The triangle, the Ultimate Coach diagram, is about all of your relationships where you hold influence and authority. FC Grace believes that every relationship you have is an opportunity to influence, and influence in a Godly way.
God sees everyone the same. There is no one above or below others. No one has an advantage over someone else. We are all his creation, and he loves each of us in spite of how we may be walking. Therefore, each of us has the same sun shining and the same rain falling on us as others. Matthew 5:45 says, “For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.” We each have unique gifts and blends of gifts, but that does not make one superior over another.
You see this straight line line between the coach and player? This represents perfection. It represents a relationship between 2 people. When I have a straight-line relationship with someone, I can see everything about them, I can trust them, I have intimacy, I have loyalty and compassion and understanding. But this is not reality, we are not perfect. We do not have perfect relationships. In fact, our relationship looks more like this second diagram. A more correct view our relationships is a curved line containing mountains and valleys. Why do we have mountains and valleys? Because we come in with prejudice, pre-judging, and bias, and agendas, and lack of love and compassion. Our line has mountains and valleys. There are other issues that come in. We have anger, frustrations, limitations. We all come into relationship with our stuff. So how is it possible that we can have a trusting relationship when we are like this?

Pembetatu, mchoro wa Ultimate Coach, ni kuhusu mahusiano yako yote ambapo una ushawishi na mamlaka. FC Grace inaamini kwamba kila uhusiano ulio nao ni fursa ya kushawishi, na kushawishi kwa njia ya Kiungu.
Mungu anaona kila mtu sawa. Hakuna aliye juu au chini ya wengine. Hakuna aliye na faida juu ya mtu mwingine. Sisi sote ni viumbe vyake, naye anampenda kila mmoja wetu licha ya jinsi tunavyotembea. Kwa hivyo, kila mmoja wetu ana jua sawa na mvua sawa na wengine. Mathayo 5:45 inasema, “Kwa maana yeye huwapa mwanga wa jua wake waovu na wema, naye huwanyeshea mvua wenye haki na wasio haki vile vile. Kila mmoja wetu ana karama za kipekee na michanganyiko ya karama, lakini hiyo haifanyi mmoja kuwa bora zaidi ya mwingine.
Unaona mstari huu ulionyooka kati ya kocha na mchezaji? Hii inawakilisha ukamilifu. Inawakilisha uhusiano kati ya watu 2. Ninapokuwa na uhusiano wa moja kwa moja na mtu, ninaweza kuona kila kitu kuhusu yeye, ninaweza kumwamini, nina urafiki, nina uaminifu na huruma na uelewa. Lakini hii sio ukweli, sisi sio wakamilifu. Hatuna mahusiano kamili. Kwa kweli, uhusiano wetu unaonekana zaidi kama mchoro huu wa pili. Mtazamo sahihi zaidi mahusiano yetu ni mstari uliopinda unaojumuisha milima na mabonde. Kwa nini tuna milima na mabonde? Kwa sababu tunaingia kwa chuki, kuhukumu kabla, na upendeleo, na ajenda, na ukosefu wa upendo na huruma. Mstari wetu una milima na mabonde. Kuna maswala mengine yanayokuja. Tuna hasira, kufadhaika, mapungufu. Sisi sote tunaingia kwenye uhusiano na vitu vyetu. Kwa hiyo inawezekanaje kwamba tuwe na uhusiano wa kuaminiana wakati tuko hivi?
