The Ultimate Coach - Triangle
Everyone can recognize that this is a triangle. The three corners of the triangle represent Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This diagram is about relationships. These same corner also represent our relationships with each other. At the top of the triangle is God, bottom right is the coach and bottom left is the player.
You can replace the word “coach” with teacher, or pastor, or mother or father, and “player” with student or church member, or son or daughter. The triangle 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 in a Godly way.
We call this The Ultimate Coach. In the Ultimate Coach triangle, every line is straight. The straight lines represents healthy whole relationship between two 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 below. A more correct view of our relationships is a curved line containing mountains and valleys because we come in with prejudice, pre-judging, and bias, and agendas, and lack of love and compassion.
Questions to Ponder:
How do we move from curved and limited communication impeding our relationships to straight lines of communication and healthy whole relationships?
How can a coach be a wonderful influence on a player with all of this stuff limiting our communication?
