R12 Coach

Discipleship for Coaches Based on Romans 12

R12Coach.com is an online companion to the r12 Coach printed study guide and DVD available for purchase. It includes more than 30 additional teaching videos from Living on the Edge Ministries teacher and former athlete/coach Chip Ingram.

FCA designed r12 Coach as a guided pathway from a coach’s perspective based on Romans chapter 12. In Romans 12 the Apostle Paul begins outlining the personal and practical application of the doctrine he lays out in Romans chapters 1-8. Paul describes the Christian life in five categories: relationship with God, relationship with the world, relationship with ourselves, relationship with others, and relationship with enemies. Each of these categories has a corresponding “S”, or response, that the Bible says is a sign of a mature and equipped follower of Jesus Christ. In the r12 online discipleship experience we look at each of these responses.
