Become a Certified Christian Life Coach
Whether you're in the pulpit, the counseling chair, or coaching others through life’s challenges—you’ve been called for such a time as this.
But even the most passionate servant-leaders need tools, training, and ongoing development to continue making the lasting impact they were created for.
To the Christian Leader
You might be a pastor, minister, church leader, nonprofit founder, or someone who consistently finds yourself counseling, advising, and mentoring others. People come to you for wisdom, direction, and support—especially in times of crisis.
You’ve likely helped others through challenges with their faith, families, finances, or personal struggles. Still, you’ve often done so without formal tools or frameworks to support what God has naturally gifted you to do. And while your heart is in the right place, you know it’s time to become more equipped for the weight of what you carry.
Becoming Certified as a Christian Life Coach can help you:
Serve your community with greater clarity and confidence
Strengthen your counseling, discipleship, or mentoring ministries
Create structure and boundaries around the support you offer
Offer workshops, group coaching, or biblical guidance without burnout
You’ve been faithful—but now it's time to be formally prepared for the next level of your leadership.
As a licensed therapist, you’ve already invested years into education and clinical practice. But lately, you’ve been sensing a pull to integrate faith and offer services that go beyond the traditional therapy room.
Maybe you desire:
An additional income stream outside of insurance panels.
The ability to serve clients worldwide without being limited by licensure laws.
The flexibility to launch faith-based programs, courses, or group coaching.
A way to fuse your spiritual gifts and clinical insight for greater impact.
Becoming Certified as a Christian Life Coach allows you to:
Reach more people without geographical restrictions.
Expand your offerings beyond therapy into coaching, mentorship, and speaking.
Empower clients spiritually and practically—without compromising ethics.
Generate additional revenue while staying aligned with your Kingdom assignment.
You answered the call, got certified, launched your business, and started helping people make tangible, measurable changes. But now, you feel the Holy Spirit prompting you to sharpen your skills and grow even further.
You may have gotten certified a while ago, and things have changed. Maybe you’re craving new tools, deeper biblical integration, or fresh coaching approaches that reflect today’s clients' needs. Perhaps you’ve even questioned if you’re “doing it right” or feeling stuck in your business.
This is your sign to be re-certified—because excellence matters.
Being re-certified gives you:
Access to new skills, coaching tools, and updated industry practices.
Greater confidence to serve clients effectively and ethically.
Fresh anointing, mentorship, and support from a Kingdom-centered community.
Opportunities to increase your credibility and attract your ideal clients.
You’re not just a coach—you’re a vessel God uses to shift lives. Let’s make sure you’re equipped for this next season of impact.

What Students Are Saying!
Shaniah Bell
EmPowered Purpose Academy is truly a God-centered program run by someone I can not only trust, but I know Shakeeta means well and wants the best for us and others spiritually! I tried to start other programs but did not feel right about it, and as soon as I heard Shakeeta pray over the Zoom webinar, I knew immediately it was where I needed to be!
The program is laid out very clearly and touches on many different topics that are helpful to understand all of what coaching entails! After this first Module, I already have an increased confidence in my ability to go forward, and the call of God on my life!
The Empowered Purpose Academy is an all around Spirit-led Christian Life Coaching Program that will not only inform you, but help confirm your calling in Christ. The owner, Shakeeta Torres is personable, and cares about the well-being and growth both spiritually and personally, of her clients. Everything sits on the foundation of the Word of God and is covered in prayer. This program has helped me in my own walk with the Lord and I am 100% certain this program has set me up for success Spiritually and in the realm of business as I move forward in the things of God. By far the best Christian Life Coaching Program I have participated in.
Johnathan Adams
Mrs. Torres was an awesome teacher was able to relate to all of her student's courses was well explained able to ask questions and they were answered thoroughly thank you for your guidance and ultimately listening to the Lord and being obedient thank you once again! :)
Monica Gillespie
I had a wonderful experience learning and gaining mentorship from Mrs. Shakeeta S. Torres. She provided gentle directions and insight as well as counseling to me and other upcoming life-coaches. The Holy Spirit Module is so powerful! I have enjoyed enjoyed this module immensely.
Teleah Thurston
I chose EmPowered Purpose Academy because Shakeeta is someone of integrity & maturity, within her walk with God, so she's not teaching fluff. I have no doubt that I will be well prepared.
I really appreciated the time frame of the videos in this module as I was able to get a quick lesson from your personal experiences/examples but still take the document and write out key points for memory retention.
My key takeaways were the different questioning techniques as well as the different types of listening. I was familiar the open and closed ended questions and the pros and cons related to them but now I have more information to bring even more depth and support to clients because I can help open their perspective simply by asking the right type of questions.
I highly recommend that anyone who wants to become a life coach or even if you are already one that has hit a brick wall in your business, take this course! Shakeeta's expertise is wide spread and heavy weighted. All of the courses are helpful, but the last module (for me in this season) was EXTREMELY helpful in providing clarity and direction. Not to mention our weekly check-ins to be able to ask questions, gain even more insight than what's already provided on the course, as well as network with other students.
Especially, as a Christian Life Coach, it's important to me to have the proper knowledge to be prepared in my field. I am thankful to have taken a course that was WORTH THE INVESTMENT and no fluff!
The homework assignments are thought out and will help you no matter what lane you are in or planning to be in.
I have a lot to consider with my business, but now I know what steps to take and I am well prepared for my clients.
I look forward to adding more certifications under my belt from this academy in the future.
Noelle Smith
The number one determining factor in choosing this program was the Christ-Like credibility. In the information webinar alone, the presence of God was prevalent. Words were spoken to me that had been previously spoken directly from the Holy Spirit, so clear confirmation was at work.
Upon finishing the program, I received so much clarity about my purpose and who I am called to serve. After the last module, the Holy Spirit downloaded onto me the full blueprint of how to move forward in my ministry and how to create my content and programs. This Life Coaching Certification Program has truly been a blessing to me. I highly recommend this program to those who are seeking to become a Certified Christian Life Coach.
After completing this program, the Holy Spirit began to download into me the blueprint for my next assignment for over four hours. I was overwhelmed with excitement and joy. This program unlocked a part of my purpose and assignment in my ministry.
Taterrian Thompkins
I recently completed the Empowered Purpose Life Coaching Certification Program, under the guidance of the remarkable Mrs. Shakeeta Torres —an amazing woman of God. Her wealth of knowledge, especially in spiritual leadership for life coaching, is truly commendable. What sets this program apart is its comprehensive coverage, not just on spiritual aspects, but also in business and marketing. This program is truly a treasure of valuable information. The well-structured course content allows for easy comprehension, and I thoroughly enjoyed taking the time to familiarize myself with different tools and resources to determine the most effective ones for my life coaching journey. I am very enthusiastic about putting the valuable information I acquired into practice to continue supporting others in reaching their life goals as well.
