One of the avenues for moving toward maturity in Christ is time spent with other Believers—intentionally talking about Jesus.
These friendships can turn into mentoring relationships over a meal, parked for a happy hour drink at Sonic, or sitting together for coffee. God has already placed people in your circle who would be honored to share wisdom, give wise counsel, and tell stories of their up and down again faith journey.
They aren’t perfect, they don’t have everything figured-out; they are simply a few miles farther down the road—a few laps ahead in running the disciple’s race. And they are God’s gift to you—to help you grow.
So text them. Call them. Setup a time to get together.
Here are some questions to get you started if you need ideas for when the food or Limeade or Ethiopian drip arrives:
•What parts of the Bible are most encouraging to you?
•What are some habits or resources that have helped you grow in Christ?
•Have you gone through any spiritually dry seasons?
•What has God taught you about being married?
•How do you bring your relationship with Jesus into your work life (or school life)?
•Tell me about a season of your life when you grew the most as a Christian?
Send that text. Make that call.
Use the share buttons to pass this along to family, friends, and church members.
