\"Coaches<\/a><\/p>\n

As Immanuel Coaches, our role is like the chaperone on a date.\u00a0 If you picture a car, Jesus is the driver, the Receiver is the passenger and the Coach is in the back seat.\u00a0 If these roles get switched, the process will be hindered.\u00a0 The goal of intimacy cannot be attained without Jesus at the wheel.<\/p>\n

In this picture from an episode of Seinfeld, Jerry and his date are accompanied by their chaperone, Kramer.\u00a0 Think of the woman as the Receiver in an Immanuel session and Jerry as Jesus (forgive me Jesus\u2026).\u00a0 Now look at the picture again\u2026Who is driving?\u00a0 Obviously Kramer has taken over the session and Jesus (Jerry) is relegated to the back seat.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the Coach jumps into the driver\u2019s seat.\u00a0 Sometimes even the Receiver can take the wheel.\u00a0 We need to be aware when this is happening and get Jesus back into the driver\u2019s seat as soon as possible!<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Karl Lehman, Coaches of an Immanuel Session \u201cprovide the overall structure \/ framework for the Immanuel Approach\u201d<\/p>\n
