He has held both formal and informal teaching roles in a number of church denominations. He is an accomplished Bible teacher, trainer, and coach, and is well known for the practical flavor he brings to his workshops.
Lionel’s approach to teaching and coaching sits on an interesting fundamental. He believes the promises of the Bible are for us today. God would not hold out a promise to us, if its fulfillment was not possible. But his teachings goes further. God’s promises are not reserved for ministers, prominent church members, or special people. Everyone (including those who are not formal church members), who satisfies God’s requirements, have access to God’s blessings.
Many Bible teachers and some preachers, seem ready to exclude ordinary people from God’s goodness. Coach Lionel on the other hand, goes to great lengths to show ordinary people how they can be included in God’s blessings, without elaborate religious rituals. Anyone who reads Bro. Lionel’s teachings must appreciate God’s love for ordinary people. Readers will also see how easy it is to align themselves with this love.
Lastly, Bro. Lionel’s writing style is engaging. It takes the reader along in the discussion with amazing flow, and straightforwardness. Even if you are not a Christian, you will appreciate and actually enjoy reading his insightful teachings and coaching.view less
