Introduction

If you're like most people I talk to, you have a desire to seek God's wisdom to help you be a successful leader at work, at home and in your community. You're a talented individual who seeks God's guidance to do the right thing, make a difference and contribute to a greater good. Unfortunately, life is messy. We're faced with dilemmas and decisions that don't have black and white solutions. Rather, our circumstances are often filled with unanswered questions, paradoxes and uncertainty. I call this the gray zone - a time where the right direction isn't easily discernable.

A memorable Larry King Live program featured Dr. Robert H. Schuller and his son, the Rev. Dr. Robert A. Schuller. They were discussing uncertainty and the role God played. In rapid-fire succession, Larry King shot questions at the pastors: "Why did God allow the tsunami to kill so many people in Southeast Asia? Why did so many people have to die from Hurricane Katrina?

The tension diffused as the younger pastor calmly responded, "Larry, the real question isn't how or why we're going to die. We're all going to die. The real question is 'How are we going to live?'"

Just as Larry King did, we often deal with uncertainty by demanding answers thinking they'll bring clarity. God is My Coach will take the opposite approach. Rather than demanding an answer, we will choose to live with the question. Our approach is to live, learn and lead within the context of uncertainty, not in the absence of it. Why? Because uncertainty keeps us dependent on God. We all have an eternal hunger to search for the Truth, grow closer to God and live a life of significance. Uncertainty is the catalyst that leads us to God. God is My Coach is the means to living a significant life and to leading others in an uncertain world.
