WELCOME TO

Emmaus Road

Coaching Leaders. Strengthening Discipleship Pathways.
Facilitating Discernment Processes.

WHAT WE OFFER

Let's be honest. The church in Canada is struggling.  Many pastors are stretched thin and burning out. There is a shortage of vocational and lay leaders.  We are not raising up leaders or mature disciples in the local church. 

​​

We believe that it's time to change this! Let's partner with God as He renews his church and develops disciples who are theologically rooted, spiritually vibrant and strategically discerning.

 

Towards this end, we offer coaching that helps you to flourish in leadership, consulting to strengthen discipleship pathways in the local church and guidance in discernment processes.

​​

​

Thrive in Leadership.  Form Deep Disciples. Discern God's Direction. ​​

Emmaus offers coaching to emerging and established leaders to help them attend to their own spiritual formation as they disciple others. We empower you to develop your adaptive leadership skills along with spiritual discernment practices.

This enables you to tackle your current challenges and pursue the vision that God has given you and your community. 

As church leaders we long to form mature disciples, but can struggle with how to actually do this for each person and every stage of discipleship. We lack a long-term vision for spiritual formation and the steps for how to get there.  Josiah works with churches to build and strengthen a discipleship pathway that is tailored to their context and commmunity.

Lastly, we lead prayer retreats and communal discernment processes.  We equip leaders and teams in the perspectives, postures and practices of discernment so that they can clearly discern and courageous respond to God's direction.  This is founded in our belief that the Holy Spirit knows how to lead His church best and is looking for leaders who will listen and follow His guidance.  

“Working with Josiah Bokma was a highly clarifying experience for St. Clair Church.  From roundtable discussions and small group leader interviews to the community survey, Josiah asked excellent and diverse questions that uncovered deeper insights, helping us reflect on key areas for growth. His strengths-based report was well-articulated and provided actionable next steps. By synthesizing complex feedback and offering clear, results-oriented recommendations, Josiah gave us insight for prayerful next steps and areas for growth in our discipleship.”
