Mining for Gold: Developing Kingdom Leaders through Coaching

by Tom Camacho

Overview

Godly thriving leaders are precious and valuable, but developing those leaders is not easy. Many leaders feel stuck, tired and frustrated in their growth and calling. This can change. In Mining for Gold, pastor and master-coach, Tom Camacho, offers a fresh perspective on how to draw out the best in ourselves and in those around us. Cutting through the complexity and challenges of leadership development, he gives us practical and effective tools to help leaders grow personally and develop those around them. Coaching, through the power of the Holy Spirit, provides the clarity and momentum we need to grow. When we get clarity, everything changes. Coaching helps us better understand our identity in Christ, our God-given wiring, and how we naturally bear the most fruit. There is gold in God’s people, waiting to be discovered. Let’s learn to draw out that treasure and help others flourish in their life and leadership.

Tom and I have gotten to know each other in a group of churches called the Vineyard. In our tribe, we have a saying, "Everyone gets to play." In Tom’s book, Mining for Gold, that phrase comes to life as he helps us empower every person to come alive and get in the game of kingdom ministry. There is treasure in every person who gathers in our churches every week. This book is a great tool to help us discover that treasure and develop leaders who come alive and thrive.

I can barely think of a more critical skill for this current mileu of ministry, than coaching. As accessible as it is gracious, Tom gives us a practical path to empowerment, taking us into the deepest possible waters of true servant leadership. I am so grateful for this book.

From the Publisher

I love this book. It will definitely light some fires and save some lives that might otherwise be broken on the altars of ministry. Tom gets it. Most of God’s investment in those we coach is buried under the dirt of everyday living.
The book is full of interesting stories of people not fully understanding the value of what’s in front of them. These stories parallel my own experience both as an young man displaying little potential and later as a coach sometimes overlooking the gold in the life of another.
The book is a great coaching manual, and his argument for a “sweet spot” is worth the price. It’s also a good, fun, read. You’ll love it.

Coaching the gold can change our world.
