This document discusses mentoring and provides questions for reflection on finding a mentor. It begins by asking about any big life questions or issues one is struggling with, and whether there is anyone outside family to talk to about these things. It then asks what an ideal mentoring relationship would look like and what qualities one would want in a mentor. The document provides several quotes on mentoring and defines it as someone who teaches and gives help and advice. It lists some keys of mentoring as focusing on Christ, acceptance, and building relationships through spending time together. Participants are asked to consider next steps and the role of mentoring in their life.

things? What would it look like to be able to weekly share life with
someone who has been there? Who do you talk to about these issues?

4. Thus, a “discipling” relationship is one in which a
disciple helps another person to become more
obedience to Jesus in attitude, life-style and
mission.

5. “Some people call it self-esteem. Others say self-worth.
Whatever it is—it is the feeling of significance deep
inside us that is crucial to our emotional, spiritual, and
social stability. Everyone wants to be happy and
successful, and to regard himself or herself as a
worthwhile human being. What’s so bad about that?”
-The Search For Significance student edition p. 5

6. “Spiritual formation, education of the heart, in other
words, requires something more than traditional Western
forms of instruction. It requires a mentorship of the heart,
a relationship with a teacher of life who is able to convey
. . . a way of life that is formed, not merely instructions
that are given. It requires a life shared by people who
have learned that spiritual music is sung in its own way.
To educate the heart requires learning that frees the
imagination, prepares ears to listen, focuses eyes to look
with attentiveness; it requires an open heart.” (Reese &
Anderson, Spiritual Mentoring, p. 17)
