Coached by Jesus: 31 Life-Changing Questions Asked by the Master

by Alan Nelson

Most of us these days are familiar with the terms of executive coaching and life coach. Most of these individuals are not trained as therapists, although talking about life and organizational decisions can be therapeutic. Yet the art of coaching is not new. It's been around for millennia. Some of the greatest teachers, including Socrates, Aristotle, and Jesus, used the power of questions. What if the questions Jesus asked were designed to challenge our faith and our way of thinking, living, and leading?

Coached by Jesus delves into 31 powerful questions posed by Jesus, inviting readers to spend a month on a daily journey of reflection and growth. Each brief, reader-friendly chapter unpacks one of His powerful questions similar to contemporary executive, Socratic coaching, where strategic question-asking is key to unlocking fresh perspectives and inspiring new action.

Perfect for a month-long devotional or small group study, Coached by Jesus combines deep wisdom with practical insight. Every short chapter concludes with follow-up questions for journaling, making it easy for readers to personalize their reflections and apply these truths to their personal and professional lives. Whether you're a leader, a learner, or someone seeking deeper alignment with His teachings, these daily prompts will help you gain clarity, renew purpose, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

So grab a coffee or tea, find a quiet place to sit and reflect, and perhaps even bring a pen and journal. You'll want to respond to the short, rich coaching sessions of this book. Don't rush. Turn off your phone (unless you're using it to read or listen to this book), and take a leisurely stroll through some of the most powerful questions Jesus asked humanity. You will be changed.
