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time…” (Ephesians 5:15–16, KJV)

  • Practice: Say “no” to lesser goods in service of the assignment. Block work sessions. Schedule rest.

Boundary Starters

  • Quiet hours for deep work.

  • Two social media windows per day, then log off.

  • Sabbath rhythms: worship, rest, and renewal.

R — Review and Rejoice

Measure, adjust, and give thanks.

  • Scripture: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord…” (Colossians 3:23, KJV)

  • Practice: Each week, evaluate what moved, what stalled, and why. Adjust the plan. Celebrate small wins.

Coaching Questions

  • What one adjustment would make next week run more smoothly?

  • What will you thank the Lord for today?

 

Biblical Case Study: Nehemiah — Rebuilding What Was Broken

Text: “So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.”Nehemiah 6:15, KJV
Situation: Jerusalem’s walls lay in ruins; enemies opposed; the people were discouraged.
Holy Pattern: Nehemiah prayed, quietly surveyed the damage by night, obtained the necessary letters and timber, and organized the families by sections of the wall (Nehemiah 2:12–18; 3; 4:9, KJV).

T.O.W.E.R. Mapping

  • T — Target the Aim: Rebuild Jerusalem’s wall for God’s glory and the people’s safety (Nehemiah 2:17).

  • O — Outline Resources: King’s permission, timber, workers, tools, watchmen (Nehemiah 2:7–8; 4:9).

  • W — Write Milestones: Assign gates and sections to clans; work with a trowel in one hand and a weapon in the other (Nehemiah 3; 4:17).

  • E — Establish Boundaries: Set a watch day and night; refuse distractions and mockery (Nehemiah 4:9; 6:3).

  • R — Review and Rejoice: Wall finished in 52 days; nations “perceived that this work was wrought of our God” (Nehemiah 6:15–16, KJV).

Coaching Insight: Prayerful inspection, clear assignments, and a defended focus turn ruins into restoration. What looks like a “problem” becomes a stewardship under God.

 

Counting the Cost Checklist

Time

  • Where will this event be listed on the calendar? Which hours will you defend?

Talent & Training

  • What skill must be sharpened? What book, course, or mentor will be most helpful?

Treasure

  • What budget or tools are required? What can be deferred?

Team

  • Who will pray, advise, or assist? Who needs clear expectations?

Risk & Resilience

  • What obstacles may arise? What will be your next step to solve each?

Margin

  • Where will you rest, refill, and reconnect with God and family?

 

Seven-Day Builder Sprint

  • Day 1: Pray, then write your Target and the first three milestones.

  • Day 2: Block calendar time; list resources; ask for prayer.

  • Day 3: Complete Milestone 1.

  • Day 4: Complete Milestone 2.

  • Day 5: Protect boundaries; remove one distraction.

  • Day 6: Complete Milestone 3; prepare next week’s steps.

  • Day 7: Rest, review, and rejoice.

 

Common Word Upgrades While You Build

Gentle Replacements

  • nevernot yet, rarely, until now

  • cannot / can’tI do not yet know how to…, I am learning to…, I need support to…

  • alwaysoften, frequently, in many cases

  • impossibledifficult, requires time and training, will take wise counsel

  • shouldI choose to, I intend to, it would be wise to

  • must / have toI am committed to, I am responsible to, I get to

  • but (that cancels hope) → and, while, even as

  • failurelesson, attempt, practice round

  • problemchallenge, stewardship, assignment for growth

Sample Upgrades

  • “I never get this right” → “I do not get this right yet; I am learning.”

  • “I cannot forgive” → “Forgiveness is difficult right now; Lord, teach me to forgive.”

  • “This is impossible” → “This is difficult and will require time, help, and prayer.”

Scripture Anchors (KJV)

  • “With God all things are possible.”Matthew 19:26

  • “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt.”Colossians 4:6

  • “If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”James 4:15

 

Journaling Prompts

  1. What tower am I building with God this quarter, and why does it matter?

  2. What costs must I count honestly (time, training, money, energy), and what boundaries will protect them?

  3. Where have I seen the Lord’s faithfulness in past assignments, and how will I remember it this week?
