In many ways it reflects on the idea that our faith and our walk are between us and God, yet we’re called to be a body.
I’m grateful for those wiser than me helping, and I also know from bitter experience what happens when we think “I can sort this out on my own”.
We live in a society and even within the Church where to be honest and be vunerable is not seen as acceptable, yet by sharing our lives with one another we open ourselves up to one of the best ways of growing.
My own exerience tends to be that mentoring just happens between friends, as opposed to being actively encouraged by church leaderships. I suppose there’s a fine line between mentoring and heavy shepherding, but that doesn’t mean we should avoid mentoring.

In His Light, Love and Peace
